Embedding SVG in HTML [duplicate] - css

This question already has an answer here:
How do you style a external svg with css
(1 answer)
Closed 4 years ago.
I'm trying to understand something very basic about using SVGs in HTML:
I know all about the different methods: as <img>, as inline, and as <object>. But regarding the latter, I just can't figure how SVG properties are then controlled.
I'd like to change the fill colour, for instance. I can do it by editing the .svg file itself. But can I also do it from my CSS stylesheet? I'm assuming that adding <style> tags in the .svg file is probably not the recommended solution.


Use fill instead background-color to style background color
and stroke instead border
Learn here:https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_svg.asp
For example
svg circle{
fill:red;
stroke:pink;
}
svg path{
fill:red;
}
<p>Shape</p>
<svg width="100" height="100">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="green" stroke-width="4"/>
</svg>
<p>with Path:</p>
<svg height="210" width="400">
<path d="M150 0 L75 200 L225 200 Z" />
</svg>

Clear an already set "fill" property in CSS to get defaults back for an SVG

I'm using a platform that within it's own CSS it sets the fill property as so:
.tatsu-svg-icon-custom svg * {
fill: currentColor;
}
This ends up with an SVG I am adding being black in this instance - which is not helpful. This particular SVG is a multi-colored SVG and handles all the fill properties itself within the code of the SVG.
Obviously if I change this property to aother color, it colors the whole SVG that color - so that is not helpful either.
So my question is, how do I get the defaults back so it doesn't apply any color to it? Setting it to initial makes the SVG transparent.

The keyword that would help in this situation is revert-layer. Unfortunately, it is currently only implemented in Firefox (>= 97).
(This example will seem to work even for other browsers. But that is because for them, it is an invalid keyword.)
.tatsu-svg-icon-custom svg * {
fill: revert-layer;
}
<div class="tatsu-svg-icon-custom">
<svg width="100" viewBox="0 0 20 20">
<circle r="5" cx="5" cy="5" fill="yellow" />
<circle r="5" cx="5" cy="15" fill="blue" />
<circle r="5" cx="15" cy="5" fill="red" />
<circle r="5" cx="15" cy="15" fill="green" />
</svg>
</div>

Colorize transparent part of SVG icons

I want to colorize a transparent part of a svg icon from font awesome. I am using Vue Fort-Awesome package.
Here as you see inner part of icon is getting the background image of my main div. However I don't want those part to be transparent. Do you have any tricky solution for it? I know this question can be very easy but I couldn't find how to search for it on google.
<v-icon
icon="minus-circle"
class="w-6 h-6 rounded-full text-red-500"
/>
Those are technologies that I use but simple css trick can be acceptable too.

You can change the color of the minus or circle by changing the hex value in the fill section.
For other icons, you can change color by editing the svg file.
<svg width="200" height="200" viewBox="0 0 200 200" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<circle cx="100" cy="100" r="100" fill="#00970F"/>
<rect x="39" y="88" width="123" height="25" rx="10" fill="#FA00FF"/>
</svg>

Cannot Change SVG <use> icon size when linked to <symbol>

I'm trying to use an SVG symbol in my mark-up, but I can't get the CSS to increase the size of the symbol being rendered inside a element?
I have a twitter logo defined in a set of tags, and then I'm referencing this with an xlink:href inside use tags. The icon is showing, but when I add CSS to the #box1 div holding the element the symbol isn't increasing or decreasing in size and seems to only rendering at the viewBox size.
Also, the SVG element itself when I hover it with the dev tools is rendering at 300 x 150px - but there is nothing on in the code with these measurements.
I'm really confused — any help would be awesome.
#box1 {
height: 10rem;
width: 10rem;
}
<defs style="display: none;">
<svg id="twitter" viewBox="0 0 19.19 15.95">
<symbol id="twitter-symbol"><title>twitter</title>
<path id="twitter-path" d="M19.19,1.92a8.76,8.76,0,0,1-2.28.64A3.9,3.9,0,0,0,18.63.32a6.87,6.87,0,0,1-2.52,1A3.87,3.87,0,0,0,13.23,0,4,4,0,0,0,9.32,4,3.41,3.41,0,0,0,9.44,5,11,11,0,0,1,1.32.72a4.29,4.29,0,0,0-.52,2A4,4,0,0,0,2.56,6.12,3.61,3.61,0,0,1,.76,5.6v0a4,4,0,0,0,3.16,4,4.35,4.35,0,0,1-1,.16,4.9,4.9,0,0,1-.76-.08,4,4,0,0,0,3.68,2.8A7.79,7.79,0,0,1,.92,14.19a6.78,6.78,0,0,1-.92,0A10.83,10.83,0,0,0,6,16c7.24,0,11.19-6.16,11.19-11.47V4a6.83,6.83,0,0,0,2-2" fill="#000">
</path>
</symbol>
</svg>
</defs>
<div id="box1">
<svg>
<use xlink:href="#twitter-symbol"/>
</svg>
</div>

