Hi! First of all thanks to the community for sharing and maintaining such an awesome tool! 🥳
I have a specific problem which I'm sure has a solution, but struggling with it and maybe someone has a good hint:

Goal:
I am trying to match a path across different .svg files (in different positions and without using attributes like Id)

Input: (see attached files)

• arrow.svg - contains single element
• find-arrow.svg - contains multiple elements

Desired output:

• List of paths (or indexes of Paths list) in svg2paths2('find-arrow.svg') that match the path in arrow.svg. Looking to do the matching only based on the path across different viewBoxes, so colors and other attributes are not considered.

Trying to first simplify problem with this basic examples, but the idea is then to do the same for more elaborate paths.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated! 😇

UPDATE:
I created a Jupyter Notebook solving the above problem, definitely not the most elegant way, but so far seems to work for simple figures. Feedback would be highly appreciated, still a lot to learn here! 😇
Gonna experiment now with groups of paths.
