Fail to open SVG graphics as SVG Marker in QGIS

Sunday 6 January 2019

I have an SVG graphic which should be placed in certain locations on my map in QGIS 2.18.

I can open it through Adobe Photoshop, Inkscape, Chrome, it even obeys Internet Explorer.

As for me, everything looks okay when I check my SVG element through Notepad++.

It is accessible via JSFiddle: SVG_Example

However, when I modify the point symbology through

Layer Properties > Style > Single Symbol > SVG Marker

I am getting a fully black icon, see the image below.

Any suggestions on how can I overcome this issue?

Answer

In my case deleting and (but not it's content) from the SVG graphics for instance with Notepad++ solved my issue. See the image below.
