Fill SVG path with colour but on hover fade-in pattern - css
I am trying to add an SVG image (in this case a flag of Belgium) as the fill of an SVG path (actually an ellipse). On hover, the ellipse's fill has to transition into red. In other words, the fill SVG has to 'fade out'. I tried it in a way I'd do it with CSS, but neither the SVG pattern nor the transition seem to work. I tried on Chrome and Firefox.
svg ellipse {
fill: url(#img1);
transition: fill 400ms;
}
svg:hover ellipse {
fill: red;
}

</svg>
You can't transition fill like that because the two fills are not something that can be interpolated smoothly between.
What you need to do is have two versions of the ellipse, one on top of the other. Then either fade in or out the top one.
.visible-on-hover {
transition: opacity 400ms;
opacity: 0;
}
.visible-on-hover:hover {
opacity: 1;
}

background color not appying on Text tag inside svg [duplicate]
I want to color the background of svg text similar to background-color in css I was only able to find documentation on fill, which colors the text itself Is it even possible?
You could use a filter to generate the background. <svg width="100%" height="100%"> <defs> <filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="solid"> <feFlood flood-color="yellow" result="bg" /> <feMerge> <feMergeNode in="bg"/> <feMergeNode in="SourceGraphic"/> </feMerge> </filter> </defs> <text filter="url(#solid)" x="20" y="50" font-size="50">solid background</text> </svg>
No this is not possible, SVG elements do not have background-... presentation attributes.
To simulate this effect you could draw a rectangle behind the text attribute with fill="green" or something similar (filters). Using JavaScript you could do the following:
var ctx = document.getElementById("the-svg"),
textElm = ctx.getElementById("the-text"),
SVGRect = textElm.getBBox();
var rect = document.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", "rect");
rect.setAttribute("x", SVGRect.x);
rect.setAttribute("y", SVGRect.y);
rect.setAttribute("width", SVGRect.width);
rect.setAttribute("height", SVGRect.height);
rect.setAttribute("fill", "yellow");
ctx.insertBefore(rect, textElm);
The solution I have used is: <svg> <line x1="100" y1="100" x2="500" y2="100" style="stroke:black; stroke-width: 2"/> <text x="150" y="105" style="stroke:white; stroke-width:0.6em">Hello World!</text> <text x="150" y="105" style="fill:black">Hello World!</text> </svg> A duplicate text item is being placed, with stroke and stroke-width attributes. The stroke should match the background colour, and the stroke-width should be just big enough to create a "splodge" on which to write the actual text. A bit of a hack and there are potential issues, but works for me!
Instead of using a <text> tag, the <foreignObject> tag can be used, which allows for XHTML content with CSS.
No, you can not add background color to SVG elements. You can do it programmatically with d3.
var text = d3.select("text");
var bbox = text.node().getBBox();
var padding = 2;
var rect = self.svg.insert("rect", "text")
.attr("x", bbox.x - padding)
.attr("y", bbox.y - padding)
.attr("width", bbox.width + (padding*2))
.attr("height", bbox.height + (padding*2))
.style("fill", "red");
Answer by Robert Longson (#RobertLongson) with modifications: <svg width="100%" height="100%"> <defs> <filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="solid"> <feFlood flood-color="yellow"/> <feComposite in="SourceGraphic" operator="xor"/> </filter> </defs> <text filter="url(#solid)" x="20" y="50" font-size="50"> solid background </text> <text x="20" y="50" font-size="50">solid background</text> </svg> and we have no bluring and no heavy "getBBox" :) Padding is provided by white spaces in text-element with filter. It's worked for me
Going further with #dbarton_uk answer, to avoid duplicating text you can use paint-order=stroke style: <svg> <line x1="100" y1="100" x2="350" y2="100" style="stroke:grey; stroke-width: 100"/> <text x="150" y="105" style="stroke:white; stroke-width:0.5em; fill:black; paint-order:stroke; stroke-linejoin:round">Hello World!</text> </svg> Note the stroke-linejoin:round which is needed to avoid seeing spikes for the W sharp angle.
