-``` - -This will generate the following output: - -```html -
- - - -
-``` - -By default the svg drawing follows the dimensions of its parent, in this case `#drawing`: - -```javascript -var draw = SVG('drawing').size('100%', '100%') -``` - -### Checking for SVG support - -By default this library assumes the client's browser supports SVG. You can test support as follows: - -```javascript -if (SVG.supported) { - var draw = SVG('drawing') - var rect = draw.rect(100, 100) -} else { - alert('SVG not supported') -} -``` - - -### SVG document -Svg.js also works outside of the HTML DOM, inside an SVG document for example: - -```xml - - - - - -``` - -### Sub-pixel offset fix -Call the `spof()` method to fix sub-pixel offset: - -```javascript -var draw = SVG('drawing').spof() -``` - -To enable automatic sub-pixel offset correction when the window is resized: - -```javascript -SVG.on(window, 'resize', function() { draw.spof() }) -``` - -## Parent elements - -### Main svg document -The main SVG.js initializer function creates a root svg node in the given element and returns an instance of `SVG.Doc`: - -```javascript -var draw = SVG('drawing') -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Doc`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Doc` < `SVG.Container` < `SVG.Parent`_ - -### Nested svg -With this feature you can nest svg documents within each other. Nested svg documents have exactly the same features as the main, top-level svg document: - -```javascript -var nested = draw.nested() - -var rect = nested.rect(200, 200) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Nested`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Nested` < `SVG.Container` < `SVG.Parent`_ - -### Groups -Grouping elements is useful if you want to transform a set of elements as if it were one. All element within a group maintain their position relative to the group they belong to. A group has all the same element methods as the root svg document: - -```javascript -var group = draw.group() -group.path('M10,20L30,40') -``` - -Existing elements from the svg document can also be added to a group: - -```javascript -group.add(rect) -``` - -__Note:__ Groups do not have a geometry of their own, it's inherited from their content. Therefore groups do not listen to `x`, `y`, `width` and `height` attributes. If that is what you are looking for, use a `nested()` svg instead. - -__`returns`: `SVG.G`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.G` < `SVG.Container` < `SVG.Parent`_ - -### Hyperlink -A hyperlink or `` tag creates a container that enables a link on all children: - -```javascript -var link = draw.link('http://svgjs.com') -var rect = link.rect(100, 100) -``` - -The link url can be updated with the `to()` method: - -```javascript -link.to('http://apple.com') -``` - -Furthermore, the link element has a `show()` method to create the `xlink:show` attribute: - -```javascript -link.show('replace') -``` - -And the `target()` method to create the `target` attribute: - -```javascript -link.target('_blank') -``` - -Elements can also be linked the other way around with the `linkTo()` method: - -```javascript -rect.linkTo('http://svgjs.com') -``` - -Alternatively a block can be passed instead of a url for more options on the link element: - -```javascript -rect.linkTo(function(link) { - link.to('http://svgjs.com').target('_blank') -}) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.A`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.A` < `SVG.Container` < `SVG.Parent`_ - -### Defs -The `` element is a container element for referenced elements. Elements that are descendants of a ‘defs’ are not rendered directly. The `` node lives in the main `` document and can be accessed with the `defs()` method: - -```javascript -var defs = draw.defs() -``` - -The defs are also available on any other element through the `doc()` method: - -```javascript -var defs = rect.doc().defs() -``` - -The defs node works exactly the same as groups. - -__`returns`: `SVG.Defs`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Defs` < `SVG.Container` < `SVG.Parent`_ - -## Rect -Rects have two arguments, their `width` and `height`: - -```javascript -var rect = draw.rect(100, 100) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Rect`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Rect` < `SVG.Shape` < `SVG.Element`_ - -### radius() -Rects can also have rounded corners: - -```javascript -rect.radius(10) -``` - -This will set the `rx` and `ry` attributes to `10`. To set `rx` and `ry` individually: - -```javascript -rect.radius(10, 20) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -## Circle -The only argument necessary for a circle is the diameter: - -```javascript -var circle = draw.circle(100) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Circle`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Circle` < `SVG.Shape` < `SVG.Element`_ - -### radius() -Circles can also be redefined by their radius: - -```javascript -circle.radius(75) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -## Ellipse -Ellipses, like rects, have two arguments, their `width` and `height`: - -```javascript -var ellipse = draw.ellipse(200, 100) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Ellipse`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Ellipse` < `SVG.Shape` < `SVG.Element`_ - -### radius() -Ellipses can also be redefined by their radii: - -```javascript -ellipse.radius(75, 50) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -## Line -Create a line from point A to point B: - -```javascript -var line = draw.line(0, 0, 100, 150).stroke({ width: 1 }) -``` - -Creating a line element can be done in four ways. Look at the `plot()` method to see all the possiblilities. - -__`returns`: `SVG.Line`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Line` < `SVG.Shape` < `SVG.Element`_ - -### plot() -Updating a line is done with the `plot()` method: - -```javascript -line.plot(50, 30, 100, 150) -``` - -Alternatively it also accepts a point string: - -```javascript -line.plot('0,0 100,150') -``` - -Or a point array: - -```javascript -line.plot([[0, 0], [100, 150]]) -``` - -Or an instance of `SVG.PointArray`: - -```javascript -var array = new SVG.PointArray([[0, 0], [100, 150]]) -line.plot(array) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### array() -References the `SVG.PointArray` instance. This method is rather intended for internal use: - -```javascript -polyline.array() -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.PointArray`__ - - -## Polyline -The polyline element defines a set of connected straight line segments. Typically, polyline elements define open shapes: - -```javascript -// polyline('x,y x,y x,y') -var polyline = draw.polyline('0,0 100,50 50,100').fill('none').stroke({ width: 1 }) -``` - -Polyline strings consist of a list of points separated by spaces: `x,y x,y x,y`. - -As an alternative an array of points will work as well: - -```javascript -// polyline([[x,y], [x,y], [x,y]]) -var polyline = draw.polyline([[0,0], [100,50], [50,100]]).fill('none').stroke({ width: 1 }) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Polyline`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Polyline` < `SVG.Shape` < `SVG.Element`_ - -### plot() -Polylines can be updated using the `plot()` method: - -```javascript -polyline.plot([[0,0], [100,50], [50,100], [150,50], [200,50]]) -``` - -The `plot()` method can also be animated: - -```javascript -polyline.animate(3000).plot([[0,0], [100,50], [50,100], [150,50], [200,50], [250,100], [300,50], [350,50]]) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### array() -References the `SVG.PointArray` instance. This method is rather intended for internal use: - -```javascript -polyline.array() -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.PointArray`__ - -## Polygon -The polygon element, unlike the polyline element, defines a closed shape consisting of a set of connected straight line segments: - -```javascript -// polygon('x,y x,y x,y') -var polygon = draw.polygon('0,0 100,50 50,100').fill('none').stroke({ width: 1 }) -``` - -Polygon strings are exactly the same as polyline strings. There is no need to close the shape as the first and last point will be connected automatically. - -__`returns`: `SVG.Polygon`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Polygon` < `SVG.Shape` < `SVG.Element`_ - -### plot() -Like polylines, polygons can be updated using the `plot()` method: - -```javascript -polygon.plot([[0,0], [100,50], [50,100], [150,50], [200,50]]) -``` - -The `plot()` method can also be animated: - -```javascript -polygon.animate(3000).plot([[0,0], [100,50], [50,100], [150,50], [200,50], [250,100], [300,50], [350,50]]) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### array() -References the `SVG.PointArray` instance. This method is rather intended for internal use: - -```javascript -polygon.array() -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.PointArray`__ - -## Path -The path string is similar to the polygon string but much more complex in order to support curves: - -```javascript -draw.path('M 100 200 C 200 100 300 0 400 100 C 500 200 600 300 700 200 C 800 100 900 100 900 100') -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Path`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Path` < `SVG.Shape` < `SVG.Element`_ - -For more details on path data strings, please refer to the SVG documentation: -http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathData - -### plot() -Paths can be updated using the `plot()` method: - -```javascript -path.plot('M100,200L300,400') -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### array() -References the `SVG.PathArray` instance. This method is rather intended for internal use: - -```javascript -path.array() -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.PathArray`__ - -## Image -Creating images is as you might expect: - -```javascript -var image = draw.image('/path/to/image.jpg') -``` - -If you know the size of the image, those parameters can be passed as the second and third arguments: - -```javascript -var image = draw.image('/path/to/image.jpg', 200, 300) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Image`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Image` < `SVG.Shape` < `SVG.Element`_ - -### load() -Loading another image can be done with the `load()` method: - -```javascript -image.load('/path/to/another/image.jpg') -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### loaded() -If you don't know the size of the image, obviously you will have to wait for the image to be `loaded`: - -```javascript -var image = draw.image('/path/to/image.jpg').loaded(function(loader) { - this.size(loader.width, loader.height) -}) -``` - -The returned `loader` object as first the argument of the loaded method contains four values: -- `width` -- `height` -- `ratio` (width / height) -- `url` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - - -## Text -Unlike html, text in svg is much harder to tame. There is no way to create flowing text, so newlines should be entered manually. In SVG.js there are two ways to create text elements. - -The first and easiest method is to provide a string of text, split by newlines: - -```javascript -var text = draw.text("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur.