Polymer - Load custom icons via iron-iconset-svg - svg
I am working on an app that uses Polymer. I need to include the IcoMoon Free Fonts into my app. For some reason, I can't get the icons into my app. Here is what I've tried:
Selected all of the icons at the link above.
Clicked the "Generate SVG, PNG, PDF" button in the lower left.
Clicked the "Download" button in the lower left.
Extracted the .zip file contents into a directory.
Opened the symbol-defs.svg file in a text editor.
Copied the defs element and all of its contents.
Created a file called "icomoon.html"
Put the following code in icomoon.html, based on this:
icomoon.html
<iron-iconset-svg name="icomoon" size="100">
<svg>
<!-- Code copied in step 6 placed here -->
</svg>
</iron-iconset-svg>
In my element, I add <link rel="import" href="[path]/icomoon.html">
I then attempt to use an icon by saying <iron-icon icon="icomoon:icon-home"></iron-icon>.
The icon doesn't appear. I don't understand why.
Update
icomoon.html
<link rel="import" href="../bower/iron-icon/iron-icon.html">
<link rel="import" href="../bower/iron-iconset-svg/iron-iconset-svg.html">
<iron-iconset-svg name="icomoon" size="50">
<svg>
<defs>
<path id="home" d="M1024 590.446l-512-397.428-512 397.428v-162.038l512-397.426 512 397.428zM896 576v384h-768v-384l384-288z"></path>
</defs>
</svg>
</iron-iconset-svg>
Just had a look at the icomoon icons.
I couldn't get the home icon to show up but
I found this works:
<g id="icon-spades" viewBox="0 0 38 38">
<path d="M25.549 10.88c-6.049-4.496-8.133-8.094-9.549-10.88v0c-0 0-0-0-0-0v0c-1.415 2.785-3.5 6.384-9.549 10.88-10.314 7.665-0.606 18.365 7.93 12.476-0.556 3.654-2.454 6.318-4.381 7.465v1.179h12.001v-1.179c-1.928-1.147-3.825-3.811-4.382-7.465 8.535 5.889 18.244-4.811 7.93-12.476z"/>
</g>
Its doesn't show up without the viewbox
Here is an example for a FontAwesome iconset.
I use an SVG element to display characters from an icon font. Therefore there might be some differences to your use case. The element structure is from Dart so don't wonder if it looks weird.
I had to add
<bwu-fontawesome-iconset-svg></bwu-fontawesome-iconset-svg>
to make the icons available. examle code
i had to import some custom svg to my iconset
I did it like that :
<iron-iconset-svg name="custom" size="50">
<svg><defs>
<g id="temp"><path d="M31.666,39.707c0,3.675-2.99,6.664-6.667,6.664c-3.675,0-6.665-2.989-6.665-6.664c0-2.484,1.371-4.748,3.58-5.904

by the way, you can add how many svg in a as you want
Don't forget to import this file, then you can use your icon :
<iron-icon icon="custom:temp"></iron-icon>

Embedded SVG into Inkscape
I have a SVG file (an exported Gliffy diagram) that I want to open and edit in Inkscape. When viewing the code of the file using the developer options of Chrome, it looks like:
<svg xmlns="...>
<g transform="...>
<image xlink:href="data:image/svg+xml,%0A%20...></image>
</g>
... (about 20 more <g>...</g> tags)
</svg>
When decoding the part starting with %0A%20..., it translates to something like
data:image/svg xml,
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="50000" width="50000">
<style>
.gliffy-rte-text {
...
The issue is, that in Inkscape those parts will be replaced by a placeholder telling me "Linked image not found" and as speculated here, Inkscape most likely is not able to read the CSS styling correctly or probably at all.
I would very much appreciate any thoughts or ideas on how to convert the file such that it can be edited and displayed correctly in Inkscape.
You might convert all styling to element attributes using SVGOMG:
replace your embedded <image> element by the decoded data url content. Your parent svg should look something like this:
<!-- parent svg -->
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" >
<!-- embedded svg decoded data url -->
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="50000" width="50000">
<style>
.gliffy-rte-text {
}
</style>
</svg>
</svg>
Use SVGOMG "inline styles" and "style to attribute"parameter:
You should disable all other optimizing parameter, since they might strip to many other attributes.
Expected before result
<svg viewBox="0 0 256 256" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<style>
circle{
fill:none;
stroke: orange;
stroke-width:10;
}
</style>
<circle cx="128" cy="128" r="100"/>
</svg>
After
<svg viewBox="0 0 256 256" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<circle cx="128" cy="128" r="100" fill="none" stroke="orange" stroke-width="10"/>
</svg>
Open the wrapper file in a browser. Right-click on the area containing the embedded SVG, and choose "Save (image) as...". If the wrapper contains multiple <image> tags, you will have to save them to separate files, but at least they will be in a form Inkscape can handle. If you want to get them all together in one SVG file again, you will have to re-import them via the Inkscape import function. Take care to select 'Include as editable object', or you will end up right where you started: The speculations above about CSS are unsubstantiated, btw. Inkscape will convert the content of a <style> element into inline style attributes, but otherwise handle them correctly. What happened is stated quite clearly in the above screenshot: data URLs embeded via an <image> tag will not be editable in Inkscape.
