[Lazarus] SVG Object

[Steve Gatenby]

Thank you Mehmet -

Tried to follow the math within the svg (inkscape) on my first attempt(s)

got completely lost (which leads to questioning ones intelligence) on 
the transforms, scales and differing units :)

So now fully fudging it by dividing the Svg source Height and Width by a 
grid format and call each one a quadrant location (x,y).

Then do the same with the OnClick position of the viewer (so relative 
quadrants / sizes), and find closest matching (for me) object. All 
depends on granularity of grid for accuracy.

Works, but is very dependent on complexity of the svg (not a problem for 
my use case so far)