You can combine filter with the text. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset=utf-8 /> <title>SVG colored patterns via mask</title> </head> <body> <svg viewBox="0 0 300 300" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <defs> <filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="bg-text"> <feFlood flood-color="white"/> <feComposite in="SourceGraphic" operator="xor" /> </filter> </defs> <!-- something has already existed --> <rect fill="red" x="150" y="20" width="100" height="50" /> <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="50" fill="blue"/> <!-- Text render here --> <text filter="url(#bg-text)" fill="black" x="20" y="50" font-size="30">text with color</text> <text fill="black" x="20" y="50" font-size="30">text with color</text> </svg> </body> </html>
this is my favorite hack (not sure it should work). It refer an element that is not yet displayed, and it works pretty well <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 620 40" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet"> <defs> <filter x="-0.02" y="0" width="1.04" height="1.1" id="removebackground"> <feFlood flood-color="#00ffff"/> </filter> </defs> <!--Draw the text--> <use xlink:href="#mygroup" filter="url(#removebackground)" /> <g id="mygroup"> <text id="text1" x="9" y="20" style="text-anchor:start;font-size:14px;">custom text with background</text> <line x1="200" y1="18" x2="200" y2="36" stroke="#000" stroke-width="5"/> <line x1="120" y1="27" x2="203" y2="27" stroke="#000" stroke-width="5"/> </g> </svg>
For those wondering how to apply padding to a text element when it has a background like in the Robert's answer, do the following: <svg> <defs> <filter x="-0.1" y="-0.1" width="1.2" height="1.2" id="solid"> <feFlood flood-color="#171717"/> <feComposite in="SourceGraphic" operator="xor" /> </filter> </defs> <text filter="url(#solid)" x="20" y="50" font-size="50">Hello</text> </svg> In the example above, filter's x and y positions can be used as transform: translate(-10%, -10%) would, and width and height values can be read as 120% and 120%. So we made background 20% bigger, and offsetted it -10%, so background is now 10% bigger on each side of the text.
The previous answers relied on doubling up text and lacked sufficient whitespace. By using atop and I was able to get the results I wanted. This example also includes arrows, a common use case for SVG text labels: <svg viewBox="-105 -40 210 234"> <title>Size Guide</title> <defs> <filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="solid"> <feFlood flood-color="white"></feFlood> <feComposite in="SourceGraphic" operator="atop"></feComposite> </filter> <marker id="arrow" viewBox="0 0 10 10" refX="5" refY="5" markerWidth="6" markerHeight="6" orient="auto-start-reverse"> <path d="M 0 0 L 10 5 L 0 10 z"></path> </marker> </defs> <g id="garment"> <path id="right-body" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="1" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M0 0 l30 0 l0 154 l-30 0"></path> <path id="right-sleeve" d="M30 0 l35 0 l0 120 l-35 0" fill="none" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke="black" stroke-width="1"></path> <use id="left-body" href="#right-body" transform="scale(-1,1)"></use> <use id="left-sleeve" href="#right-sleeve" transform="scale(-1,1)"></use> <path id="collar-right-top" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="1" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M0 -6.5 l11.75 0 l6.5 6.5"></path> <use id="collar-left-top" href="#collar-right-top" transform="scale(-1,1)"></use> <path id="collar-left" fill="white" stroke="black" stroke-width="1" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M-11.75 -6.5 l-6.5 6.5 l30 77 l6.5 -6.5 Z"></path> <path id="front-right" fill="white" stroke="black" stroke-width="1" d="M18.25 0 L30 0 l0 154 l-41.75 0 l0 -77 Z"></path> <line x1="0" y1="0" x2="0" y2="154" stroke="black" stroke-width="1" stroke-dasharray="1 3"></line> <use id="collar-right" href="#collar-left" transform="scale(-1,1)"></use> </g> <g id="dimension-labels"> <g id="dimension-sleeve-length"> <line marker-start="url(#arrow)" marker-end="url(#arrow)" x1="85" y1="0" x2="85" y2="120" stroke="black" stroke-width="1"></line> <text font-size="10" filter="url(#solid)" fill="black" x="85" y="60" class="dimension" text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="middle"> 120 cm</text> </g> <g id="dimension-length"> <line marker-start="url(#arrow)" marker-end="url(#arrow)" x1="-85" y1="0" x2="-85" y2="154" stroke="black" stroke-width="1"></line> <text font-size="10" filter="url(#solid)" fill="black" x="-85" y="77" text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="middle" class="dimension"> 154 cm</text> </g> <g id="dimension-sleeve-to-sleeve"> <line marker-start="url(#arrow)" marker-end="url(#arrow)" x1="-65" y1="-20" x2="65" y2="-20" stroke="black" stroke-width="1"></line> <text font-size="10" filter="url(#solid)" fill="black" x="0" y="-20" text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="middle" class="dimension"> 130 cm </text> </g> <g title="Back Width" id="dimension-back-width"> <line marker-start="url(#arrow)" marker-end="url(#arrow)" x1="-30" y1="174" x2="30" y2="174" stroke="black" stroke-width="1"></line> <text font-size="10" filter="url(#solid)" fill="black" x="0" y="174" text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="middle" class="dimension"> 60 cm </text> </g> </g> </svg>
An obvious workaround to the problem of the blur produced by the filter effect is to render the <text> two times: once for the background (with transparent characters) and once for the characters (without a background filter). For me, this was the only way to make the text readable in Safari. <svg width="100%" height="100%"> <filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="solid"> <feFlood flood-color="yellow" /> </filter> <g transform="translate(20, 50)" font-size="50"> <text aria-hidden="true" fill="none" filter="url(#solid)">solid background</text> <text fill="blue">solid background</text> </g> </svg> The aria-hidden="true" attribute is there to prevent screen readers from speaking the text twice, if the user uses a screen reader.
