add the ability to add background color on pad

[leroy0211]

When i use pad to create whitespace around my image. For example from a landscape svg to a square png, the whitespace will be transparent.

I actually want the whitespace to be white (#fff). When I use "svg{background:white;}" only the transparency of the input svg will be white, not the whitespace of the pad section.

Am I missing something here??

Probably that's actually the expected behavior, can you please try this answer?

I need this as well.

Could the pad operation simply grow the SVG element and put all its element in a <g /> with the appropriate transform applied?

Right now the feature is rather useless (it can only be used to add some transparent space).

@EmielM Your solution is to hard to do, it requires svg manipulation. Can you please share an example? I will try to look at this weekend.