The <defs>is an svg element. It always goes inside the svg. I've made a few changes and now it works. Please run the code and take a look at what I've done.
#box1 {
height: 10rem;
width: 10rem;
}
#twitter{display:none;}
<svg id="twitter">
<defs>
<symbol id="twitter-symbol"><title>twitter</title>
<path id="twitter-path" d="M19.19,1.92a8.76,8.76,0,0,1-2.28.64A3.9,3.9,0,0,0,18.63.32a6.87,6.87,0,0,1-2.52,1A3.87,3.87,0,0,0,13.23,0,4,4,0,0,0,9.32,4,3.41,3.41,0,0,0,9.44,5,11,11,0,0,1,1.32.72a4.29,4.29,0,0,0-.52,2A4,4,0,0,0,2.56,6.12,3.61,3.61,0,0,1,.76,5.6v0a4,4,0,0,0,3.16,4,4.35,4.35,0,0,1-1,.16,4.9,4.9,0,0,1-.76-.08,4,4,0,0,0,3.68,2.8A7.79,7.79,0,0,1,.92,14.19a6.78,6.78,0,0,1-.92,0A10.83,10.83,0,0,0,6,16c7.24,0,11.19-6.16,11.19-11.47V4a6.83,6.83,0,0,0,2-2" fill="#000">

</symbol>
</defs>
</svg>
<div id="box1">
<svg viewBox="0 0 19.19 15.95" width="24">
<use xlink:href="#twitter-symbol"/>
</svg>
</div>
I hope it helps.

You're using inline SVG code within your HTML, so I believe that SVG path needs a viewbox defined within it. For example, if you add viewBox="0 0 60 55" within your HTML SVG tag, you'll notice that the size will start to adjust. So edit this part of your HTML
<svg viewBox="0 0 60 55">
<use xlink:href="#twitter-symbol"/>
</svg>
To expand on your note where you found the size listed as 300x150, this is the default standard size that applies to HTML inline SVG code (per HTML5 specs). This differs sometimes depending on the browser.
Keep in mind, there a are a few different methods you can use when handling SVGs. Check out the guide below where they give a nice run down on SVG and how to manipulate it's size. You might find an alternative way that you would prefer to use.