You can add style to your text: style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); text-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) -2px -2px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) -2px 2px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 2px -2px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 2px 2px 0px;" White, in this example. Does not work in IE :)
Add shadow on a svg <path>
I'm trying to put a modern shadow on a particular part of a svg.
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 162 63.25">
<g style="isolation:isolate">
<g>
<g>
<path d="M149.376,39.75l-49,23.5v-47Z" fill="#811818"/>
<path d="M149.376,39.75H6.688L30.279,22.274,6.624,4.75H149.376Z" fill="#b51c1c"/>
</g>
</g>
</g>
</svg>
I tried using the filter but the edge are visible and it's too blury:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 162 63.25">
<g style="isolation:isolate">
<g>
<g>
<filter id="dropshadow" x="-2" y="-2" width="200" height="200">
<feGaussianBlur stdDeviation="1"/>
</filter>
<path d="M149.376,39.75l-49,23.5v-47Z" fill="#811818"/>
<path style="stroke: rgba(0,0,0,0.19); stroke-width: 0.2; filter: url('#dropshadow');" d="M149.376,39.75H6.688L30.279,22.274,6.624,4.75H149.376Z" fill="#b51c1c"/>
</g>
</g>
</g>
</svg>
I'm expecting to use some modern css shadow like (https://codepen.io/sdthornton/pen/wBZdXq) and don't crop the original svg. I also expect to use less shadow on the top of it
I believe this is what you want, you can just change the values in the filter to fit your needs. in plain simple words, not to completact thing: feOffset: x, y to move the blur shadow effect back and forth. filter: height to move it up and down <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 169 67.25"> <g style="isolation:isolate"> <g> <g> <defs> <filter id="dropshadow" height="122%"> <feGaussianBlur in="SourceAlpha" stdDeviation="1" /> <feOffset in="blur" dx="0.7" dy="0.7" result="offsetBlur"/> <feOffset dx="1" dy="1" result="offsetblur" /> <feFlood flood-color="#3D4574" flood-opacity="0.3" result="offsetColor"/> <feComposite in="offsetColor" in2="offsetBlur" operator="in" result="offsetBlur"/> </filter> </defs> <use xlink:href="#path1" filter="url(#dropshadow)"></use> <path id="path1" d="M149.376,39.75l-49,23.5v-47Z" fill="#811818"/> <use xlink:href="#path2" filter="url(#dropshadow)"></use> <path id="path2" style="stroke: rgba(0,0,0,0.19); stroke-width: 0.2;" d="M149.376,39.75H6.688L30.279,22.274,6.624,4.75H149.376Z" fill="#b51c1c"/> </g> </g> </g> </svg>
Instead of using custom svg filter you can achieve easily the expected result using the standard CSS drop-shadow filter ie: filter: drop-shadow(0 0 2px rgba(0,0,0,.5)); <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 162 63.25"> <g style="isolation:isolate"> <path d="M149.376,39.75l-49,23.5v-47Z" fill="#811818"/> <path style="stroke: rgba(0,0,0,0.19); stroke-width: 0.2; filter: drop-shadow(0 0 2px rgba(0,0,0,.5));" d="M149.376,39.75H6.688L30.279,22.274,6.624,4.75H149.376Z" fill="#b51c1c"/> </g> </svg>
animation property on svg element doesn't work on edge 15
please see below the svg.
the animation css property works on chrome 58.
the same animation property doesn't work on edge 15.15.
what is the correct way to animate an svg element using edge?
this is the style tag i have inserted on the svg.