\nCras sodales imperdiet auctor.") -``` - -This will automatically create a block of text and insert newlines where necessary. - -The second method will give you much more control but requires a bit more code: - -```javascript -var text = draw.text(function(add) { - add.tspan('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ').newLine() - add.tspan('consectetur').fill('#f06') - add.tspan('.') - add.tspan('Cras sodales imperdiet auctor.').newLine().dx(20) - add.tspan('Nunc ultrices lectus at erat').newLine() - add.tspan('dictum pharetra elementum ante').newLine() -}) -``` - -If you want to go the other way and don't want to add tspans at all, just one line of text, you can use the `plain()` method instead: - -```javascript -var text = draw.plain('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur.') -``` - -This is a shortcut to the `plain` method on the `SVG.Text` instance which doesn't render newlines at all. - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Text` < `SVG.Shape` < `SVG.Element`_ - -__`returns`: `SVG.Text`__ - -### text() -Changing text afterwards is also possible with the `text()` method: - -```javascript -text.text('Brilliant!') -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -To get the raw text content: - -```javascript -text.text() -``` - -__`returns`: `string`__ - -### tspan() -Just adding one tspan is also possible: - -```javascript -text.tspan(' on a train...').fill('#f06') -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Tspan`__ - -### plain() -If the content of the element doesn't need any stying or multiple lines, it might be sufficient to just add some plain text: - -```javascript -text.plain('I do not have any expectations.') -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### font() -The sugar.js module provides some syntax sugar specifically for this element type: - -```javascript -text.font({ - family: 'Helvetica' -, size: 144 -, anchor: 'middle' -, leading: '1.5em' -}) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### leading() -As opposed to html, where leading is defined by `line-height`, svg does not have a natural leading equivalent. In svg, lines are not defined naturally. They are defined by `` nodes with a `dy` attribute defining the line height and a `x` value resetting the line to the `x` position of the parent text element. But you can also have many nodes in one line defining a different `y`, `dy`, `x` or even `dx` value. This gives us a lot of freedom, but also a lot more responsibility. We have to decide when a new line is defined, where it starts, what its offset is and what it's height is. The `leading()` method in SVG.js tries to ease the pain by giving you behaviour that is much closer to html. In combination with newline separated text, it works just like html: - -```javascript -var text = draw.text("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur.\nCras sodales imperdiet auctor.") -text.leading(1.3) -``` - -This will render a text element with a tspan element for each line, with a `dy` value of `130%` of the font size. - -Note that the `leading()` method assumes that every first level tspan in a text node represents a new line. Using `leading()` on text elements containing multiple tspans in one line (e.g. without a wrapping tspan defining a new line) will render scrambeled. So it is advisable to use this method with care, preferably only when throwing newline separated text at the text element or calling the `newLine()` method on every first level tspan added in the block passed as argument to the text element. - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### build() -The `build()` can be used to enable / disable build mode. With build mode disabled, the `plain()` and `tspan()` methods will first call the `clear()` bethod before adding the new content. So when build mode is enabled, `plain()` and `tspan()` will append the new content to the existing content. When passing a block to the `text()` method, build mode is toggled automatically before and after the block is called. But in some cases it might be useful to be able to toggle it manually: - - -```javascript -var text = draw.text('This is just the start, ') - -text.build(true) // enables build mode - -var tspan = text.tspan('something pink in the middle ').fill('#00ff97') -text.plain('and again boring at the end.') - -text.build(false) // disables build mode - -tspan.animate('2s').fill('#f06') -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### rebuild() -This is an internal callback that probably never needs to be called manually. Basically it rebuilds the text element whenerver `font-size` and `x` attributes or the `leading()` of the text element are modified. This method also acts a setter to enable or disable rebuilding: - -```javascript -text.rebuild(false) //-> disables rebuilding -text.rebuild(true) //-> enables rebuilding and instantaneously rebuilds the text element -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### clear() -Clear all the contents of the called text element: - -```javascript -text.clear() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### length() -Gets the total computed text length of all tspans together: - -```javascript -text.length() -``` - -__`returns`: `number`__ - - -### lines() -All first level tspans can be referenced with the `lines()` method: - -```javascript -text.lines() -``` - -This will return an intance of `SVG.Set` including all `tspan` elements. - -__`returns`: `SVG.Set`__ - -### events -The text element has one event. It is fired every time the `rebuild()` method is called: - -```javascript -text.on('rebuild', function() { - // whatever you need to do after rebuilding -}) -``` - -## Tspan -The tspan elements are only available inside text elements or inside other tspan elements. In SVG.js they have a class of their own: - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Tspan` < `SVG.Shape` < `SVG.Element`_ - -### text() -Update the content of the tspan. This can be done by either passing a string: - - -```javascript -tspan.text('Just a string.') -``` - -Which will basicly call the `plain()` method. - -Or by passing a block to add more specific content inside the called tspan: - -```javascript -tspan.text(function(add) { - add.plain('Just plain text.') - add.tspan('Fancy text wrapped in a tspan.').fill('#f06') - add.tspan(function(addMore) { - addMore.tspan('And you can doo deeper and deeper...') - }) -}) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### tspan() -Add a nested tspan: - -```javascript -tspan.tspan('I am a child of my parent').fill('#f06') -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Tspan`__ - -### plain() -Just adds some plain text: - -```javascript -tspan.plain('I do not have any expectations.') -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### dx() -Define the dynamic `x` value of the element, much like a html element with `position:relative` and `left` defined: - -```javascript -tspan.dx(30) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### dy() -Define the dynamic `y` value of the element, much like a html element with `position:relative` and `top` defined: - -```javascript -tspan.dy(30) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### newLine() -The `newLine()` is a convenience method for adding a new line with a `dy` attribute using the current "leading": - -```javascript -var text = draw.text(function(add) { - add.tspan('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ').newLine() - add.tspan('consectetur').fill('#f06') - add.tspan('.') - add.tspan('Cras sodales imperdiet auctor.').newLine().dx(20) - add.tspan('Nunc ultrices lectus at erat').newLine() - add.tspan('dictum pharetra elementum ante').newLine() -}) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### clear() -Clear all the contents of the called tspan element: - -```javascript -tspan.clear() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### length() -Gets the total computed text length: - -```javascript -tspan.length() -``` - -__`returns`: `number`__ - -## TextPath -A nice feature in svg is the ability to run text along a path: - -```javascript -var text = draw.text(function(add) { - add.tspan('We go ') - add.tspan('up').fill('#f09').dy(-40) - add.tspan(', then we go down, then up again').dy(40) -}) -text - .path('M 100 200 C 200 100 300 0 400 100 C 500 200 600 300 700 200 C 800 100 900 100 900 100') - .font({ size: 42.5, family: 'Verdana' }) -``` - -When calling the `path()` method on a text element, the text element is mutated into an intermediate between a text and a path element. From that point on the text element will also feature a `plot()` method to update the path: - -```javascript -text.plot('M 300 500 C 200 100 300 0 400 100 C 500 200 600 300 700 200 C 800 100 900 100 900 100') -``` - -Attributes specific to the `` element can be applied to the textPath instance itself: - -```javascript -text.textPath().attr('startOffset', 0.5) -``` - -And they can be animated as well of course: - -```javascript -text.textPath().animate(3000).attr('startOffset', 0.8) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.TextPath`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.TextPath` < `SVG.Element`_ - -### textPath() -Referencing the textPath node directly: - -```javascript -var textPath = text.textPath() -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.TextPath`__ - -### track() -Referencing the linked path element directly: - -```javascript -var path = text.track() -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Path`__ - -## Use -The use element simply emulates another existing element. Any changes on the master element will be reflected on all the `use` instances. The usage of `use()` is very straightforward: - -```javascript -var rect = draw.rect(100, 100).fill('#f09') -var use = draw.use(rect).move(200, 200) -``` - -In the case of the example above two rects will appear on the svg drawing, the original and the `use` instance. In some cases you might want to hide the original element. the best way to do this is to create the original element in the defs node: - -```javascript -var rect = draw.defs().rect(100, 100).fill('#f09') -var use = draw.use(rect).move(200, 200) -``` - -In this way the rect element acts as a library element. You can edit it but it won't be rendered. - -Another way is to point an external SVG file, just specified the element `id` and path to file. - -```javascript -var use = draw.use('elementId', 'path/to/file.svg') -``` - -This way is usefull when you have complex images already created. -Note that, for external images (outside your domain) it may be necessary to load the file with XHR. - -__`returns`: `SVG.Use`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Use` < `SVG.Shape` < `SVG.Element`_ - -## Symbol -Not unlike the `group` element, the `symbol` element is a container element. The only difference between symbols and groups is that symbols are not rendered. Therefore a `symbol` element is ideal in combination with the `use` element: - -```javascript -var symbol = draw.symbol() -symbol.rect(100, 100).fill('#f09') - -var use = draw.use(symbol).move(200, 200) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Bare`__ - -_Javascript inheritance stack: `SVG.Bare` < `SVG.Element` [with a shallow inheritance from `SVG.Parent`]_ - -## Bare -For all SVG elements that are not described by SVG.js, the `SVG.Bare` class comes in handy. This class inherits directly from `SVG.Element` and makes it possible to add custom methods in a separate namespace without polluting the main `SVG.Element` namespace. Consider it your personal playground. - -### element() -The `SVG.Bare` class can be instantiated with the `element()` method on any parent element: - -```javascript -var element = draw.element('title') -``` -The string value passed as the first argument is the node name that should be generated. - -Additionally any existing class name can be passed as the second argument to define from which class the element should inherit: - -```javascript -var element = draw.element('symbol', SVG.Parent) -``` - -This gives you as the user a lot of power. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. - -__`returns`: `SVG.Bare`__ - -### words() -The `SVG.Bare` instance carries an additional method to add plain text: - -```javascript -var element = draw.element('title').words('This is a title.') -//-> This is a title. -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -## Referencing elements - -### By id -If you want to get an element created by SVG.js by its id, you can use the `SVG.get()` method: - -```javascript -var element = SVG.get('my_element') - -element.fill('#f06') -``` - -### Using CSS selectors -There are two ways to select elements using CSS selectors. - -The first is to search globally. This will search in all svg elements in a document and return them in an instance of `SVG.Set`: - -```javascript -var elements = SVG.select('rect.my-class').fill('#f06') -``` - -The second is to search within a parent element: - -```javascript -var elements = group.select('rect.my-class').fill('#f06') -``` - -### Using jQuery or Zepto -Another way is to use [jQuery](http://jquery.com/) or [Zepto](http://zeptojs.com/). Here is an example: - -```javascript -// add elements -var draw = SVG('drawing') -var group = draw.group().addClass('my-group') -var rect = group.rect(100,100).addClass('my-element') -var circle = group.circle(100).addClass('my-element').move(100, 100) - -// get elements in group -var elements = $('#drawing g.my-group .my-element').each(function() { - this.instance.animate().fill('#f09') -}) -``` - -## Circular reference -Every element instance within SVG.js has a reference to the actual `node`: - -### node -```javascript -element.node -``` -__`returns`: `node`__ - -### native() -The same can be achieved with the `native()` method: -```javascript -element.native() -``` -__`returns`: `node`__ - - -### instance -Similar, the node carries a reference to the SVG.js `instance`: - -```javascript -node.instance -``` -__`returns`: `element`__ - -## Parent reference -Every element has a reference to its parent with the `parent()` method: - -### parent() - -```javascript -element.parent() -``` - -__`returns`: `element`__ - -Alternatively a class or css selector can be passed as the first argument: - -```javascript -var draw = SVG('drawing') -var nested = draw.nested().addClass('test') -var group = nested.group() -var rect = group.rect(100, 100) -

-### each() -The `each()` allows you to iterate over the all children of a parent element: - -```javascript -draw.each(function(i, children) { - this.fill({ color: '#f06' }) -}) -``` - -Deep traversing is also possible by passing true as the second argument: - -```javascript -// draw.each(block, deep) -draw.each(function(i, children) { - this.fill({ color: '#f06' }) -}, true) -``` - -Note that `this` refers to the current child element. - -__`returns`: `itself`__ -

-```javascript -draw.svg() -``` - -Exporting works on all elements. - -Importing is done with the same method: - -```javascript -draw.svg('') -``` - -Importing works on any element that inherits from `SVG.Parent`, which is basically every element that can contain other elements. - -`getter`__`returns`: `string`__ - -`setter`__`returns`: `itself`__ - -## Attributes and styles - -### attr() -You can get and set an element's attributes directly using `attr()`. - -Get a single attribute: -```javascript -rect.attr('x') -``` - -Set a single attribute: -```javascript -rect.attr('x', 50) -``` - -Set multiple attributes at once: -```javascript -rect.attr({ - fill: '#f06' -, 'fill-opacity': 0.5 -, stroke: '#000' -, 'stroke-width': 10 -}) -``` - -Set an attribute with a namespace: -```javascript -rect.attr('x', 50, 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg') -``` - -Explicitly remove an attribute: -```javascript -rect.attr('fill', null) -``` - -`getter`__`returns`: `value`__ - -`setter`__`returns`: `itself`__ - - -### style() -With the `style()` method the `style` attribute can be managed like attributes with `attr`: - -```javascript -rect.style('cursor', 'pointer') -``` - -Multiple styles can be set at once using an object: - -```javascript -rect.style({ cursor: 'pointer', fill: '#f03' }) -``` - -Or a css string: - -```javascript -rect.style('cursor:pointer;fill:#f03;') -``` - -Similar to `attr()` the `style()` method can also act as a getter: - -```javascript -rect.style('cursor') -// => pointer -``` - -Or even a full getter: - -```javascript -rect.style() -// => 'cursor:pointer;fill:#f03;' -``` - -Explicitly deleting individual style definitions works the same as with the `attr()` method: - -```javascript -rect.style('cursor', null) -``` - -`getter`__`returns`: `value`__ - -`setter`__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### fill() -The `fill()` method is a pretty alternative to the `attr()` method: - -```javascript -rect.fill({ color: '#f06', opacity: 0.6 }) -``` - -A single hex string will work as well: - -```javascript -rect.fill('#f06') -``` - -Last but not least, you can also use an image as fill, simply by passing an image url: - -```javascript -rect.fill('images/shade.jpg') -``` - -Or if you want more control over the size of the image, you can pass an image instance as well: - -```javascript -rect.fill(draw.image('images/shade.jpg', 20, 20)) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### stroke() -The `stroke()` method is similar to `fill()`: - -```javascript -rect.stroke({ color: '#f06', opacity: 0.6, width: 5 }) -``` - -Like fill, a single hex string will work as well: - -```javascript -rect.stroke('#f06') -``` - -Not unlike the `fill()` method, you can also use an image as stroke, simply by passing an image url: - -```javascript -rect.stroke('images/shade.jpg') -``` - -Or if you want more control over the size of the image, you can pass an image instance as well: - -```javascript -rect.stroke(draw.image('images/shade.jpg', 20, 20)) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### opacity() -To set the overall opacity of an element: - -```javascript -rect.opacity(0.5) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### reference() -In cases where an element is linked to another element through an attribute, the linked element instance can be fetched with the `reference()` method. The only thing required is the attribute name: - -```javascript -use.reference('href') //-> returns used element instance -// or -rect.reference('fill') //-> returns gradient or pattern instance for example -// or -circle.reference('clip-path') //-> returns clip instance -``` - -### hide() -Hide element: - -```javascript -rect.hide() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### show() -Show element: - -```javascript -rect.show() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### visible() -To check if the element is visible: - -```javascript -rect.visible() -``` - -__`returns`: `boolean`__ - -## Classes - -### classes() -Fetches the css classes for the node as an array: - -```javascript -rect.classes() -``` - -`getter`__`returns`: `array`__ - -### hasClass() -Test the presence of a given css class: - -```javascript -rect.hasClass('purple-rain') -``` - -`getter`__`returns`: `boolean`__ - -### addClass() -Adds a given css class: - -```javascript -rect.addClass('pink-flower') -``` - -`setter`__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### removeClass() -Removes a given css class: - -```javascript -rect.removeClass('pink-flower') -``` - -`setter`__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### toggleClass() -Toggles a given css class: - -```javascript -rect.toggleClass('pink-flower') -``` - -`setter`__`returns`: `itself`__ - -## Size and position - -While positioning an element by directly setting its attributes works only if the attributes are used natively by that type of element, the positioning methods described below are much more convenient as they work for all element types. - -For example, the following code works because each element is positioned by setting native attributes: - -```javascript -rect.attr({ x: 20, y: 60 }) -circle.attr({ cx: 50, cy: 40 }) -``` - -The `rect` will be moved by its upper left corner to the new coordinates, and the `circle` will be moved by its center. However, trying to move a `circle` by its 'corner' or a `rect` by its center in this way will fail. The following lines will get silently ignored as the attributes that are addressed are not natively used by the element setting them: - -```javascript -rect.attr({ cx: 20, cy: 60 }) -circle.attr({ x: 50, y: 40 }) -``` - -However, the positioning methods detailed below will work for all element types, regardless of whether the attributes being addressed are native to the type. So, unlike the lines above, these lines work just fine: - -```javascript -rect.cx(20).cy(60) -circle.x(50).y(40) -``` - -It is important to note, though, that these methods are only intended for use with user (unitless) coordinates. If, for example, an element has its size set via percentages or other units, the positioning methods that address its native attributes will most likely still work, but the ones that address non-native attributes will give unexpected results -- as both getters and setters! - - -### size() -Set the size of an element to a given `width` and `height`: - -```javascript -rect.size(200, 300) -``` - -Proportional resizing is also possible by leaving out `height`: - -```javascript -rect.size(200) -``` - -Or by passing `null` as the value for `width`: - -```javascript -rect.size(null, 200) -``` - -As with positioning, the size of an element could be set by using `attr()`. But because every type of element is handles its size differently the `size()` method is much more convenient. - -There is one exception though: for `SVG.Text` elements, this method takes only one argument and applies the given value to the `font-size` attribute. - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### width() -Set the width of an element: - -```javascript -rect.width(200) -``` - -This method also acts as a getter: - -```javascript -rect.width() //-> returns 200 -``` - -`getter`__`returns`: `value`__ - -`setter`__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### height() -Set the height of an element: - -```javascript -rect.height(325) -``` - -This method also acts as a getter: - -```javascript -rect.height() //-> returns 325 -``` - -`getter`__`returns`: `value`__ - -`setter`__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### radius() -Circles, ellipses, and rects may use the `radius()` method. On rects, it defines rounded corners. - -For a circle, the argument sets the `r` attribute. - -```javascript -circle.radius(10) -``` - -For ellipses and rects, pass two arguments to set the `rx` and `ry` attributes individually. Or, pass a single argument, to make the two attributes equal. - -```javascript -ellipse.radius(10, 20) -rect.radius(5) -``` - -_This functionality requires the sugar.js module which is included in the default distribution._ - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### move() -Move the element by its upper left corner to a given `x` and `y` position: - -```javascript -rect.move(200, 350) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### x() -Move the element by its upper left corner along the x-axis only: - -```javascript -rect.x(200) -``` - -Without an argument the `x()` method serves as a getter as well: - -```javascript -rect.x() //-> returns 200 -``` - -`getter`__`returns`: `value`__ - -`setter`__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### y() -Move the element by its upper left corner along the y-axis only: - -```javascript -rect.y(350) -``` - -Without an argument the `y()` method serves as a getter as well: - -```javascript -rect.y() //-> returns 350 -``` - -`getter`__`returns`: `value`__ - -`setter`__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### center() -Move the element by its center to a given `cx` and `cy` position: - -```javascript -rect.center(150, 150) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### cx() -Move the element by its center in the `x` direction only: - -```javascript -rect.cx(200) -``` - -Without an argument the `cx()` method serves as a getter as well: - -```javascript -rect.cx() //-> returns 200 -``` - -`getter`__`returns`: `value`__ - -`setter`__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### cy() -Move the element by its center in the `y` direction only: - -```javascript -rect.cy(350) -``` - -Without an argument the `cy()` method serves as a getter as well: - -```javascript -rect.cy() //-> returns 350 -``` - -`getter`__`returns`: `value`__ - -`setter`__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### dmove() -Shift the element in both the `x` and `y` directions relative to its current position: - -```javascript -rect.dmove(10, 30) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### dx() -Shift the element in the `x` direction relative to its current position: - -```javascript -rect.dx(200) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### dy() -Shift the element in the `y` direction relative to its current position: - -```javascript -rect.dy(200) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -## Document tree manipulations - -### clone() -To make an exact copy of an element the `clone()` method comes in handy: - -```javascript -var clone = rect.clone() -``` - -__`returns`: `element`__ - -This will create a new, unlinked copy. For making a linked clone, see the [use](#use) element. -By default the cloned element is placed directly after the orginal element. -When you pass a parent parameter to the `clone()` function it will append the cloned element to the given parent. - -### remove() -Removes the calling element from the svg document: - -```javascript -rect.remove() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### replace() -At the calling element's position in the svg document, replace the calling element with the element passed to the method. - -```javascript -rect.replace(draw.circle(100)) -``` - -__`returns`: `element`__ - - -### add() -Sets the calling element as the parent node of the argument. Returns the parent: - -```javascript -var rect = draw.rect(100, 100) -var group = draw.group() - -group.add(rect) //-> returns group -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### put() -Sets the calling element as the parent node of the argument. Returns the child: - -```javascript -group.put(rect) //-> returns rect -``` - -__`returns`: `element`__ - -### addTo() -Sets the calling element as a child node of the argument. Returns the child: - -```javascript -rect.addTo(group) //-> returns rect -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### putIn() -Sets the calling element as a child node of the argument. Returns the parent: - -```javascript -rect.putIn(group) //-> returns group -``` - -__`returns`: `element`__ - -### toParent() -Moves an element to a different parent (similar to `addTo`), but without changing its visual representation. All transformations are merged and applied to the element. - -```javascript -rect.toParent(group) // looks the same as before -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### toDoc() -Same as `toParent()` but with the root-node as parent - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### ungroup() / flatten() -Break up a group/container and move all the elements to a given parent node without changing their visual representations. The result is a flat svg structure, e.g. for exporting. - -```javascript -// ungroups all elements in this group recursively and places them into the given parent -// (default: parent container of the calling element) -group.ungroup(parent, depth) - -// call it on the whole document to get a flat svg structure -drawing.ungroup() - -// breaks up the group and places all elements in drawing -group.ungroup(drawing) - -// breaks up all groups until it reaches a depth of 3 -drawing.ungroup(null, 3) - -// flat and export svg -var svgString = drawing.ungroup().svg() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - - -## Transforms - -### transform() - -The `transform()` method acts as a full getter without an argument: - -```javascript -element.transform() -``` - -The returned __`object`__ contains the following values: - -- `x` (translation on the x-axis) -- `y` (translation on the y-axis) -- `skewX` (calculated skew on x-axis) -- `skewY` (calculated skew on y-axis) -- `scaleX` (calculated scale on x-axis) -- `scaleY` (calculated scale on y-axis) -- `rotation` (calculated rotation) -- `cx` (last used rotation centre on x-axis) -- `cy` (last used rotation centre on y-axis) - -Additionally a string value for the required property can be passed: - -```javascript -element.transform('rotation') -``` - -In this case the returned value is a __`number`__. - - -As a setter it has two ways of working. By default transformations are absolute. For example, if you call: - -```javascript -element.transform({ rotation: 125 }).transform({ rotation: 37.5 }) -``` - -The resulting rotation will be `37.5` and not the sum of the two transformations. But if that's what you want there is a way out by adding the `relative` parameter. That would be: - - -```javascript -element.transform({ rotation: 125 }).transform({ rotation: 37.5, relative: true }) -``` - -Alternatively a relative flag can be passed as the second argument: - -```javascript -element.transform({ rotation: 125 }).transform({ rotation: 37.5 }, true) -``` - -Available transformations are: - -- `rotation` with optional `cx` and `cy` -- `scale` with optional `cx` and `cy` -- `scaleX` with optional `cx` and `cy` -- `scaleY` with optional `cx` and `cy` -- `skewX` with optional `cx` and `cy` -- `skewY` with optional `cx` and `cy` -- `x` -- `y` -- `a`, `b`, `c`, `d`, `e` and/or `f` or an existing matrix instead of the object - -`getter`__`returns`: `value`__ - -`setter`__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### rotate() -The `rotate()` method will automatically rotate elements according to the center of the element: - -```javascript -// rotate(degrees) -rect.rotate(45) -``` - -Although you can also define a specific rotation point: - -```javascript -// rotate(degrees, cx, cy) -rect.rotate(45, 50, 50) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### skew() -The `skew()` method will take an `x` and `y` value: - -```javascript -// skew(x, y) -rect.skew(0, 45) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### scale() -The `scale()` method will take an `x` and `y` value: - -```javascript -// scale(x, y) -rect.scale(0.5, -1) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### translate() -The `translate()` method will take an `x` and `y` value: - -```javascript -// translate(x, y) -rect.translate(0.5, -1) -``` - - -## Geometry - -### viewbox() - -The `viewBox` attribute of an `` element can be managed with the `viewbox()` method. When supplied with four arguments it will act as a setter: - -```javascript -draw.viewbox(0, 0, 297, 210) -``` - -Alternatively you can also supply an object as the first argument: - -```javascript -draw.viewbox({ x: 0, y: 0, width: 297, height: 210 }) -``` - -Without any arguments an instance of `SVG.ViewBox` will be returned: - -```javascript -var box = draw.viewbox() -``` - -But the best thing about the `viewbox()` method is that you can get the zoom of the viewbox: - -```javascript -var box = draw.viewbox() -var zoom = box.zoom -``` - -If the size of the viewbox equals the size of the svg drawing, the zoom value will be 1. - -`getter`__`returns`: `SVG.ViewBox`__ - -`setter`__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### bbox() -Get the bounding box of an element. This is a wrapper for the native `getBBox()` method but adds more values: - -```javascript -path.bbox() -``` - -This will return an instance of `SVG.BBox` containing the following values: - -- `width` (value from native `getBBox`) -- `height` (value from native `getBBox`) -- `w` (shorthand for `width`) -- `h` (shorthand for `height`) -- `x` (value from native `getBBox`) -- `y` (value from native `getBBox`) -- `cx` (center `x` of the bounding box) -- `cy` (center `y` of the bounding box) -- `x2` (lower right `x` of the bounding box) -- `y2` (lower right `y` of the bounding box) - -The `SVG.BBox` has one other nifty little feature, enter the `merge()` method. With `merge()` two `SVG.BBox` instances can be merged into one new instance, basically being the bounding box of the two original bounding boxes: - -```javascript -var box1 = draw.rect(100,100).move(50,50).bbox() -var box2 = draw.rect(100,100).move(200,200).bbox() -var box3 = box1.merge(box2) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.BBox`__ - -### tbox() -Where `bbox()` returns a bounding box mindless of any transformations, the `tbox()` method does take transformations into account. So any translation or scale will be applied to the resulting values to get closer to the actual visual representation: - -```javascript -path.tbox() -``` - -This will return an instance of `SVG.TBox` containing the following values: - -- `width` (value from native getBBox influenced by the `scaleX` of the current matrix) -- `height` (value from native getBBox influenced by the `scaleY` of the current matrix) -- `w` (shorthand for `width`) -- `h` (shorthand for `height`) -- `x` (value from native getBBox influenced by the `x` of the current matrix) -- `y` (value from native getBBox influenced by the `y` of the current matrix) -- `cx` (center `x` of the bounding box) -- `cy` (center `y` of the bounding box) -- `x2` (lower right `x` of the bounding box) -- `y2` (lower right `y` of the bounding box) - -Note that the rotation of the element will not be added to the calculation. - -__`returns`: `SVG.TBox`__ - -### rbox() -Is similar to `bbox()` but will give you the box around the exact visual representation of the element, taking all transformations into account. - -```javascript -path.rbox() -``` - -This will return an instance of `SVG.RBox` containing the following values: - -- `width` (the actual visual width) -- `height` (the actual visual