Fill external imported svg file

I'm using Angular 5 and i would fill my white svg image.
I have a svg file like this:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 20 20"><title>ic_calendar</title><g id="Level_2" data-name="Level 2"><g id="screen"><path d="M18.5,5.11a2.55,2.55,0,0,0-.58-1.68,2.27,2.27,0,0,0-1.7-.71H14.85v-1a.68.68,0,1,0-1.35,0v1H6.39v-1A.67.67,0,0,0,5.72,1,.68.68,0,0,0,5,1.68v1H3.75A2.15,2.15,0,0,0,1.5,5.09V16.4a2.71,2.71,0,0,0,.69,2A2.08,2.08,0,0,0,3.7,19H16.34a2.14,2.14,0,0,0,2.15-2.26C18.51,15.07,18.5,5.57,18.5,5.11Zm-15.65,0h0c0-.71.27-1,.9-1H5v1a.69.69,0,0,0,.68.68.68.68,0,0,0,.67-.68v-1H13.5v1a.68.68,0,1,0,1.35,0v-1H16.2a1,1,0,0,1,.71.26,1.17,1.17,0,0,1,.24.72V6.84H2.85Zm14.3,11.64c0,.78-.52.9-.81.91H3.7a.73.73,0,0,1-.56-.2,1.49,1.49,0,0,1-.29-1V8.2h14.3Z" style="fill:#fff"/><rect width="20" height="20" style="fill:none"/></g></g></svg>
So, i'm importing it through this code:
<svg class="myClass">
<use xlink:href="assetFolder/ic_calendar.svg#Level_2"></use>
</svg>
However, i can't change the svg image style and i can't fill it.
I tried, via sass, to add the following:
svg { fill: blue; }
or
path { fill: blue; }
But nothing...
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Presentation attributes svg have the highest priority and can not
be changed with thecss. Therefore, they need to be removed if you
want to change the color of the svg objects from the external table
CSS
When using the <use> command, svg objects fall into the shadow DOM
In order to stylize these objects, you must use forced inheritance
path {
fill:inherit;
stroke:inherit;
}
Below is an example where objects are called from the <defs> section with the use command and stylized from the external table css
path {
fill:inherit;
stroke:inherit;
}
#screen {
fill:dodgerblue;
}
rect {fill:#D5D5D5;}
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 20 20">
<title>ic_calendar</title>
<defs>
<g id="screen">
<rect id="rect1" width="20" height="20" />
<path d="M18.5,5.11a2.55,2.55,0,0,0-.58-1.68,2.27,2.27,0,0,0-1.7-.71H14.85v-1a.68.68,0,1,0-1.35,0v1H6.39v-1A.67.67,0,0,0,5.72,1,.68.68,0,0,0,5,1.68v1H3.75A2.15,2.15,0,0,0,1.5,5.09V16.4a2.71,2.71,0,0,0,.69,2A2.08,2.08,0,0,0,3.7,19H16.34a2.14,2.14,0,0,0,2.15-2.26C18.51,15.07,18.5,5.57,18.5,5.11Zm-15.65,0h0c0-.71.27-1,.9-1H5v1a.69.69,0,0,0,.68.68.68.68,0,0,0,.67-.68v-1H13.5v1a.68.68,0,1,0,1.35,0v-1H16.2a1,1,0,0,1,.71.26,1.17,1.17,0,0,1,.24.72V6.84H2.85Zm14.3,11.64c0,.78-.52.9-.81.91H3.7a.73.73,0,0,1-.56-.2,1.49,1.49,0,0,1-.29-1V8.2h14.3Z" />
</g>
</defs>
<use xlink:href="#screen" />
</svg>

You have an inline style on your svg path - style="fill:#fff". Inline styles take precedence over styles in a CSS stylesheet. But thats what !important is for!
either update your style to this:
path { fill: blue !important; }
OR simply remove the inline styling.

Add css to svg with inkscape

I use Inkscape for creating svg images and want to know how to use not embedded css rules.
For example
draw rectangle
in XML-editor add class attribute as
class="rect1"
to svg:rect object
How to add css like
.rect1 {
fill:#ffef00;
}

Here's an example of an SVG in an HTML page that you can style with CSS:
HTML page
<div id="mySvg">
<svg>
<use xlink:href="images/logo.svg#shape" />
</svg>
</div>
The SVG (located at images/logo.svg)
<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<defs>
<g id="shape">
<rect x="50" y="50" width="50" height="50" />
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="50" />
</g>
</defs>
</svg>
The CSS
svg {
fill: currentColor;
}
#mySvg {
color: green;
}
See working example: plunker
Notes
If you use Inkscape to create your SVG, you'll probably have to do some hand-editing of the SVG to make it styleable with CSS.
Make sure the SVG code doesn't have any fill attributes in it (fill should be in the CSS). When making an SVG with Inkscape, it often has a fill:none or something. You'll have to manually remove those.
When using Inkscape, save files as "Optimized SVG" as described here.