<style>
.car-container {
transform-origin: 606px 600px;
animation: rotate-right 6s linear 0s infinite;
}
#keyframes rotate-right {
from {
transform: rotate(0deg);
}
to {
transform: rotate(360deg);
}
}
</style>
please see the whole svg attached in the snippet.

I was interested in studying the issue you were having, and found this article. https://css-tricks.com/svg-animation-on-css-transforms/ Even though it's now fairly clear to me that you're not using SMIL, here was my previous response (which is still good to have on-hand, in case it's needed): I don't have tons of experience with what you're asking, however, "Can I use..." is our friend. If you're referring to SMIL: http://caniuse.com/#search=svg%20animation According to their notes, this is not planned for Edge and will eventually be dropped by Chrome. Also, here is an interesting page that may help you - listing alternative, cross-compatible methods of animating SVGs. https://css-tricks.com/smil-is-dead-long-live-smil-a-guide-to-alternatives-to-smil-features/
I was using animation on transform css attribute. edge does not currently support transforms on svg.
Hovering over transparent SVGs
How do I get hover to work robustly with transparent SVG polygons?
In the code below, you'll see that the second triangle isn't readily recognizing :hover (and it fails completely when stroke attribute is deleted or none'd). In the third triangle, hover starts to work with transparency, but only near the text.
<html><head><style>
body { background-color: Green }
polygon:hover {
fill:Red;
}
g:hover polygon {
fill:Red;
}
</style></head><body>
<svg width="300px" height="600px" viewBox="0 0 100 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
<polygon fill="white" stroke="black" stroke-width="0.5px" points="0,0 100,0 100,100 0,0" />
<polygon fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="0.5px" points="0,0 0,100 100,100 0,0" />
<g>
<polygon fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="0.5px" points="0,100 100,100 100,200 0,100" />
<text x="50" y="150" font-family="Verdana" font-size="30">hi</text>
</g>
</svg>
</body></html>
I've confirmed this over Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Any ideas (that'll work across most browsers)?
For each element state the fill color as fill="red", and set 0 as the fill opacity fill-opacity="0". On hover change the fill-opacity to 1:
body {
background-color: Green
}
polygon:hover {
fill-opacity: 1;
}
g:hover polygon {
fill-opacity: 1;
}
<svg width="300px" height="600px" viewBox="0 0 100 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
<polygon fill="white" stroke="black" stroke-width="0.5px" points="0,0 100,0 100,100 0,0" />
<polygon fill="red" fill-opacity="0" stroke="black" stroke-width="0.5px" points="0,0 0,100 100,100 0,0" />
<g>
<polygon fill="red" fill-opacity="0" stroke="black" stroke-width="0.5px" points="0,100 100,100 100,200 0,100" />
<text x="50" y="150" font-family="Verdana" font-size="30">hi</text>
</g>
</svg>
Another approach is to use pointer-events="all".
With pointer-events you can control wich part of your shape reacts to pointer-events, independently of its fill or stroke.
circle:nth-of-type(1) {
pointer-events: fill
}
circle:nth-of-type(2) {
pointer-events: all
}
circle:nth-of-type(3) {
pointer-events: stroke
}
circle:nth-of-type(4) {
pointer-events: none
}
circle:hover {
fill: red;
stroke: blue
}
<svg width="300px" height="300px" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<circle cx="25" cy="25" r="20" fill="none" stroke="red" stroke-width="5" />
<circle cx="75" cy="25" r="20" fill="none" stroke="none" stroke-width="5" />
<circle cx="25" cy="75" r="20" fill="green" stroke="none" stroke-width="5" />
<circle cx="75" cy="75" r="20" fill="green" stroke="red" stroke-width="5" />

Background color of text in SVG
I want to color the background of svg text similar to background-color in css I was only able to find documentation on fill, which colors the text itself Is it even possible?
You could use a filter to generate the background. <svg width="100%" height="100%"> <defs> <filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="solid"> <feFlood flood-color="yellow" result="bg" /> <feMerge> <feMergeNode in="bg"/> <feMergeNode in="SourceGraphic"/> </feMerge> </filter> </defs> <text filter="url(#solid)" x="20" y="50" font-size="50">solid background</text> </svg>
No this is not possible, SVG elements do not have background-... presentation attributes.
