Hello,I’m Sara.

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation.

Why SVGs?

➔ SVGs are accessible

➔ Scalable & Resolution Independent

➔ Very Good Browser Support

➔ Smaller sizes (can be gzipped)

➔ Built-in Graphics Effects (Blend Modes, Filters, etc.)

➔ Interactive and Styleable (CSS and Javascript)

➔ SVGs Have Tools

Embedded Styles (<style>) Inside svg

<style type=”text/css”><![CDATA[

selector {/* styles */}]]>

Embedded Styles (<style>) Outside svg

<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> ... </head> <body><style type=”text/css”>

filename.html

External Style Sheets

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?><?xml-stylesheet

type="text/css" href="style.css"?>

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1"

</svg> filename.svg

Style Rules (Selectors) Type Selectors:g {/* style a group */}circle, rect { fill: #009966; }

Class and ID Selectors:.arrow-head { /* styles */ }#bird { /* styles */ }

Dynamic Pseudo-Class Selectors:.icon:hover, .icon:active, .icon:focus { /* styles */ }

Pseudo-Class Selectors::first-child, :last-child, :nth-*-child(), :visited, :link and :lang, :last-of-type, :first-of-type, :not(), :nth-*-type(), :only-child, :only-of-type, ...

Children Selectors:g > circle {/* styles */}

Notes: Pseudo-elements/Generated Content don’t work.

Style Cascades

http://goo.gl/QHFp6w

Presentation attributes count as low level “author stylesheets” and are overridden by any other style definition (external stylesheets, document stylesheets and inline styles).

<circle cx="100" cy="100" r="75" fill="blue" style="fill:deepPink;" />

Example: Simple Hover Effect (Iconic)

Changing the stroke color and stroke width. Fading background in on hover.

3 <embed type="image/svg+xml" src="image.svg" />

4<iframe src="image.svg">



</iframe>

5 <svg> … </svg> <!-- XHTML/HTML5 Document -- >

6 #el { background-image: url(image.svg); }

SVG Embed Technique Links, External Styles, Interactivity, CSS Animations

<img src=”img.svg” alt=”” /> Nope*

<object type="image/svg+xml" data="image.svg"></object> Yep

<embed type="image/svg+xml" src="image.svg" /> Yep

<iframe src="image.svg"></iframe> Yep

Inline <svg> … </svg> Yep

background-image: url(image.svg); Nope*

* CSS animations won’t be played, but SVG (SMIL) animations will be preserved..

Example (Embedded)

Responsifying

SVGs

1. Remove Width & Height, Add viewBox

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 300 300"> <style type="text/css">

/* ... */ </style> <path class="body" d=”...”> </svg>

owl.svg

2. Preserve Aspect Ratio

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 300 300" preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMin meet"> <style type="text/css">

/* ... */ </style> <path class="body" d=”...”> </svg>

owl.svg

Note: Without viewBox, preserveAspectRatio has no effect.

http://goo.gl/b50HY8

http://goo.gl/b50HY8

3. Embed & Wrap in a container<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> ... </head>

<body><div class=”my-svg-container”>

<object type="image/svg+xml" data="owl.svg" class=”my-svg”>

 </object>

</div></body></html>

responsive-owl.html

SVG can be embedded as <object>, <img> or inline as an <svg>. The technique will work for all three embeds.

4. Padding Hack on Container

.my-svg-container {height: 0;position: relative; /* create positioning context for svg

*/width: width-value; padding-top: (SVG height / SVG width) * width-value;

}

responsive-owl.css

For owl.svg: padding-top = 300 / 300 * 100 = 1 * 100 = 100%;If width of container = 60%: padding-top = 300 / 300 * 60 = 1 * 60 = 60%;If owl.svg has width 250px, height 400px: padding-top = 400/250 * 100 = 1.6 * 100 = 160%;

4. Position SVG Inside Container

/* pull the svg to the top of the container */.my-svg {

position: absolute;top: 0;

left: 0;width: 100%; /* only required for <img /> */

}

responsive-owl.css

6. Resize!

Animating SVGs with CSS

Transforming

SVGs

Initial transform-origin on HTML & SVG

Box Model? transform-origin (default value)

