I have an svg with viewBox="0 0 100 100" preserveAspectRatio="none" since I need to draw some elements with reference to percentages.
If I now draw a <circle cx="30" cy="50" r="0.5" stroke="white"/> though it becomes stretched/distorted as well.
Is there a way to tell the circle element to preserve its own aspect ratio?
If all you need is a circle you can use a very short, very wide line like in the following example.
This will work because
stroke-linecap="round" will give the illusion of a circle and because
strokes can take a vector-effect="non-scaling-stroke".
non-scaling-stroke
This value modifies the way an object is stroked. Normally stroking involves calculating stroke outline of the shape's path in current user coordinate system and filling that outline with the stroke paint (color or gradient). The resulting visual effect of this value is that the stroke width is not dependent on the transformations of the element (including non-uniform scaling and shear transformations) and zoom level.
div {
width: 300px;
height: 50px;
background-color: lime;
}
svg {
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
<div>
<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" preserveAspectRatio="none">
<!--<circle cx="30" cy="50" r="20"></circle>-->
<line x1="30" y1="50" x2="30.1" y2="50" stroke-width="40" stroke="black" stroke-linecap="round" vector-effect="non-scaling-stroke" />
</svg>
</div>
If you need a white stroke too you can add a white line behind the black one with a bigger stroke width
div {
width: 300px;
height: 50px;
background-color: lime;
}
svg {
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
<div>
<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" preserveAspectRatio="none">
<line x1="30" y1="50" x2="30.1" y2="50" stroke-width="45" stroke="white" stroke-linecap="round" vector-effect="non-scaling-stroke" />
<line x1="30" y1="50" x2="30.1" y2="50" stroke-width="40" stroke="black" stroke-linecap="round" vector-effect="non-scaling-stroke" />
</svg>
</div>
The initial SVG figure with pattern:
<svg width="200" height="200" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<defs>
<pattern id="img-dotted-dots" x="0" y="0" height=".08" width="7.69%">
<circle cx="2" cy="2" fill="white" r="0.8"></circle>
</pattern>
<mask id="img-dotted-mask">
<rect width="100" height="100" fill="url(#img-dotted-dots)"></rect>
</mask>
</defs>
<path d="M0 0 H 100 V 100 H 0 Z" mask="url(#img-dotted-mask)" fill="#1063B1"></path>
</svg>
Need to achieve:
One instance of the SVG figure with pattern for refferencing with CSS as clip-path.
I have tried to create SVG clipPath element and bind to CSS clip-path by this way
.figure {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
clip-path: url(#img-dotted-clip-path);
background-color: #1063B1;
}
<div class="figure"></div>
<svg width="0" height="0" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<defs>
<clipPath
clipPathUnits="objectBoundingBox"
id="img-dotted-clip-path">
<pattern
patternUnits="objectBoundingBox"
patternContentUnits="objectBoundingBox"
x="0" y="0" height="0.1" width="0.1">
<circle cx="0" cy="0" fill="white" r="0.5"></circle>
</pattern>
</clipPath>
</defs>
</svg>
Nothing happens.
Expected result - the same as the previous snippet.
For comparing:
If I use SVG rect - CSS clip-path works.
If pattern - doesn't
.figure {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
clip-path: url(#img-dotted-clip-path);
background-color: #1063B1;
}
<div class="figure"></div>
<svg width="0" height="0" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<defs>
<clipPath
clipPathUnits="objectBoundingBox"
id="img-dotted-clip-path">
<rect width="1" height="1"></rect>
</clipPath>
</defs>
</svg>
The only things that are valid inside a clip path are:
Shape elements (‘circle’, ‘ellipse’, ‘line’, ‘path’, ‘polygon’, ‘polyline’, ‘rect’)
‘text’
‘use’
Plus you can use animation elements etc to animate the clip path. However, only the shapes of those elements are used. Effects such as patterns, filters, etc are ignored.
The only way you could get the effect you want to work as a clipping path would be to add numerous <circle> elements to your <clipPath>.
<clipPath>
<circle>
<circle>
<circle>
<circle>
... etc ...
</clipPath>
But you could use a mask instead. Masks allow patterns.
.figure {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
-webkit-mask: url(#img-dotted-mask);
mask: url(#img-dotted-mask);
background-color: #1063B1;
}
<p>This only works in Firefox</p>
<div class="figure"></div>
<svg width="0" height="0">
<defs>
<pattern id="img-dotted-pattern"
viewBox="0 0 1 1"
patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" x="0" y="0" width="20" height="20">
<rect width="1" height="1" fill="black"/>
<circle cx="0.5" cy="0.5" fill="white" r="0.15"></circle>
</pattern>
<mask id="img-dotted-mask">
<rect width="2000" height="2000" fill="url(#img-dotted-pattern)"/>
</mask>
</defs>
</svg>
However inline SVG masks applied to HTML elements, like my example above, only work in Firefox. To get an SVG mask to work in Chrome, you would need to use mask or mask-image with an external or Data URL (as Temani has done in their answer).
You can recreate the same thing using mask combined with radial-gradient
.figure {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
background:linear-gradient(to right,red,#1063B1);
/*radius here size here*/
-webkit-mask:radial-gradient(3px, #fff 97%,transparent 100%) 0 0/20px 20px;
mask:radial-gradient(3px, #fff 97%,transparent 100%) 0 0/20px 20px;
}
body {
background:#f2f2f2;
}
<div class="figure"></div>
Or consider the SVG inside the mask property. Make sure to escape the # and correctly set the viewbox and width/height to have a perfect repeat
.figure {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
background:linear-gradient(to right,red,#1063B1);
-webkit-mask:url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" width="200" height="192" viewBox="0 0 100 90"><defs><pattern id="img-dotted-dots" x="0" y="0" height=".08" width="7.69%"><circle cx="2" cy="2" fill="white" r="0.8"></circle></pattern><mask id="img-dotted-mask"><rect width="100" height="100" fill="url(%23img-dotted-dots)"></rect></mask></defs><path d="M0 0 H 100 V 100 H 0 Z" mask="url(%23img-dotted-mask)" fill="%231063B1"></path></svg>');