To simulate this effect you could draw a rectangle behind the text attribute with fill="green" or something similar (filters). Using JavaScript you could do the following:
var ctx = document.getElementById("the-svg"),
textElm = ctx.getElementById("the-text"),
SVGRect = textElm.getBBox();
var rect = document.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", "rect");
rect.setAttribute("x", SVGRect.x);
rect.setAttribute("y", SVGRect.y);
rect.setAttribute("width", SVGRect.width);
rect.setAttribute("height", SVGRect.height);
rect.setAttribute("fill", "yellow");
ctx.insertBefore(rect, textElm);
The solution I have used is: <svg> <line x1="100" y1="100" x2="500" y2="100" style="stroke:black; stroke-width: 2"/> <text x="150" y="105" style="stroke:white; stroke-width:0.6em">Hello World!</text> <text x="150" y="105" style="fill:black">Hello World!</text> </svg> A duplicate text item is being placed, with stroke and stroke-width attributes. The stroke should match the background colour, and the stroke-width should be just big enough to create a "splodge" on which to write the actual text. A bit of a hack and there are potential issues, but works for me!
Instead of using a <text> tag, the <foreignObject> tag can be used, which allows for XHTML content with CSS.
No, you can not add background color to SVG elements. You can do it programmatically with d3.
var text = d3.select("text");
var bbox = text.node().getBBox();
var padding = 2;
var rect = self.svg.insert("rect", "text")
.attr("x", bbox.x - padding)
.attr("y", bbox.y - padding)
.attr("width", bbox.width + (padding*2))
.attr("height", bbox.height + (padding*2))
.style("fill", "red");
Answer by Robert Longson (#RobertLongson) with modifications: <svg width="100%" height="100%"> <defs> <filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="solid"> <feFlood flood-color="yellow"/> <feComposite in="SourceGraphic" operator="xor"/> </filter> </defs> <text filter="url(#solid)" x="20" y="50" font-size="50"> solid background </text> <text x="20" y="50" font-size="50">solid background</text> </svg> and we have no bluring and no heavy "getBBox" :) Padding is provided by white spaces in text-element with filter. It's worked for me
Going further with #dbarton_uk answer, to avoid duplicating text you can use paint-order=stroke style: <svg> <line x1="100" y1="100" x2="350" y2="100" style="stroke:grey; stroke-width: 100"/> <text x="150" y="105" style="stroke:white; stroke-width:0.5em; fill:black; paint-order:stroke; stroke-linejoin:round">Hello World!</text> </svg> Note the stroke-linejoin:round which is needed to avoid seeing spikes for the W sharp angle.
You can combine filter with the text. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset=utf-8 /> <title>SVG colored patterns via mask</title> </head> <body> <svg viewBox="0 0 300 300" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <defs> <filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="bg-text"> <feFlood flood-color="white"/> <feComposite in="SourceGraphic" operator="xor" /> </filter> </defs> <!-- something has already existed --> <rect fill="red" x="150" y="20" width="100" height="50" /> <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="50" fill="blue"/> <!-- Text render here --> <text filter="url(#bg-text)" fill="black" x="20" y="50" font-size="30">text with color</text> <text fill="black" x="20" y="50" font-size="30">text with color</text> </svg> </body> </html>
this is my favorite hack (not sure it should work). It refer an element that is not yet displayed, and it works pretty well <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 620 40" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet"> <defs> <filter x="-0.02" y="0" width="1.04" height="1.1" id="removebackground"> <feFlood flood-color="#00ffff"/> </filter> </defs> <!--Draw the text--> <use xlink:href="#mygroup" filter="url(#removebackground)" /> <g id="mygroup"> <text id="text1" x="9" y="20" style="text-anchor:start;font-size:14px;">custom text with background</text> <line x1="200" y1="18" x2="200" y2="36" stroke="#000" stroke-width="5"/> <line x1="120" y1="27" x2="203" y2="27" stroke="#000" stroke-width="5"/> </g> </svg>
For those wondering how to apply padding to a text element when it has a background like in the Robert's answer, do the following: <svg> <defs> <filter x="-0.1" y="-0.1" width="1.2" height="1.2" id="solid"> <feFlood flood-color="#171717"/> <feComposite in="SourceGraphic" operator="xor" /> </filter> </defs> <text filter="url(#solid)" x="20" y="50" font-size="50">Hello</text> </svg> In the example above, filter's x and y positions can be used as transform: translate(-10%, -10%) would, and width and height values can be read as 120% and 120%. So we made background 20% bigger, and offsetted it -10%, so background is now 10% bigger on each side of the text.