HTML elements (div, etc.) Yes 50% 50%*

SVG elements (circle, rect, etc.) No 0 0**

*50% 50% = center of the HTML element itself** 0 0 is the top left corner of the SVG canvas, not the element itself

CSS Transforms on HTML & SVG<!DOCTYPE html>...<div style=”width: 100px; height: 100px; background-color: orange”> </div><svg style=”width: 150px; height: 150px; background-color: #eee”>

<rect width="100" height="100" x="25" y="25" fill="orange" /></svg>

Setting transform-origin on SVG Elements

1. Using Percentage Values: The value is set relative to the

element’s bounding box, which includes the stroke used to

draw its border.

2. Using absolute length values: The origin is set relative to the

SVG canvas.

CSS Transforms on HTML vs SVG (cont’d)<!DOCTYPE html><style>

div, rect {transform-origin: 50% 50%;

}</style>

Heads up: Transform-Origin Issue In Firefox With Percentage Values

Setting transform-origin using a percentage value currently doesn’t work in Firefox. That is a bug. (It shouldn’t be a problem if you’re not rotating anything.)

Setting it in absolute length values should be fairly simple using a graphics editor.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=891074

Example: PinWheel

PinWheel by http://pixeldoree.com/vector/free-vector-pinwheels-adobe-illustrator-and-png-files/

.wheel { -webkit-transform-origin: 50% 50%;

transform-origin: 193px 164px; animation:

spin 4s cubic-bezier(.49,.05,.32,1.04)infinite alternate;}

@keyframes spin { 50% { transform: rotate(360deg); }}

Zooming out (or in) in Webkit/Blink does not maintain the transform origin at the center of the rotating element. This is a bug.

This issue does not happen in Firefox, where the transform origin is set in absolute values (relative to the SVG canvas).

Heads up: Transform-Origin Issue In Chrome With Percentage Values

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133150

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=375664

→ Just use absolute values (for the time being)!

Heads up: Hardware Acceleration In Chrome

CSS 3D transforms are hardware accelerated in Chrome when applied to HTML elements. However, they are not accelerated when used on SVG elements - they have the same performance profile as SVG transform attributes. They are accelerated in Firefox.

Animating SVG Paths

Animated Line DrawingTo Animate an SVG path you need to know its exact length. Then:

#path {

stroke-dasharray: pathLength;

stroke-dashoffset: pathLength;

/* transition stroke-dashoffset */

transition: stroke-dashoffset 2s linear;

}

svg:hover #path{

stroke-dashoffset: 0;

}

Example#cable {

stroke: #FFF2B1;stroke-dasharray: 4000 4000;stroke-dashoffset: 4000;stroke-width: 4;transition: stroke-dashoffset 8s

linear;}svg:hover #cable {

stroke-dashoffset: 0;}/* turn lamp on */.inner-lamp{

fill:grey; transition: fill .5s ease-in 6s;

}svg:hover .inner-lamp {

fill: #FBFFF8;}/* ... */

The animated path is positioned on top of the black path. When SVG is hovered path is animated, and the lamp is “turned on” after path finishes animation, using a delay that is equal to the animation (transition) time of the path.

Example 2

http://goo.gl/zII9p0

http://goo.gl/zII9p0

var path = document.querySelector('.drawing-path');path.getTotalLength();//set CSS properties uppath.style.strokeDasharray = length + ' ' + length;path.style.strokeDashoffset = length;//set transition uppath.style.transition = 'stroke-dashoffset 2s ease-in-out';// animatepath.style.strokeDashoffset = '0';//more: http://jakearchibald.com/2013/animated-line-drawing-svg/

Animated Paths (Morphing Paths)

Animated Paths (Morphing Paths)

The idea is to create a SVG with one path and to morph that path into another one.

You’ll need: the first path, the second path, and possibly intermediate paths (depending on your animation).

There is no way in CSS to animate one SVG path into another.

Use Snap.svg

“ By using animated SVGs instead of GIFs we were able to reduce our page size from 1.6 mb to 389 kb, and reduce our page load time from 8.75 s to 412 ms. That’s a huge difference.”
