So I have this logo that fits the whole page. Is there anyway that, when the browser is resized I can move these paths? That way the height stays the same?
Example of what I want to achieve
Here's my svg code
<svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
viewBox="0 0 1440 52" style="enable-background:new 0 0 1440 52;" xml:space="preserve">
<path d="M1428.4,6.9c-2.5-2.5-6-3.7-10.5-3.7h-7.6h-9.5v19.1H16.3V3.1H7.8v46.8h8.5V30.7h1384.5v19.1h0h9.4V30.6h7.5

</svg>
you can do something like this by using preserveAspectRatio="none" for the svg element together with a fixed height and width:100%. This would give tou what you need but the the stroke would be scaled differently on the vertical and horizontal.
To fix it you need to add vector-effect="non-scaling-stroke" for the path.
svg{height:100px; width:100%}
<svg viewBox="0 0 100 20" preserveAspectRatio="none">
<path stroke="black" stroke-width="5" vector-effect="non-scaling-stroke" d="M 1,5V15M1,10H97"/>
</svg>
Yes it is possible, with a bit of trickery. Below is a modified verion of your SVG that behaves how you want.
This matches your SVG exactly, but has a limitation. The trick we are using relies on extending the middle bar a long way to the left. Then covering up the left end of the bar with your vertical piece. But in your original SVG the vertical piece is not right at the left end of your SVG. So I've had to hide some of the extension with a white rectangle. This assumes your background will also be white. If it isn't you'll need to change that white rectangle to be the same colour as your page background.

<rect x="7.8" y="3.1" width="8.5" height="46.8"/>
</svg>
If you want to get a better idea how the trick works, have a look at this version. I've modified the SVG to make the trick more apparent.
svg {
background-color: red;
overflow: visible;
}
rect {
opacity: 0.5;
}
<svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="100%" height="52">
<defs>
<path id="middle-and-right" transform="translate(-1440 0)"

v19.1h0h9.4V30.6h7.5 c2.3,0,4.3-0.3,6-1c1.8-0.7,3.3-1.7,4.5-2.9c1.2-1.2,2.2-2.7,2.8-4.5c0.7-1.7,1-3.6,1-5.8C1432.2,12.1,1430.9,9.4,1428.4,6.9z
M1421.4,20.1c-1,1-2.8,1.9-5.2,2h-6v-12h6c2.3,0,4,0.6,5.2,1.8s1.7,2.7,1.7,4.4C1423.1,18.5,1421.8,19.8,1421.4,20.1z" />
</defs>
<use xlink:href="#middle-and-right" x="100%"/>
<rect x="-1" y="3.1" width="10" height="46.8" fill="white"/>
<rect x="7.8" y="3.1" width="8.5" height="46.8"/>
</svg>
However if you don't mind the vertical piece on the left end being moved so it's hard up against the left side of the SVG, then we can remove that restriction regarding the background. The new version below will work for any page background colour.
<svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="100%" height="52">

<rect x="0" y="3.1" width="8.5" height="46.8"/>
</svg>
I want to center the rect shape with something equivalent to
transform="translate(50% - 100,0)" for example:
<svg width="100%" height="100%" viewbox="0 0 100% 100%">
<g transform="translate(50% - 100,0)">
<rect width="200" height="100" fill="rgb(0,0,255)" />
</g>
</svg>
I can't find the right syntax.
You can use an inner <svg> element to do the percentage part via its x attribute then the rest with the <g> element as you already have.
I'm not sure what you intend with the viewBox but percentage values are not valid there. Looks like you just don't need that at all.
<svg width="100%" height="100%">
<svg x="50%" overflow="visible">
<g transform="translate(-100,0)">
<rect width="200" height="100" fill="rgb(0,0,255)" />
</g>
</svg>
</svg>
I have the following SVG graphic that is currently scaling when the window is resized, but the aspect ratio is maintained. How could I get this to only scale on the X axis, and keep the Y at 80px?
<svg width="100%" viewBox="0 0 300 80">
<rect x="0" y="0" fill="yellow" height="80" width="100"/>
<rect x="100" y="0" fill="blue" height="80" width="100"/>
<rect x="200" y="0" fill="red" height="80" width="100"/>
</svg>
Thank you,
You have a couple of options. First, you could simply specify the height of the graphic, e.g. using CSS.
svg {
height: 80px;
width: 100%;
}
If that's not the effect you want, you can get more sophisticated with the preserveAspectRatio attribute. It's hard to say what value would work for you since it's not completely clear what you want (assuming the CSS approach above doesn't do it), but maybe something like:
<svg viewBox="0 0 300 80" preserveAspectRatio="none">

How can I use the polygon as a mask, which will make the area in the circle transparent?
I cannot manage it
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="50" />
<polygon points="20,30 25,20 80,40 80,60 25,80, 20,70 70,50"/>
</svg>
Masks are quite simple. They are described here: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/masking.html#Masking
In your case, it is just a matter of adding a few lines.
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="50" mask="url(#hole)"/>
<mask id="hole">
<rect x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" fill="white"/>
<polygon points="20,30 25,20 80,40 80,60 25,80, 20,70 70,50" fill="black"/>
</mask>
</svg>
In the mask definition, we have to add a white rectangle the size of the circle to make the <circle> visible (white means opaque), and we make the <polygon> black (transparent) to create the hole.
Fiddle here
I'd say try using Inkscape to make an SVG file, draw your items on each other, select them both and use the Path->Exclusion menu to do so. Save your file and then you can look at the code of the .svg file to see what it did.
fiIs it possible to Mask an SVGPattern?
I've made the following SVG, but I can't get the mask to work.
Or should I be using clipPath?
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg width="160px" height="600px" viewBox="0 0 160 600" version="1.1"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<defs>
<pattern id="circlePattern" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse"
x="0" y="0" width="10" height="10"
viewBox="0 0 10 10" fill="blue" >
<circle cx='4' cy='4' r='4'/>
</pattern>
<clipPath id="clipPath" maskUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
<rect x="0" y="0" width="200" height="100" fill="white" />
</clipPath>
</defs>
<!-- Outline the drawing area in blue -->
<g id="box">
<rect fill="url(#circlePattern)" width="160" height="600" clip-path="url(#clipPath)"/>
</g>
</svg>
UPDATE: (I would like to use this complex path)
I can't seem to use this path to create the mask/clipPath

Your mask rect has no fill specified so it will use the default which is black i.e. i.e. rgba(0, 0, 0, 1). So the luminance of the mask is 0 everywhere and you see nothing.
If you change the fill on the mask <rect> to fill="white" you'll see the mask act as a clip which would seem to be what you're looking for. Other colours like "orange" or "blue" as they have a luminance which is neither 0 nor 1 will give you an intermediate effect.
clipPaths clip a shape to a boundary. Masks generally modify colours, you can use them to clip by having a white mask but if all you want is to clip something then a clipPath is faster.
clipPaths and masks can contain any graphics element including a path.
