Here I have this kind of svg image with some magnetic field plotted (a zoomed extract in png)
I need to scale it along the x axis only, I did it with Inkscape (which use svg scale or matrix transform operations), and I get this :
But borders and strokes became uneven, I would like to be able to scale the positions of the paths and shapes without skewing the stroke themselves... Possibly with Inkscape, or with any script based procedure. Do you know a trick ?
Edit (link to the original pictures, with the scaling problem, on the second one we can clearly see that the width of the strokes and borders is compressed along the x axis)

If you select the whole SVG, or a group of paths and apply a transform to the group, then everything inside the group will be affected by the transform. As you have seen.
The laborious fix is to separate the magnetic field lines from the magnet. Scale the magnet. Then manually reposition the field line path points so that they are again in the right place.
A quicker, clumsier fix is to set vector-effect="non-scaling-stroke" on all paths. As I have done in the demo below.
path {
vector-effect: non-scaling-stroke;

</svg>The problem is that you are scaling a group of objects, rather than the objects contained in the group. As a result, Inkscape and SVG standard render the unscaled objects composing the group, and then apply the scaling—this results in strokes being scaled too.
If you want to scale the paths in an anisotropic way but not the strokes along them, you need to scale the objects that make up the group. Select the group, ungroup ShiftCtrlG until the helpline mentions "N objects of type path,rectangle" and scale this selection. Then group them again CtrlG.
