I have some SVG elements grouped together in a <g> element (exactly the barcode 1D, PHP generates a barcode).
<g
style="fill:#000000;stroke:none"
id="barcode1D"
transform="matrix(1.2083333,0,0,0.8247805,62.027778,573.54235)">
<rect
x="0"
y="0"
width="4"
height="30"
id="xyz" />
....
<rect
x="224"
y="0"
width="0"
height="30"
id="xyzn" /> </g>
The barcode is generated in various widths, lengths. How can I set the width permanently ?
Based on this example, I am asking for a hint. Thank you for your help in advance.
SVG g element does not have width and height attributes. Therefore, you can not set height and width on it.
You should use a foreignObject with a svg inside of it to do so.
<svg width="640" height="480" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<foreignObject id="G" width="300" height="200">
<svg>
<!-- Barcode here -->
<rect fill="black" stroke-width="2" height="112" width="84" y="55" x="55" stroke="#000000"/>
<circle fill="#FF0000" stroke="#000000" stroke-width="5" cx="155" cy="65" id="svg_7" r="50"/>
</svg>
</foreignObject>
</svg>
How can I make this
to look like this
So I want to halve the text element. I don't want to hide half of the text outside of SVG. Hiding it outside of g would be ok, but haven't found solution.
<svg width="500" height="500">
<g transform="translate(50,50)">
<rect width="80" height="50" style="fill:rgb(0,0,255);"/>
<text font-size="40" x="0" y="15" fill="black">SVG</text>
</g>
</svg>
JSFIDDLE:
http://jsfiddle.net/64nkLcdy/
Use the clip-path property :
<svg width="500" height="500">
<defs>
<clipPath id="myClip">
<rect width="80" height="50" />
</clipPath>
</defs>
<g transform="translate(50,50)">
<rect width="80" height="50" style="fill:rgb(0,0,255);" />
<text font-size="40" x="0" y="15" fill="black" clip-path="url(#myClip)">SVG</text>
</g>
</svg>
Use an <svg> element rather than a <g> as the svg element will clip its contents by default. The overflow property controls clipping i.e overflow="visible" doesn't clip but overflow="hidden" does.
<svg width="500" height="500">
<svg transform="translate(50,50)" width="80" height="50" overflow="hidden">
<rect width="80" height="50" style="fill:rgb(0,0,255);"/>
<text font-size="40" x="0" y="15" fill="black">SVG</text>
</svg>
</svg>
I am trying to create an SVG sprite.
I have set the SVG image to be 100px wide, 50px height, then offset the second by 50.
How can I set the size of the actual icon? Currently, the icon is huge and not 50px.

This is what I see:
DO NOT USE TRANSFORM FOR SCALING
What you are missing is a defined viewBox.
If you do not define a viewBox the viewBox is the same size as the height and width that you defined.
So when you draw a path and some of its point are above 370 then they will be outside its container. Since your defined size is 100 width by 50 height. Any point with values higher then the size will not be drawn.
when you define a viewBox you can change the size without affecting what is drawn or not.

Like this? I just added transform="scale(0.1)" attribute to the g tag to make it 10x smaller

I'm trying to reuse an SVG sprite icone into new SVG object.
The new object is just a circle that contains the icon from the sprite.
I understand that I need to use the defs tag to group some shapes together,
But i have have a problem referencing my sprite icone inside the defs tag.
sprite:
<svg style="display:none;">
<symbol id="icon_1" viewBox="0 0 54 54">
<path d="M10.6 29.3h14.5V44H10.6z" class="st0"/>
<path d="M25 29.3h14.5V44H25zm-7.2-14.7h14.5v14.7H17.8zm0 0l3.9-4m10.6 4l3.9-4m-3.9 18l3.9-3.7m-25.6 4.4l4.3-4.4m24.6 4.7l3.9-4M39.5 44l3.9-4M21.2 10.6h15M14.5 24.9h3.3m17.7.6h7.9M36.2 10v15.5m7.2.1V40" class="st0"/>
</symbol >
new object:
<svg><defs>
<g id="shape">
<circle cx="40" cy="40" r="40" fill="rgba(124,240,10,0.5)" />
<image x="0" y="0" xlink:href="#icon_1"></image>
</g>
I read that i can use image tags to reference SVG elements.
obviously i'm doing something wrong.
Basically the expected result should be a stroked circle with the icon inside
in a way that I will be able to animate the entire object
Thanks
You were close. Your main problem was that you were careless with your opening and closing tags.
Your second SVG had a stray opening <defs> element, which meant that the <g id="shape"> element was left inside the <defs> section. <defs> is for defining elements to be re-used later, and anything in a <defs> will only be drawn when referenced from elsewhere.
There were a couple of other problems.
You can't use an <image> to reference a symbol. You will need to use a <use> for that.
You will need to supply a width and height so that the symbol gets draw at an appropriate size.
<svg width="0" height="0">

The image tag is designed to be used with complete images, not fractions. I guess that use is the right tag for your use case.

Also, if the sprite is in a separate file, you have to reference the symbol within that file: <use hlink:href="sprites.svg#icon1"/>.
I'd like to place a single character, perfectly centered, inside this circle:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" width="100" height="100">
<g>
<circle style="fill:#eeeeee" cx="50" cy="50" r="50">
</circle>
<text>C</text>
</g>
</svg>
Ideally, the solution works for any single ASCII character.
Thanks for the help!
Use a combination of text-anchor="middle" to centre the text horizontally, and dominant-baseline="central" to centre it vertically.
To simplify things, I've added a transform attribute to your <g> element to move the origin to the middle of your canvas.
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="100" height="100" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<g transform="translate(50,50)">
<circle style="fill:#eeeeee" r="50" />
<text text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="central">C</text>
</g>
</svg>