}
body {
background:#f2f2f2;
}
<div class="figure"></div>
I have created the below CSS Clip path with SVG. I would like to know that how to make it some unique shapes rather than the normal hexagonal mask? Also i would like to give border radius to the edges. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

You will need to calculate the d attribute for a path - your polygon with rounded corners. In this case I'm using quadratic Béziers for the rounded corners. I hope it helps.

This is a tool you may use to calculate the d attribute for the path using the points attribute of the polygon: https://enxaneta.github.io/SVG_polygon_with_rounded_corners/
Hi, I was wondering how one would go about animating an svg arrow like above (on hover).
I have tried playing around with CSS transforms, but they also scale the arrow-head which is no good. I assume the correct way to do this is using SVGs animations, but I don't know where to start.
For example I would the following arrow (line only) to grow and arrow head to move accordingly.
<svg width="600px" height="100px">
<defs>
<marker id="arrow" markerWidth="10" markerHeight="10" refX="0" refY="3" orient="auto" markerUnits="strokeWidth">
<path d="M0,0 L0,6 L9,3 z" fill="#f00" />
</marker>
</defs>
<line x1="50" y1="50" x2="100" y2="50" stroke="#000" stroke-width="5" marker-end="url(#arrow)" />
</svg>
Any help is very much appreciated!
You can create growing arrow by using "respoinsive" SVG like this.
svg{
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
transition:width 2s ease;
overflow: visible;
}
svg:hover{
width: 100px;
}
<svg>
<defs>
<marker id="m" markerWidth="4" markerHeight="8"
refX="0" refY="1" viewBox="0 0 1 2">
<polygon points="0,0 1,1 0,2" fill="black"/>
</marker>
</defs>
<line x1="0" y1="50%" x2="100%" y2="50%"
stroke-width="2" marker-end="url(#m)" stroke="black"/>
</svg>
There are some points to implement.
svg has no viewBox (so it is "responsive" SVG).
Line of arrow is defined by relative position of (root) svg size.
Arrow head is defined by marker element.
Growing animation is defined by CSS transition which animate width of svg. So, arrow grows with svg size.
In order to animate the individual SVG elements like HTML elements, you'll need to embed the SVG directly into the page like this:
<svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"

After doing this, you can use CSS animations on any of the individual SVG elements, just like HTML elements. For example, you could do the following:
svg ellipse { animate: grow 3s infinite; }
Without having the exact SVG code for your arrow, I can't give you more specific direction than that, but can point you in the direction of this article: https://css-tricks.com/using-svg/
I want to create a CSS class to fill a path with image that can be applied on any SVG path and fill that path with image. The image must be stretch to fit that path.
To achieve this; I create a pattern with image tag and set the width and height as 100%. but the image takes 100% of the whole screen instead of objectBoundingBox of the container (in this case svg tag).
Below is the sample code:
.myClass {
fill: url(#image);
stroke: red;
stroke-width: 5;
}
<svg id='pattern' xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
<defs>
<pattern id='image' x=0 y=0 width="100%" height="100%" patternUnits='objectBoundingBox'>
<image xlink:href='myImage.png' x=0 y=0 width="100%" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="none"></image>
</pattern>
</defs>
</svg>
<svg id='triangle' xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" width='300px' height='300px'>
<path d='M0 0 L300 0 L300 300 Z' class='myClass'></path>
</svg>
May be I am doing something wrong.
Please suggest any solution for this problem.
Here's your thing working - http://jsfiddle.net/eAfTc/
.myClass {
fill: url(#image);
stroke: red;
stroke-width: 5;
}
<svg id='pattern' xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
<defs>
<pattern id='image' width="1" height="1" viewBox="0 0 100 100" preserveAspectRatio="none">
<image xlink:href='http://dummyimage.com/600x400/abc/333' width="100" height="100" preserveAspectRatio="none"></image>
</pattern>
</defs>
</svg>
<svg id='triangle' xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" width='300px' height='300px'>
<path d='M0 0 L300 0 L300 300 Z' class='myClass'></path>
</svg>
Note that there's a patternContentUnits and a patternUnits, they do different things. Personally I prefer to use a viewBox for defining the coordinate system.
Here's a new example showing the pattern applied to various elements of different sizes and aspect ratios, it also gets rid of the first svg fragment.
Update: I added 'preserveAspectRatio' to the <pattern> element, and a new example showing the stretching and scaling.