height) -- `w` (shorthand for `width`) -- `h` (shorthand for `height`) -- `x` (the actual visual position on the x-axis) -- `y` (the actual visual position on the y-axis) -- `cx` (center `x` of the bounding box) -- `cy` (center `y` of the bounding box) -- `x2` (lower right `x` of the bounding box) -- `y2` (lower right `y` of the bounding box) - -__Important__: Mozilla browsers include stroke widths where other browsers do not. Therefore the resulting box might be different in Mozilla browsers. It is very hard to modify this behavior so for the time being this is an inconvenience we have to live with. - -__`returns`: `SVG.RBox`__ - -### ctm() -Retreives the current transform matrix of the element relative to the nearest viewport parent: - -```javascript -path.ctm() -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Matrix`__ - -### screenCTM() -Retreives the current transform matrix of the element relative to the screen: - -```javascript -path.screenCTM() -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Matrix`__ - -### matrixify() -Merges all transformations of the element into one single matrix which is returned - -```javascript -path.matrixify() -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Matrix`__ - - -### point() -Transforms a point from screen coordinates to the elements coordinate system - -```javascript -// e is some mouseevent -var point = path.point(e.screeX, e.screenY) // {x, y} -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Point`__ - - -### inside() -To check if a given point is inside the bounding box of an element you can use the `inside()` method: - -```javascript -var rect = draw.rect(100, 100).move(50, 50) - -rect.inside(25, 30) //-> returns false -rect.inside(60, 70) //-> returns true -``` - -Note: the `x` and `y` positions are tested against the relative position of the element. Any offset on the parent element is not taken into account. - -__`returns`: `boolean`__ - -### length() -Get the total length of a path element: - -```javascript -var length = path.length() -``` - -__`returns`: `number`__ - -### pointAt() -Get point on a path at given length: - -```javascript -var point = path.pointAt(105) //-> returns { x : 96.88497924804688, y : 58.062747955322266 } -``` - -__`returns`: `object`__ - - -## Animating elements - -### Animatable method chain -Note that the `animate()` method will not return the targeted element but an instance of SVG.FX which will take the following methods: - -Of course `attr()`: -```javascript -rect.animate().attr({ fill: '#f03' }) -``` - -The `x()`, `y()` and `move()` methods: -```javascript -rect.animate().move(100, 100) -``` - -And the `cx()`, `cy()` and `center()` methods: -```javascript -rect.animate().center(200, 200) -``` - -If you include the sugar.js module, `fill()`, `stroke()`, `rotate()`, `skew()`, `scale()`, `matrix()`, `opacity()`, `radius()` will be available as well: -```javascript -rect.animate().rotate(45).skew(25, 0) -``` - -You can also animate non-numeric unit values using the `attr()` method: -```javascript -rect.attr('x', '10%').animate().attr('x', '50%') -``` - -### easing -All available ease types are: - -- `<>`: ease in and out -- `>`: ease out -- `<`: ease in -- `-`: linear -- `=`: external control -- a function - -For the latter, here is an example of the default `<>` function: - -```javascript -function(pos) { return (-Math.cos(pos * Math.PI) / 2) + 0.5 } -``` - -For more easing equations, have a look at the [svg.easing.js](https://github.com/svgdotjs/svg.easing.js) plugin. - -### animate() -Animating elements is very much the same as manipulating elements, the only difference is you have to include the `animate()` method: - -```javascript -rect.animate().move(150, 150) -``` - -The `animate()` method will take three arguments. The first is `duration`, the second `ease` and the third `delay`: - -```javascript -rect.animate(2000, '>', 1000).attr({ fill: '#f03' }) -``` - -Alternatively you can pass an object as the first argument: - -```javascript -rect.animate({ ease: '<', delay: '1.5s' }).attr({ fill: '#f03' }) -``` - -By default `duration` will be set to `1000`, `ease` will be set to `<>`. - -You can chain multiple animations together by calling `animate` again: - -```javascript -rect.animate({ ease: '<', delay: '1.5s' }).attr({ fill: '#f03' }).animate().dmove(50,50) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.FX`__ - -### delay() -Alternatively you can call `delay()` which will set an delay in ms before the next animation in the queue is run - -```javascript -rect.animate({ ease: '<', delay: '1.5s' }).attr({ fill: '#f03' }).delay(500).animate().dmove(50,50) -``` - -### queue() -If you want to call a custom funtion between two chained animations, you simply can queue them up: - -```javascript -rect.animate({ ease: '<', delay: '1.5s' }).attr({ fill: '#f03' }).queue(function(){ - - this.target().fill('#000') - this.dequeue() // dont forget to call dequeue when the queue should continue running - -}).animate().dmove(50,50) -``` - -### pause() -Pausing an animations is fairly straightforward: - -```javascript -rect.animate().move(200, 200) - -rect.mouseover(function() { this.pause() }) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### play() -Will start playing a paused animation: - -```javascript -rect.animate().move(200, 200) - -rect.mouseover(function() { this.pause() }) -rect.mouseout(function() { this.play() }) -``` -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### stop() -If you just want to stop an animation you can call the `stop()` method which has two optional arguments: - - - jumpToEnd: Sets the values to the end of the animation - - clearQueue: Remove all items from queue - -```javascript -rect.animate().move(200, 200) - -rect.stop() -// or e.g. -rect.stop(true) -``` - -Stopping an animation is irreversable. - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - - -### finish() -This method finishes the whole animation chain. All values are set to their corresponding end values and every situation gets fullfilled - -```javascript -rect.animate().move(200, 200).animate().dmove(50,50).size(300,400) - -rect.finish() // rect at 250,250 with size 300,400 -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### loop() -By default the `loop()` method creates and eternal loop: - -```javascript -rect.animate(3000).move(100, 100).loop() -``` - -But the loop can also be a predefined number of times: - -```javascript -rect.animate(3000).move(100, 100).loop(3) -``` - -Loops go from beginning to end and start over again (`0->1.0->1.0->1.`). - -There is also a reverse flag that should be passed as the second argument: - -```javascript -rect.animate(3000).move(100, 100).loop(3, true) -``` - -Loops will then be completely reversed before starting over (`0->1->0->1->0->1.`). - -__`returns`: `SVG.FX`__ - -### reverse() -Toggles the direction of the animation or sets it to a specific direction: - -```javascript -// will run from 100,100 to rects initial position -rect.animate(3000).move(100, 100).reverse() - -// sets direction to backwards -rect.animate(3000).move(100, 100).reverse(true) - -// sets direction to forwards (same as not calling reverse ever) -rect.animate(3000).move(100, 100).reverse(false) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.FX`__ - -### during/duringAll() -If you want to perform your own actions during one/all animation you can use the `during()/duringAll()` method: - -```javascript -var position - , from = 100 - , to = 300 - -rect.animate(3000).move(100, 100).during(function(pos, morph, eased, situation) { - position = from + (to - from) * pos -}) - -// or -rect.animate(3000).move(100, 100).duringAll(function(pos, morph, eased, situation) { - position = from + (to - from) * pos -}) -``` -Note that `pos` is `0` in the beginning of the animation and `1` at the end of the animation. - -To make things easier a morphing function is passed as the second argument. This function accepts a `from` and `to` value as the first and second argument and they can be a number, unit or hex color: - -```javascript -var ellipse = draw.ellipse(100, 100).attr('cx', '20%').fill('#333') - -rect.animate(3000).move(100, 100).during(function(pos, morph, eased, situation) { - // numeric values - ellipse.size(morph(100, 200), morph(100, 50)) - - // unit strings - ellipse.attr('cx', morph('20%', '80%')) - - // hex color strings - ellipse.fill(morph('#333', '#ff0066')) -}) -``` -The `eased` parameter contains the position after the easing function was applied. -The last parameter holds the current situation related to the current `during` call. -You can call `during()/duringAll()` multiple times to add more functions which should be executed. - -__`returns`: `SVG.FX`__ - -### after/afterAll() -Furthermore, you can add callback methods using `after()/afterAll()`: - -```javascript -rect.animate(3000).move(100, 100).after(function(situation) { - this.animate().attr({ fill: '#f06' }) -}) - -// or -rect.animate(3000).move(100, 100).afterAll(function() { - this.animate().attr({ fill: '#f06' }) -}) -``` - -The function gets the situation which was finished as first parameter. This doesn't apply to afterAll where no parameter is passed -Note that the `after()/afterAll()` method will never be called if the animation is looping eternally. -You can call `after()/afterAll()` multiple times to add more functions which should be executed. - -__`returns`: `SVG.FX`__ - -### once() -Finally, you can perform an action at a specific position only once. -Just pass the position and the function which should be executed to the `once` method. -You can also decide whether the position which is passed should be handled as position in time (not eased) or position in space (easing applied): - -```javascript -// the 0.5 is handled as uneased value (you can omit the false) -rect.animate(3000).move(100, 100).once(0.5, function(pos, eased) { - // do something -}, false) -``` - -```javascript -// the 0.5 is handled as eased value -rect.animate(3000).move(100, 100).once(0.5, function(pos, eased) { - // do something -}, true) -``` - -The callback function gets the current position uneased and eased - -__`returns`: `SVG.FX`__ - -### at() -Say you want to control the position of an animation with an external event, then the `at()` method will proove very useful: - -```javascript -var animation = draw.rect(100, 100).move(50, 50).animate('=').move(200, 200) - -document.onmousemove = function(event) { - animation.at(event.clientX / 1000) -} -``` - -The value passed as the first argument of `at()` should be a number between `0` and `1`, `0` being the beginning of the animation and `1` being the end. Note that any values below `0` and above `1` will be normalized. -Also note that the value is eased after calling the function. Therefore the position specifies a position in time not in space. - -_This functionality requires the fx.js module which is included in the default distribution._ - -__`returns`: `SVG.FX`__ - -### target() -The target method returns the element the animation is applied to: - -```javascript -rect.fx.target() // returns rect -``` - -`getter`__`returns`: `SVG.Element`__ - - -### situation -The current situation of an animation is stored in the `situation` object: - -```javascript -rect.animate(3000).move(100, 100) -rect.fx.situation //-> everything is in here -``` - -Available values are: - -- `start` (start