I'm generating an SVG in a web app and allowing users to save it; the SVG embeds the styles in the header of the image.
When a user opens it in their browser (testing in Chrome) it style properly:
However in Illustrator it seems the styles aren't being applied:
What am I missing? Download the actual SVG here.
The problem is really with Illustrator's SVG importer.
You probably have to choose between two solutions:
Tell your users that saved SVGs won't work with some programs (like Illustrator)
Modify your graph generating code so that it doesn't rely on CSS classes.
For example: change the elements that use
class="link"
To instead set the style properties explicitly:
fill="none" stroke="#aaa" stroke-width="2px"
Or maybe you can find a script on the net somewhere that does that for you.

Does anybody know if SVG iconsets are working as of the current version? (1.0.7)
I'm strugling to use some custom svg with the md-icon directive but I haven't managed to see anything on the screen. Is there something broken or it's simply not implemented?
Any example of how to create and use an svg iconset file?
I know I can use the md-svg-src attribute to load one specific svg file providing its url, but that forces me to have all svgs on separated files and it also doesn't play well with the template cache.
Note: I'm using SVGs for the icons, not an icon font.
I've been doing some stuff in Illustrator and I have a problem with saving a project in to SVG file that I open in webbrowser, It just looks different.
And it hapens only in SVG, if I save it to PDF or PNG it looks how it should.
What am I doing wrong?
That's how it looks in Ai
That's how it looks in webbrowser
Here's a link to download rar file with .ai and .svg that I have.
Since all browsers render it the same way, it would seem likely that this is a bug in the AI SVG export filter.
To me it looks like you are applying a blend mode ("Overlay" perhaps?) to the white parts on top of the image. That effect ought to be reproducible using SVG filters, but perhaps AI's exporter doesn't support that yet.
If you are using an "odd" blend mode, try changing it, or reproducing the effect another way.
Individual pixel control needed in identical svg conversion is not possible. SVG creates only specific shapes. The Ai app conversion seems to use opacity to provide the color shades. You could probably tweek opacity and add some svg filters to improve the svg.
Print your design in a . pdf file instead of exporting it directly. Then open the printed .pdf back in Illustrator and export the .svg from this one, it shoud do the trick.
Would like to take my logo made in illustrator then turn it into a svg so that i can then use Raphael to animate it. I know how to make a simple image by creating my own path using lineTo.
Didn't know if this is possible or not.
Thank you
Once you save your logo created with Illustrator as svg file, there is a way to convert the SVG into a Raphael object and then you can use it with Raphael library.
Chack out this website: http://irunmywebsite.com/raphael/SVGTOHTML_LIVE.php
If you can, open the page with Firefox. Chrome messes up the page. Good Luck.
Well, if its just the path you need without the colors, stroke widths etc, i would save the illustrator logo as an SVG and then open it with a text editor(say Notepad).
From there i would extract the d attribute as a path and manually add the rest of its ''features'' like colors,stroke widths etc.
I've a web page in which there is a SVG box <svg id='graph'>...</svg>.
I would like to give to the user the possibility to zoom in the SVG box.
I use for this purpose document.getElementById("graph").currentScale*=2; if I want to double the size of the box, for example.
The problem is that all the window is resized, even the HTML elements outside the box.
Do you know the origin of this problem please ?
In order to apply zoom to only svg , use this...
<svg>
<g transform="scale(2)">
</g>
</svg>
This may be off the mark without knowing which browser you're using, but you may not be able to implement currentScale if you're using anything other than Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge. You can test this for yourself by trying this JSBin in different browsers and see where it scales.
Diving into this deeper, a Google search of "SVG currentScale" found these bug threads from Google and Mozilla discussing similar issues. The Mozilla thread discusses it was a choice made specifically for consistency's sake. SVG's currentScale only applies to container elements and not to inner elements. This could interfere with functions like zoomAndPan used on inner SVG elements. Additionally, better cross-browser solutions are already in place such as scale() via the transform property.
i want to acheive the effect on this page using SVG. As you can see it uses a series of PNG transparent overlays when the user mouses over a polygonal hotspot drawn on a product.
What i want to achieve is the same thing with SVG, but without messing about with creating a load of PNGs, so that when the user mouses over an area the transparent shape (with link on it) appears over the top. The SVG shape would be built from a set of coordinates exactly as a polygonal hotspot would on an image map.
So i guess my first question is, can this be done with plain old SVG or do i need to use something like Raphael to achieve this? Never seen this effect before with SVG so if anyone has an example like that would be very useful.
Thanks in advance.
There are several ways to get this effect with plain old SVG. Probably the simplest is to use CSS within the SVG. For example:
<style>
.overlay:hover
{
opacity: 0.5;
}
</style>
<svg>
<a xlink:href="http://www.wherever/you/want/to/link/to.com">
<path class="overlay" d="Coordinates of your shape..." />
</a>
</svg>
I've written about various other methods at:
http://www.petercollingridge.co.uk/data-visualisation/mouseover-effects-svgs
Yes it can be done with SVG only, with or without javascript.
One way to get the effect would be to overlay a white semi-transparent path on top of the image that you want to whiten. Another way would be to use an SVG filter to process the image directly, similar to what I've done here or here to recolor a PNG (view page source and feel free to reuse that in any way you like).
You'll want to make use of the 'pointer-events' property most likely. Here's an example showing how to detect mouse-events on the fill and/or stroke of an svg shape, even if the shape is invisible.