The previous answers relied on doubling up text and lacked sufficient whitespace. By using atop and I was able to get the results I wanted. This example also includes arrows, a common use case for SVG text labels: <svg viewBox="-105 -40 210 234"> <title>Size Guide</title> <defs> <filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="solid"> <feFlood flood-color="white"></feFlood> <feComposite in="SourceGraphic" operator="atop"></feComposite> </filter> <marker id="arrow" viewBox="0 0 10 10" refX="5" refY="5" markerWidth="6" markerHeight="6" orient="auto-start-reverse"> <path d="M 0 0 L 10 5 L 0 10 z"></path> </marker> </defs> <g id="garment"> <path id="right-body" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="1" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M0 0 l30 0 l0 154 l-30 0"></path> <path id="right-sleeve" d="M30 0 l35 0 l0 120 l-35 0" fill="none" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke="black" stroke-width="1"></path> <use id="left-body" href="#right-body" transform="scale(-1,1)"></use> <use id="left-sleeve" href="#right-sleeve" transform="scale(-1,1)"></use> <path id="collar-right-top" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="1" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M0 -6.5 l11.75 0 l6.5 6.5"></path> <use id="collar-left-top" href="#collar-right-top" transform="scale(-1,1)"></use> <path id="collar-left" fill="white" stroke="black" stroke-width="1" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M-11.75 -6.5 l-6.5 6.5 l30 77 l6.5 -6.5 Z"></path> <path id="front-right" fill="white" stroke="black" stroke-width="1" d="M18.25 0 L30 0 l0 154 l-41.75 0 l0 -77 Z"></path> <line x1="0" y1="0" x2="0" y2="154" stroke="black" stroke-width="1" stroke-dasharray="1 3"></line> <use id="collar-right" href="#collar-left" transform="scale(-1,1)"></use> </g> <g id="dimension-labels"> <g id="dimension-sleeve-length"> <line marker-start="url(#arrow)" marker-end="url(#arrow)" x1="85" y1="0" x2="85" y2="120" stroke="black" stroke-width="1"></line> <text font-size="10" filter="url(#solid)" fill="black" x="85" y="60" class="dimension" text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="middle"> 120 cm</text> </g> <g id="dimension-length"> <line marker-start="url(#arrow)" marker-end="url(#arrow)" x1="-85" y1="0" x2="-85" y2="154" stroke="black" stroke-width="1"></line> <text font-size="10" filter="url(#solid)" fill="black" x="-85" y="77" text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="middle" class="dimension"> 154 cm</text> </g> <g id="dimension-sleeve-to-sleeve"> <line marker-start="url(#arrow)" marker-end="url(#arrow)" x1="-65" y1="-20" x2="65" y2="-20" stroke="black" stroke-width="1"></line> <text font-size="10" filter="url(#solid)" fill="black" x="0" y="-20" text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="middle" class="dimension"> 130 cm </text> </g> <g title="Back Width" id="dimension-back-width"> <line marker-start="url(#arrow)" marker-end="url(#arrow)" x1="-30" y1="174" x2="30" y2="174" stroke="black" stroke-width="1"></line> <text font-size="10" filter="url(#solid)" fill="black" x="0" y="174" text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="middle" class="dimension"> 60 cm </text> </g> </g> </svg>
An obvious workaround to the problem of the blur produced by the filter effect is to render the <text> two times: once for the background (with transparent characters) and once for the characters (without a background filter). For me, this was the only way to make the text readable in Safari. <svg width="100%" height="100%"> <filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="solid"> <feFlood flood-color="yellow" /> </filter> <g transform="translate(20, 50)" font-size="50"> <text aria-hidden="true" fill="none" filter="url(#solid)">solid background</text> <text fill="blue">solid background</text> </g> </svg> The aria-hidden="true" attribute is there to prevent screen readers from speaking the text twice, if the user uses a screen reader.
You can add style to your text: style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); text-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) -2px -2px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) -2px 2px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 2px -2px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 2px 2px 0px;" White, in this example. Does not work in IE :)