External sprite.svg shadow-root empty icons not showing
I am working with gulp-sprite trying to load svgs into a styleguide. I have created the icon.svg, but when I try to display them in a different HTML file using xlink:href the svgs aren't showing. The shadow-root is empty. I have tried multiple things, this works in Edge, but no other browser. I have even got it to work including the sprite, but hiding it within the html. <!-- icon in html --> <svg> <use xlink:href="assets/images/icons.svg#BlueCard"></use> </svg> <!-- external svg file --> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><symbol viewBox="0 0 72 64" id="BlueCard"><path d=...></symbol></svg> I expect the icon to be there and the shadow root to not be empty. Should include the path
Best way to convert icon image to svg with <path> tag
I'm learning to work with svg icons and now trying to directly extract icons from psd. With adobe photoshop 2017 it's possible to export image as svg code. However in this code instead of tag is generated tag (as I understand this is base64 encoding?!). Because of that I can't modify icons, for example, give them different color (fill) etc. My question is - what is the best way to convert image to svg, so that it would contain tag, preferable with photoshop? Basically, I want something like this: <svg fill="#000000" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <path clip-rule="evenodd" d="M0 0h24v24H0z" fill="none"/> <path d="M22.7 19l-9.1-9.4z"/> And this is approximately what I get using photoshop: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="34" height="48" viewBox="0 0 34 48"> <metadata><?xpacket begin="" id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?> <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="Adobe XMP Core 5.6-c138 79.159824, 2016/09/14-01:09:01 "> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"> <rdf:Description rdf:about=""/> </rdf:RDF> </x:xmpmeta> <?xpacket end="w"?></metadata> <image width="34" height="48" xlink:href="data:img/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACIAAAAwCA0gTiVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACIAAAAwCA0gTiVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACIAAAAwCA0gT="/> </svg> P.S. I tried several online decoders from base64, but didn't find them useful.
After all I found most useful this tool - vectormagic (editor's note: after going through the process, it asks you for $10 to download your result). It convert to svg fast and very precise, and you don't have to do a lot of customization. On the image, first icon is inkscape result and second is from vector magic. Maybe I missed something in inkscape for the result to be this perfect. In that case please point it out. Anyway, vector magic saves a lot of time and I haven't found flaws with it..yet.
1.- Open your icon with Illustrator. 2.- Clic in file > export > export to screen. 3.- Select the svg extention and save. 3.- Open your svg file with a browser 4.- Clic in Inspect Element (or F12) That's all, in the elements tab is your svg code path
Making SVG 'symbol' Accessible
I am looking for clarification about combining <title> and <desc> with the element for Accessibility. Is the following a valid implemention? <svg> <title>This is an SVG</title> <desc">Lorem ipsum descriptum...</desc> <use xlink:href="#symbolID"></use> </svg> Or would you place it in the <symbol> element like this? <symbol id="symbolID"> <title>This is an svg</title> <desc>Lorem ipsum ...</desc> <path d="......"/> </symbol> Would screen readers be able to pick these up?
Add a role="img" and a screen reader can pick it up. It may announce both the <title> and the <desc> depending on screen reader, browser, and versions of each. For a little extra compatibility you can added aria-labelledby to tell the screen reader where to look for the explicit accessible name (which also means it may not announce the <desc>). Some combos may read the <title> twice as a result, too, so it behooves you to be brief. <a href="#"> foo <svg role="img" aria-labelledby="twitterTitle"> <title id="twitterTitle">Twitter Account</title> <desc>Twitter account for example</desc> <use xlink:href="#twitter"/> </svg> </a> I forked your CodePen and marked it up. You may have already seen these two articles, but if not: Tips for Creating Accessible SVG at SitePoint by Léonie Watson, Accessible SVGs at CSS-Tricks by Heather Migliorisi.
Accessing external SVG graphics with the USE tag
Dear Stack Overflow, I am trying to reference individual SVG graphics which reside in different SVG files via the tag and ID numbers in a master HTML5 page. I want to be able to put onclicks on the use tags in the HTML page in order to make a multiple choice quiz (and then keep a score which I know how to do), The graphics are going to be bulky. Therefore, these need to be in an external svg files. Here however, I have used a simple rectangle to make my question easier to follow Here is my HTML <html> <head></head> <body> <svg> <use xlink:href="LINK.svg#link" /> </svg> </body> </html> and here is My SVG <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <g id="link"> <rect x="0" y="0" width="50" height="50" style="fill:red"/> </g> </svg> This works exactly the way I want it to in Firefox and Opera. However, it does not work in Chrome or Safari. Not sure about Internet Explorer Is there an alternative method that will allow me external access to the SVG data, and scripting from the main HTML page (because I want can keep a score over multiple SVG elements)
You could access your SVG by using an <object> tag. This link shows you how to script from html to SVG and vice versa.
