And it existed in Adobe Illustrator for years. This is a standard svg2 feature allowing create "conical" gradients in single closed objects. Even it allows create curved gradients. This helps draw many 3D-like looking objects, natural looking dial knobs and so on. But current QSvgRenderer does not support this feature. I just tested - it draws nothing if Mesh gradient is used. So... Are there plans for this feature in QSvgRenderer? Does anybody work on it?

No, nobody is working on QtSvg, unfortunately.  SVG Tiny is supported, and lots of other cool stuff is omitted.

If you want a real up-to-date SVG renderer you’ll have to look elsewhere… webengine for example.
