Bug Description
The included pattern "Packaged Circles" uses four circles to draw the pattern, but only two of the circles are necessary.
This is the default pattern (see the file /share/
<pattern
width="1"
<circle style="
<circle style="
<circle style="
<circle style="
</pattern>
The following pattern produces the exact same results:
<pattern
width="1"
<circle style="
<circle style="
</pattern>
I haven't really looked into why, but it probably has to do with some symmetry operations.

Tested on Windows XP, Inkscape trunk revision 12845.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work as expected here (see screenshot).
