This pull request adds the configuration option org.csstudio.display.builder.representation/svg_rendering_resolution_factor to Phoebus.

Setting this option to a value greater than 0.0 scales the resolution that SVGs are rendered at both horizontally and vertically by that factor, at the expense of significant memory consumption: the memory consumption of rendered SVGs scales as the square of org.csstudio.display.builder.representation/svg_rendering_resolution_factor: when org.csstudio.display.builder.representation/svg_rendering_resolution_factor=1.9, then the memory consumption will be (approximately) 3.61 times larger than the memory consumption when org.csstudio.display.builder.representation/svg_rendering_resolution_factor=1.0.

The motivation for the functionality is to enable sharper rendering of SVGs when zooming in.

By default, org.csstudio.display.builder.representation/svg_rendering_resolution_factor is set to 1.0.

Would it make sense to enforce a minimum value of 1.0 instead of 0.0?

It would certainly be possible. I implemented it like this since values greater than 0 (e.g., 0.5) are meaningful: then SVGs will not appear sharp unless one zooms out.

Seems the scaling factor applies globally to all SVGs -> increased memory usage even if zooming is not used?

Yes, this is correct.

ESS makes extensive (extensive!) use of SVGs. I would prefer the scaling factor to be applied only upon zoom actions.

I would prefer the scaling factor to be applied only upon zoom actions.

I will try to implement and evaluate this alternative approach.