time as a number in milliseconds) -- `play` (animation playing or not; `true` or `false`) -- `pause` (time when the animation was last paused) -- `duration` (the chosen duration of the animation) -- `ease` (the chosen easing calculation) -- `finish` (start + duration) -- `loop` (the current loop; counting down if a number; `true`, `false` or a number) -- `loops` (if a number, the total number loops; `true`, `false` or a number) -- `reverse` (whether or not the animation should run backwards) -- `reversing` (`true` if the loop is currently reversing, otherwise `false`) - - -## Masking elements - -### maskWith() -The easiest way to mask is to use a single element: - -```javascript -var ellipse = draw.ellipse(80, 40).move(10, 10).fill({ color: '#fff' }) - -rect.maskWith(ellipse) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### mask() -But you can also use multiple elements: - -```javascript -var ellipse = draw.ellipse(80, 40).move(10, 10).fill({ color: '#fff' }) -var text = draw.text('SVG.JS').move(10, 10).font({ size: 36 }).fill({ color: '#fff' }) - -var mask = draw.mask().add(text).add(ellipse) - -rect.maskWith(mask) -``` - -If you want the masked object to be rendered at 100% you need to set the fill color of the masking object to white. But you might also want to use a gradient: - -```javascript -var gradient = draw.gradient('linear', function(stop) { - stop.at({ offset: 0, color: '#000' }) - stop.at({ offset: 1, color: '#fff' }) -}) - -var ellipse = draw.ellipse(80, 40).move(10, 10).fill({ color: gradient }) - -rect.maskWith(ellipse) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Mask`__ - -### unmask() -Unmasking the elements can be done with the `unmask()` method: - -```javascript -rect.unmask() -``` - -The `unmask()` method returns the masking element. - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### remove() -Removing the mask alltogether will also `unmask()` all masked elements as well: - -```javascript -mask.remove() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### masker -For your convenience, the masking element is also referenced in the masked element. This can be useful in case you want to change the mask: - -```javascript -rect.masker.fill('#fff') -``` - -_This functionality requires the mask.js module which is included in the default distribution._ - - -## Clipping elements -Clipping elements works exactly the same as masking elements. The only difference is that clipped elements will adopt the geometry of the clipping element. Therefore events are only triggered when entering the clipping element whereas with masks the masked element triggers the event. Another difference is that masks can define opacity with their fill color and clipPaths don't. - -### clipWith() -```javascript -var ellipse = draw.ellipse(80, 40).move(10, 10) - -rect.clipWith(ellipse) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### clip() -Clip multiple elements: - -```javascript -var ellipse = draw.ellipse(80, 40).move(10, 10) -var text = draw.text('SVG.JS').move(10, 10).font({ size: 36 }) - -var clip = draw.clip().add(text).add(ellipse) - -rect.clipWith(clip) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.ClipPath`__ - -### unclip() -Unclipping the elements can be done with the `unclip()` method: - -```javascript -rect.unclip() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### remove() -Removing the clip alltogether will also `unclip()` all clipped elements as well: - -```javascript -clip.remove() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### clipper -For your convenience, the clipping element is also referenced in the clipped element. This can be useful in case you want to change the clipPath: - -```javascript -rect.clipper.move(10, 10) -``` - -_This functionality requires the clip.js module which is included in the default distribution._ - - -## Arranging elements -You can arrange elements within their parent SVG document using the following methods. - -### front() -Move element to the front: - -```javascript -rect.front() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### back() -Move element to the back: - -```javascript -rect.back() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### forward() -Move element one step forward: - -```javascript -rect.forward() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### backward() -Move element one step backward: - -```javascript -rect.backward() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### siblings() -The arrange.js module brings some additional methods. To get all siblings of rect, including rect itself: - -```javascript -rect.siblings() -``` - -__`returns`: `array`__ - -### position() -Get the position (a number) of rect between its siblings: - -```javascript -rect.position() -``` - -__`returns`: `number`__ - -### next() -Get the next sibling: - -```javascript -rect.next() -``` - -__`returns`: `element`__ - -### previous() -Get the previous sibling: - -```javascript -rect.previous() -``` - -__`returns`: `element`__ - -### before() -Insert an element before another: - -```javascript -// inserts circle before rect -rect.before(circle) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### after() -Insert an element after another: - -```javascript -// inserts circle after rect -rect.after(circle) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -_This functionality requires the arrange.js module which is included in the default distribution._ - - -## Sets -Sets are very useful if you want to modify or animate multiple elements at once. A set will accept all the same methods accessible on individual elements, even the ones that you add with your own plugins! Creating a set is exactly as you would expect: - -```javascript -// create some elements -var rect = draw.rect(100,100) -var circle = draw.circle(100).move(100,100).fill('#f09') - -// create a set and add the elements -var set = draw.set() -set.add(rect).add(circle) - -// change the fill of all elements in the set at once -set.fill('#ff0') -``` - -A single element can be a member of many sets. Sets also don't have a structural representation, in fact they are just fancy array's. - -### add() -Add an element to a set: - -```javascript -set.add(rect) -``` - -Quite a useful feature of sets is the ability to accept multiple elements at once: - -```javascript -set.add(rect, circle) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### each() -Iterating over all members in a set is the same as with svg containers: - -```javascript -set.each(function(i) { - this.attr('id', 'shiny_new_id_' + i) -}) -``` - -Note that `this` refers to the current child element. - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### has() -Determine if an element is member of the set: - -```javascript -set.has(rect) -``` - -__`returns`: `boolean`__ - -### index() -Returns the index of a given element in the set. - -```javascript -set.index(rect) //-> -1 if element is not a member -``` - -__`returns`: `number`__ - -### get() -Gets the element at a given index: - -```javascript -set.get(1) -``` - -__`returns`: `element`__ - -### first() -Gets the first element: - -```javascript -set.first() -``` - -__`returns`: `element`__ - -### last() -Gets the last element: - -```javascript -set.last() -``` - -__`returns`: `element`__ - -### bbox() -Get the bounding box of all elements in the set: - -```javascript -set.bbox() -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.BBox`__ - -### remove() -To remove an element from a set: - -```javascript -set.remove(rect) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### clear() -Or to remove all elements from a set: - -```javascript -set.clear() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### animate() -Sets work with animations as well: - -```javascript -set.animate(3000).fill('#ff0') -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.SetFX`__ - - -## Gradient - -### gradient() -There are linear and radial gradients. The linear gradient can be created like this: - -```javascript -var gradient = draw.gradient('linear', function(stop) { - stop.at(0, '#333') - stop.at(1, '#fff') -}) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Gradient`__ - -### at() -The `offset` and `color` parameters are required for stops, `opacity` is optional. Offset is float between 0 and 1, or a percentage value (e.g. `33%`). - -```javascript -stop.at(0, '#333') -``` - -or - -```javascript -stop.at({ offset: 0, color: '#333', opacity: 1 }) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### from() -To define the direction you can set from `x`, `y` and to `x`, `y`: - -```javascript -gradient.from(0, 0).to(0, 1) -``` - -The from and to values are also expressed in percent. - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### to() -To define the direction you can set from `x`, `y` and to `x`, `y`: - -```javascript -gradient.from(0, 0).to(0, 1) -``` - -The from and to values are also expressed in percent. - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### radius() -Radial gradients have a `radius()` method to define the outermost radius to where the inner color should develop: - -```javascript -var gradient = draw.gradient('radial', function(stop) { - stop.at(0, '#333') - stop.at(1, '#fff') -}) - -gradient.from(0.5, 0.5).to(0.5, 0.5).radius(0.5) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### update() -A gradient can also be updated afterwards: - -```javascript -gradient.update(function(stop) { - stop.at(0.1, '#333', 0.2) - stop.at(0.9, '#f03', 1) -}) -``` - -And even a single stop can be updated: - -```javascript -var s1, s2, s3 - -draw.gradient('radial', function(stop) { - s1 = stop.at(0, '#000') - s2 = stop.at(0.5, '#f03') - s3 = stop.at(1, '#066') -}) - -s1.update(0.1, '#0f0', 1) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### get() -The `get()` method makes it even easier to get a stop from an existing gradient: - -```javascript -var gradient = draw.gradient('radial', function(stop) { - stop.at({ offset: 0, color: '#000', opacity: 1 }) // -> first - stop.at({ offset: 0.5, color: '#f03', opacity: 1 }) // -> second - stop.at({ offset: 1, color: '#066', opacity: 1 }) // -> third -}) - -var s1 = gradient.get(0) // -> returns "first" stop -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Stop`__ - -### fill() -Finally, to use the gradient on an element: - -```javascript -rect.attr({ fill: gradient }) -``` - -Or: - -```javascript -rect.fill(gradient) -``` - -By passing the gradient instance as the fill on any element, the `fill()` method will be called: - -```javascript -gradient.fill() //-> returns 'url(#SvgjsGradient1234)' -``` - -[W3Schools](http://www.w3schools.com/svg/svg_grad_linear.asp) has a great example page on how -[linear gradients](http://www.w3schools.com/svg/svg_grad_linear.asp) and -[radial gradients](http://www.w3schools.com/svg/svg_grad_radial.asp) work. - -_This functionality requires the gradient.js module which is included in the default distribution._ - -__`returns`: `value`__ - - -## Pattern - -### pattern() -Creating a pattern is very similar to creating gradients: - -```javascript -var pattern = draw.pattern(20, 20, function(add) { - add.rect(20,20).fill('#f06') - add.rect(10,10) - add.rect(10,10).move(10,10) -}) -``` - -This creates a checkered pattern of 20 x 20 pixels. You can add any available element to your pattern. - -__`returns`: `SVG.Pattern`__ - - -### update() -A pattern can also be updated afterwards: - -```javascript -pattern.update(function(add) { - add.circle(15).center(10,10) -}) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - - -### fill() -Finally, to use the pattern on an element: - -```javascript -rect.attr({ fill: pattern }) -``` - -Or: - -```javascript -rect.fill(pattern) -``` - -By passing the pattern instance as the fill on any element, the `fill()` method will be called on th pattern instance: - -```javascript -pattern.fill() //-> returns 'url(#SvgjsPattern1234)' -``` - -__`returns`: `value`__ - - -## Marker - -### marker() -Markers can be added to every individual point of a `line`, `polyline`, `polygon` and `path`. There are three types of markers: `start`, `mid` and `end`. Where `start` represents the first point, `end` the last and `mid` every point in between. - -```javascript -var path = draw.path('M 100 200 C 200 100 300 0 400 100 C 500 200 600 300 700 200 C 800 100 900 100 900 100z') - -path.fill('none').stroke({ width: 1 }) - -path.marker('start', 10, 10, function(add) { - add.circle(10).fill('#f06') -}) -path.marker('mid', 10, 10, function(add) { - add.rect(10, 10) -}) -path.marker('end', 20, 20, function(add) { - add.circle(6).center(4, 5) - add.circle(6).center(4, 15) - add.circle(6).center(16, 10) - - this.fill('#0f6') -}) -``` - -The `marker()` method can be used in three ways. Firstly, a marker can be created on any container element (e.g. svg, nested, group, ...). This is useful if you plan to reuse the marker many times so it will create a marker in the defs but not show it yet: - -```javascript -var marker = draw.marker(10, 10, function(add) { - add.rect(10, 10) -}) -``` - -Secondly a marker can be created and applied directly on its target element: - -```javascript -path.marker('start', 10, 10, function(add) { - add.circle(10).fill('#f06') -}) -``` - -This will create a marker in the defs and apply it directly. Note that the first argument defines the position of the marker and that there are four arguments as opposed to three with the first example. - -Lastly, if a marker is created for reuse on a container element, it can be applied directly on the target element: - -```javascript -path.marker('mid', marker) -``` - -Finally, to get a marker instance from the target element reference: - -```javascript -path.reference('marker-end') -``` - - -### ref() -By default the `refX` and `refY` attributes of a marker are set to respectively half the `width` nd `height` values. To define the `refX` and `refY` of a marker differently: - -```javascript -marker.ref(2, 7) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### update() -Updating the contents of a marker will `clear()` the existing content and add the content defined in the block passed as the first argument: - -```javascript -marker.update(function(add) { - add.circle(10) -}) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### width() -Defines the `markerWidth` attribute: - -```javascript -marker.width(10) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### height() -Defines the `markerHeight` attribute: - -```javascript -marker.height(10) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### size() -Defines the `markerWidth` and `markerHeight` attributes: - -```javascript -marker.size(10, 10) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - - -## Data - -### Setting -The `data()` method allows you to bind arbitrary objects, strings and numbers to SVG elements: - -```javascript -rect.data('key', { value: { data: 0.3 }}) -``` - -Or set multiple values at once: - -```javascript -rect.data({ - forbidden: 'fruit' -, multiple: { - values: 'in' - , an: 'object' - } -}) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### Getting -Fetching the values is similar to the `attr()` method: - -```javascript -rect.data('key') -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### Removing -Removing the data altogether: - -```javascript -rect.data('key', null) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### Sustaining data types -Your values will always be stored as JSON and in some cases this might not be desirable. If you want to store the value as-is, just pass true as the third argument: - -```javascript -rect.data('key', 'value', true) -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - - -## Memory - -### remember() -Storing data in-memory is very much like setting attributes: - -```javascript -rect.remember('oldBBox', rect.bbox()) -``` - -Multiple values can also be remembered at once: - -```javascript -rect.remember({ - oldFill: rect.attr('fill') -, oldStroke: rect.attr('stroke') -}) -``` - -To retrieve a memory - -```javascript -rect.remember('oldBBox') -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### forget() -Erasing a single memory: - -```javascript -rect.forget('oldBBox') -``` - -Or erasing multiple memories at once: - - -```javascript -rect.forget('oldFill', 'oldStroke') -``` - -And finally, just erasing the whole memory: - -```javascript -rect.forget() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -## Events - -### Basic events -Events can be bound to elements as follows: - -```javascript -rect.click(function() { - this.fill({ color: '#f06' }) -}) -``` - -Removing it is quite as easy: - -```javascript -rect.click(null) -``` - -All available events are: `click`, `dblclick`, `mousedown`, `mouseup`, `mouseover`, `mouseout`, `mousemove`, `touchstart`, `touchmove`, `touchleave`, `touchend` and `touchcancel`. - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### Event listeners -You can also bind event listeners to elements: - -```javascript -var click = function() { - this.fill({ color: '#f06' }) -} - -rect.on('click', click) -``` - -**Note:** The context of `this` in the callback is bound to the element. You can change this context by applying your own object: - -```javascript -rect.on('click', click, window) // context of this is window -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -Unbinding events is just as easy: - -```javascript -rect.off('click', click) -``` - -Or to unbind all listeners for a given event: - -```javascript -rect.off('click') -``` - -Or even unbind all listeners for all events: - -```javascript -rect.off() -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -But there is more to event listeners. You can bind events to html elements as well: - -```javascript -SVG.on(window, 'click', click) -``` - -Obviously unbinding is practically the same: - -```javascript -SVG.off(window, 'click', click) -``` - -### Custom events -You can even use your own events. - -Just add an event listener for your event: -```javascript -rect.on('myevent', function() { - alert('ta-da!') -}) -``` - -Now you are ready to fire the event whenever you need: - -```javascript -function whenSomethingHappens() { - rect.fire('myevent') -} - -// or if you want to pass an event -function whenSomethingHappens(event) { - rect.fire(event) -} - -``` - -You can also pass some data to the event: - -```javascript -function whenSomethingHappens() { - rect.fire('myevent', {some:'data'}) -} - -rect.on('myevent', function(e) { - alert(e.detail.some) // outputs 'data' -}) -``` - -svg.js supports namespaced events following the syntax `event.namespace`. - -A namespaced event behaves like a normal event with the difference that you can remove it without touching handlers from other namespaces. - -``` -// attach -rect.on('myevent.namespace', function(e) { - // do something -}) - -// detach all handlers of namespace for myevent -rect.off('myevent.namespace') - -// detach all handlers of namespace -rect.off('.namespace') - -// detach all handlers including all namespaces -rect.off('myevent) -``` - -However you can't fire a specific namespaced event. Calling `rect.fire('myevent.namespace')` won't do anything while `rect.fire('myevent')` works and fires all attached handlers of the event - -_Important: always make sure you namespace your event to avoid conflicts. Preferably use something very specific. So `event.wicked` for example would be better than something generic like `event.svg`._ - -## Numbers - -Numbers in SVG.js have a dedicated number class to be able to process string values. Creating a new number is simple: - -```javascript -var number = new SVG.Number('78%') -number.plus('3%').toString() //-> returns '81%' -number.valueOf() //-> returns 0.81 -``` - -Operators are defined as methods on the `SVG.Number` instance. - -### plus() -Addition: - -```javascript -number.plus('3%') -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Number`__ - -### minus() -Subtraction: - -```javascript -number.minus('3%') -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Number`__ - -### times() -Multiplication: - -```javascript -number.times(2) -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Number`__ - -### divide() -Division: - -```javascript -number.divide('3%') -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Number`__ - -### to() -Change number to another unit: - -```javascript -number.to('px') -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Number`__ - -### morph() -Make a number morphable: - -```javascript -number.morph('11%') -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - - -### at() -Get morphable number at given position: - -```javascript -var number = new SVG.Number('79%').morph('3%') -number.at(0.55).toString() //-> '37.2%' -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Number`__ - - -## Colors - -Svg.js has a dedicated color class handling different types of colors. Accepted values are: - -- hex string; three based (e.g. #f06) or six based (e.g. #ff0066) `new SVG.Color('#f06')` -- rgb string; e.g. rgb(255, 0, 102) `new SVG.Color('rgb(255, 0, 102)')` -- rgb object; e.g. { r: 255, g: 0, b: 102 } `new SVG.Color({ r: 255, g: 0, b: 102 })` - -Note that when working with objects is important to provide all three values every time. - -The `SVG.Color` instance has a few methods of its own. - -### toHex() -Get hex value: - -```javascript -color.toHex() //-> returns '#ff0066' -``` - -__`returns`: hex color string__ - -### toRgb() -Get rgb string value: - -```javascript -color.toRgb() //-> returns 'rgb(255,0,102)' -``` - -__`returns`: rgb color string__ - -### brightness() -Get the brightness of a color: - -```javascript -color.brightness() //-> returns 0.344 -``` - -This is the perceived brighness where `0` is black and `1` is white. - -__`returns`: `number`__ - -### morph() -Make a color morphable: - -```javascript -color.morph('#000') -``` - -__`returns`: `itself`__ - -### at() -Get morphable color at given position: - -```javascript -var color = new SVG.Color('#ff0066').morph('#000') -color.at(0.5).toHex() //-> '#7f0033' -``` - -__`returns`: `SVG.Color`__ - - -## Arrays -In SVG.js every value list string can be cast and passed as an array. This makes writing them more convenient but also adds a lot of key functionality to them. - -### SVG.Array -Is for simple, whitespace separated value strings: - -```javascript -'0.343 0.669 0.119 0 0 0.249 -0.626 0.13 0 0 0.172 0.334 0.111 0 0 0 0 0 1 0' -``` - -Can also be passed like this in a more manageable format: - -```javascript -new SVG.Array([ .343, .669, .119, 0, 0 - , .249, -.626, .130, 0, 0 - , .172, .334, .111, 0, 0 - , .000, .000, .000, 1, -0 ]) -``` - -### SVG.PointArray -Is a bit more complex and is used for polyline and polygon elements.

For the sake of this example, lets "invent" a shape. We want a `rect` with rounded corners that are always proportional to the height of the element. The new shape lives in the `SVG` namespace and is called `Rounded`. Here is how we achieve that. - -```javascript -SVG.Rounded = SVG.invent({ - // Define the type of element that should be created - create: 'rect' - - // Specify from which existing class this shape inherits -, inherit: SVG.Shape - - // Add custom methods to invented shape -, extend: { - // Create method to proportionally scale the rounded corners - size: function(width, height) { - return this.attr({ - width: width - , height: height - , rx: height / 5 - , ry: height / 5 - }) - } - } - - // Add method to parent elements -, construct: { - // Create a rounded element - rounded: function(width, height) { - return this.put(new SVG.Rounded).size(width, height) - } - - } -}) -``` - -To create the element in your drawing: - -```javascript -var rounded = draw.rounded(200, 100) -``` - -That's it, the invention is now ready to be used! - -#### Accepted values -The `SVG.invent()` function always expects an object. The object can have the following configuration values: - -- `create`: can be either a string with the node name (e.g. `rect`, `ellipse`, ...) or a custom initializer function; `[required]` -- `inherit`: the desired SVG.js class to inherit from (e.g. `SVG.Shape`, `SVG.Element`, `SVG.Container`, `SVG.Rect`, ...); `[optional but recommended]` -- `extend`: an object with the methods that should be applied to the element's prototype; `[optional]` -- `construct`: an object with the methods to create the element on the parent element; `[optional]` -- `parent`: an SVG.js parent class on which the methods in the passed `construct` object should be available - defaults to `SVG.Container`; `[optional]` - -#### Usage notes - -It should be emphasized that in the configuration object passed to `SVG.invent()`: - -- `construct` does not supply constructors, but rather methods that are likely to *call* constructors; -- `create` specifies the constructor for the type you are defining, and is not analogous to `Object.create()`. - -When defining specialized svg elements (such as `SVG.Rounded` in the example above), the function specified by `create` needs to do all the work of adding the element to the DOM for the svg document and connecting the DOM node to the SVG.js interface. All this is done automatically when the value of `create` is a string identifying an element type. If needed, see the source for a sense of how to do it explicitly. - -Though the defaults are geared toward creating svg elements for the SVG.js framework, `SVG.invent()` can be used as a generalized function for defining types in Javascript. When used in this more general way, the function supplied as a value for `create` should be written as an ordinary JS constructor. (Indeed, the function is simply returned as the constructor for your newly defined type.) - -Svg.js uses the `SVG.invent()` function to create all internal elements. A look at the source will show how this function is used in various ways. - - - -### SVG.extend() -SVG.js has a modular structure. It is very easy to add your own methods at different levels. Let's say we want to add a method to all shape types then we would add our method to SVG.Shape: - -```javascript -SVG.extend(SVG.Shape, { - paintRed: function() { - return this.fill('red') - } -}) -``` - -Now all shapes will have the paintRed method available. Say we want to have the paintRed method on an ellipse apply a slightly different color: - -```javascript -SVG.extend(SVG.Ellipse, { - paintRed: function() { - return this.fill('orangered') - } -}) - -``` -The complete inheritance stack for `SVG.Ellipse` is: - -_`SVG.Ellipse` < `SVG.Shape` < `SVG.Element`_ - -The SVG document can be extended by using: - -```javascript -SVG.extend(SVG.Doc, { - paintAllPink: function() { - this.each(function() { - this.fill('pink') - }) - } -}) -``` - -You can also extend multiple elements at once: -```javascript -SVG.extend(SVG.Ellipse, SVG.Path, SVG.Polygon, { - paintRed: function() { - return this.fill('orangered') - } -}) -``` - - -## Plugins -Here are a few nice plugins that are available for SVG.js: - -### pathmorphing -[svg.pathmorphing.js](https://github.com/svgdotjs/svg.pathmorphing.js) to make path animatable - -### textmorphing -[svg.textmorph.js](https://github.com/svgdotjs/svg.textmorph.js) to make text animatable - -### absorb -[svg.absorb.js](https://github.com/svgdotjs/svg.absorb.js) absorb raw SVG data into an SVG.js instance. - -### draggable -[svg.draggable.js](https://github.com/svgdotjs/svg.draggable.js) to make elements draggable. - -### connectable -[svg.connectable.js](https://github.com/jillix/svg.connectable.js) to connect elements. - -[svg.connectable.js fork](https://github.com/loredanacirstea/svg.connectable.js) to connect elements (added: curved connectors, you can use any self-made path as a connector, choosable 'center'/'perifery' attachment, 'perifery' attachment for source / target SVG Paths uses smallest-distance algorithm between PathArray points) - -### easing -[svg.easing.js](https://github.com/svgdotjs/svg.easing.js) for more easing methods on animations. - -### export -[svg.export.js](https://github.com/svgdotjs/svg.export.js) export raw SVG. - -### filter -[svg.filter.js](https://github.com/svgdotjs/svg.filter.js) adding svg filters to elements. - -### foreignobject -[svg.foreignobject.js](https://github.com/john-memloom/svg.foreignobject.js) foreignObject implementation (by john-memloom). - -### import -[svg.import.js](https://github.com/svgdotjs/svg.import.js) import raw SVG data. - -### intersections -[svg.intersections.js](https://github.com/amatiash/svg.intersections.js) find intersections of paths and lines (by amatiash) - -### math -[svg.math.js](https://github.com/otm/svg.math.js) a math extension (by Nils Lagerkvist). - -### path -[svg.path.js](https://github.com/otm/svg.path.js) for manually drawing paths (by Nils Lagerkvist). - -## screenBBox -[svg.screenbbox.js](https://github.com/fuzzyma/svg.screenbbox.js) to get the bbox in screen coordinates from transformed path/polygon/polyline - -### shapes -[svg.shapes.js](https://github.com/svgdotjs/svg.shapes.js) for more polygon based shapes. - -### topath -[svg.topath.js](https://github.com/svgdotjs/svg.topath.js) to convert any other shape to a path. - -### topoly -[svg.topoly.js](https://github.com/svgdotjs/svg.topoly.js) to convert a path to polygon or polyline. - -### wiml -[svg.wiml.js](https://github.com/svgdotjs/svg.wiml.js) a templating language for svg output. - -### comic -[comic.js](https://github.com/balint42/comic.js) to cartoonize any given svg. - -### draw -[svg.draw.js](https://github.com/fuzzyma/svg.draw.js) to draw elements with your mouse - -### select -[svg.select.js](https://github.com/fuzzyma/svg.select.js) to select elements - -### resize -[svg.resize.js](https://github.com/fuzzyma/svg.resize.js) to resize elements with your mouse - -## Contributing -We love contributions.

Although it is not required to assign them at the same moment. When if statements are involved, requiring some variables only to be present in the statement, the necessary variables should be declared right after the if statement. - -__Good__: -```javascript -function reading_board() { - var aap, noot, mies - - aap = 1 - noot = 2 - mies = aap + noot -} -``` - -__Bad__: -```javascript -function reading_board() { - var aap = 1 - var noot = 2 - var mies = aap + noot -} -``` - -### Let your code breathe people! -Don't try to be a code compressor yourself, they do way a better job anyway. Give your code some spaces and newlines. - -__Good__: -```javascript -var nest = draw.nested().attr({ - x: 10 -, y: 20 -, width: 200 -, height: 300 -}) - -for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) - nest.circle(100) -``` - -__Bad__: -```javascript -var nest=draw.nested().attr({x:10,y:20,width:200,height:300}); -for(var i=0;i<5;i++)nest.circle(100); -``` - -### It won't hurt to add a few comments -Where necessary tell us what you are doing but be concise. We only use single-line comments. Also keep your variable and method names short while maintaining readability. - -__Good__: -```javascript -// Adds orange-specific methods -SVG.extend(SVG.Rect, { - // Add a nice, transparent orange - orangify: function() { - // fill with orange color - this.fill('orange') - - // add a slight opacity - return this.opacity(0.85) - } -}) -``` - -__Bad__: -```javascript -/* - * - * does something with orange and opacity - * - */ -SVG.extend(SVG.Rect, { - orgf: function() { - return this.fill('orange').opacity(0.85) - } -}) -``` - -### Refactor your code -Once your implementation is ready, revisit and rework it. We like to keep it [DRY](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself). - -### Test. Your. Code. -It's not that hard to write at least one example per implementation, although we prefer more. Your code might seem to work by quickly testing it in your browser but more than often you can't forsee everything. - -Before running the specs you will need to build the library. Be aware that pull requests without specs will be declined. - - -## Building -After contributing you probably want to build the library to run some specs. Make sure you have Node.js installed on your system, `cd` to the svg.js directory and run: - -```sh -$ npm install -``` - -Build SVG.js by running `gulp`: - -```sh -$ npm run build -``` - -The resulting files are: - -1. `dist/svg.js` -2. `dist/svg.min.js` - -## Testing -There is two ways to run the test suite. One is from the command line and the other is in your browser. -To run the test suite at the command line, you need to have Firefox installed. - -```sh -$ npm test -``` - -To run the test suite in your default browser, simply open `/spec/SpecRunner.html`. Usually by double click. - -If you are the cautious type, you might want to read, -[before you push](https://github.com/svgdotjs/svg.js/wiki/Before-you-push) -, on how to prevent pushing failing commits. - -## Compatibility - -### Desktop -- Firefox 3+ -- Chrome 4+ -- Safari 3.2+ -- Opera 9+ -- IE9+ - -### Mobile -- iOS Safari 3.2+ -- Android Browser 3+ -- Opera Mobile 10+ -- Chrome for Android 18+ -- Firefox for Android 15+ - -Visit the [SVG.js test page](http://svgjs.com/test) if you want to check compatibility with different browsers. - -## Acknowledgements & Thanks - -Documentation kindly provided by [DocumentUp](http://documentup.com) - -SVG.js and its documentation is released under the terms of the MIT license. diff --git a/bower.json b/bower.json index 87d3d7c..8480d11 100644 --- a/bower.json +++ b/bower.json @@ -1,8 +1,10 @@ { "name": "svg.js", - "homepage": "http://svgjs.com/", + "homepage": "https://svgdotjs.github.io/", "authors": [ - "Wout Fierens " + "Wout Fierens ", + "Ulrich-Matthias Schäfer ", + "Jon Ege Ronnenberg " ], "description": "A lightweight library for manipulating and animating SVG", "main": "dist/svg.js", diff --git a/package.json b/package.json index 5be57fe..637de54 100644 --- a/package.json +++ b/package.json @@ -2,15 +2,15 @@ "name": "svg.js", "version": "2.3.6", "description": "A lightweight library for manipulating and animating SVG.", - "url": "http://svgjs.com", - "homepage": "http://www.svgjs.com", + "url": "https://svgdotjs.github.io/", + "homepage": "https://svgdotjs.github.io/", "keywords": [ "svg", "vector", "graphics", "animation" ], - "author": "Wout Fierens ", + "author": "Wout Fierens ", "main": "dist/svg.js", "jam": { "include": [ @@ -22,8 +22,8 @@ "maintainers": [ { "name": "Wout Fierens", - "email": "wout@mick-wout.com.com", - "web": "http://svgjs.com" + "email": "wout@mick-wout.com", + "web": "https://svgdotjs.github.io/" }, { "name": "Alex Ewerlöf", -- 2.39.5
