Moving an SVG clip path - svg

I'm trying to get the svg clip path to move with the svg element, but the two seem to be attached. I'm basically looking to make a mouse moveable clip, and it needs to all be implemented in javascript. What's going on?
var clip = document.getElementById('svgPath');
var goggles = document.getElementById('gogglesMain');
var blur = document.getElementById('blur');
var mouse = {x:100, y:100};
//mouse listener to move goggles
document.addEventListener('mousemove', mouseListen, false);
function mouseListen(e){
mouse.x = e.clientX || e.pageX;
mouse.y = e.clientY || e.pageY;
gogglesMain.style.left = mouse.x - 300 + "px";
gogglesMain.style.top = mouse.y - 100 + "px";
}

I'm not clear on exactly what you are trying to do, but it sounds like you think that moving the SVG, that contains a <clipPath>, will also move the clipped area of the div you are clipping with it.
That is not the case. Any clipPath that you are using from CSS is totally independent of the position of the SVG that it is a part of. You are just borrowing the clipPath definition from it.
If you want to change the area that's clipped, you would have to move the clipPath itself. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be reliable at the moment.
For example, the following demo almost works.

Why isn't this mask working in Phaser?

I must be missing something...why isn't this working? Instead of clipping to the circle the entire 800x800 backdrop image is displayed...
var mask;
var img;
function preload() {
game.load.image('back', 'backdrop.jpg');
}
function create() {
img = game.add.image(game.world.centerX, game.world.centerY,'back').anchor.setTo(0.5);
mask = game.add.graphics(0, 0);
mask.beginFill(0xffffff);
mask.drawCircle(game.world.centerX, game.world.centerY, 600);
img.mask = mask;
}
jsfiddle here
Disclaimer: I have no formal experience in phaser.io
I was able to fix this in your fiddle by changing
img = game.add.image(game.world.centerX, game.world.centerY,'back').anchor.setTo(0.5);
to
img = game.add.image(0, 0, 'back');
JSFiddle Fork
I would assume that placing the image in the centerX,centerY position results in the mask being offset of the image. Hopefully someone with more experience than I could explain the specifics here, but I will research further and update my answer as I figure out the why to go along with the how.
Update
Okay so I've done some digging through the documentation. First, you want to use img = game.add.image(0, 0, 'back'); due to the fact that the x and y parameters in this case dictate the upper-left origin of the image, not the center. By using game.world.centerX and game.world.centerY you are trying to throw the background image to the center of the canvas even though the canvas is the same size as the image.
using .anchor.setTo(0.5) from what I can gather, is attempting to set the anchor point at which the image originates to the centerX position. However, when you remove this anchor, suddenly the mask works, even though it is not showing correctly (because the position of the background image is incorrect).
Theory - By anchoring the image, I believe that it is no longer possible to apply a mask to it. By all experimenting that I've done, having an anchor set on the background image prevents it from being masked, so the mask simply is added as a child to img and is placed as it's center, thus why you are seeing the white circle instead of the circle properly masking the image.
it appears I was a mistaken about the fluidity of the api in trying to chain that last function call... if I break it up:
img = game.add.image(game.world.centerX, game.world.centerY, 'back');
img.anchor.setTo(0.5);
it now works!

it doesn't work.
Any suggestion?
The problem is simply that your SVG isn't big enough to make the path visible -- note in particular how you're first moving more than 100 pixels to the right before starting the path. It works fine if you make the SVG bigger, e.g. 300x300 here.

D3 - Positioning tooltip on SVG element not working

I have a webpage with an SVG. On some of its shapes I need to display a tooltip. However, I can't get the tooltip to appear where it should, just some pixels away from the shape itself.
It appears way on the right hand side of the screen, maybe some 300px away.
The code I am using to get the coordinates is as follows:
d3.select("body")
.select("svg")
.select("g")
.selectAll("circle")
.on("mouseover", function(){return tooltip.style("visibility", "visible");})
.on("mousemove", function(){
var svgPos = $('svg').offset(),
/*** Tooltip ***/
//This should be the correct one, but is displaying at all working at all.
/*x = svgPos.left + d3.event.target.cx.animVal.value,
y = svgPos.top + d3.event.target.cy.animVal.value;*/
//This displays a tool tip but way much to the left of the screen.
x = svgPos.left + d3.event.target.cx.animVal.value,
y = svgPos.top + d3.event.target.cy.animVal.value;
Tooltip
window.alert("svgPos: "+svgPos+" top: "+y+"px left: "+x+"px "+d3.event.target.cx.animVal.value);
return tooltip.style("top", x+"px").style("left",y+"px");
})
.on("mouseout", function(){return tooltip.style("visibility", "hidden");});
I got to this code following this SO post.
I have changed $(ev.target).attr(cx) as it is not returning a value on my machine; d3.event.target.cx is, even though it seems it is not affecting the end result anyway.
What am I doing wrong? Could somebody help me please? Thank you very much in advance for your time.
If your tooltip is an HTML element, then you want to position it relative to the page as a whole, not the internal SVG coordinates, so accessing the cx/cy value is just complicating things. I can't say for sure without looking at your code, but if you have any transforms on your <svg> or <g> elements, then that could be what's throwing you off.
However, there is a much easier solution. Just access the mouse event's default .pageX and .pageY properties, which give the position of the mouse relative to the HTML body, and use these coordinates to position your tooltip div.
Example here: http://fiddle.jshell.net/tPv46/1/
Key code:
.on("mousemove", function () {
//console.log(d3.event);
return tooltip
.style("top", (d3.event.pageY + 16) + "px")
.style("left", (d3.event.pageX + 16) + "px");
})
Even with rotational transforms on the SVG circles, the mouse knows where it is on the page and the tooltip is positioned accordingly.
There are other ways to do this, including getting a tooltip to show up in a fixed location relative to the circle instead of following the mouse around, but I just checked the examples I was working on and realized they aren't cross-browser compatible, so I'll have to standardize them and get back to you. In the meantime, I hope this gets you back on track with your project.
Edit 1
For comparison, here is the same example implemented with both an HTML tooltip (a <div> element) and an SVG tooltip (a <g> element).
http://fiddle.jshell.net/tPv46/4/
The default mouse event coordinates may be great for positioning HTML elements that are direct children of <body>, but they are less useful for positioning SVG elements. The d3.mouse() function calculates the mouse coordinates of the current event relative to a specified SVG element's coordinate system, after all transformations have been applied. It can therefore be used to get the mouse coordinates in the form we need to position an SVG tooltip.
Key code:
.on("mousemove", function () {
var mouseCoords = d3.mouse(
SVGtooltip[0][0].parentNode);
//the d3.mouse() function calculates the mouse
//position relative to an SVG Element, in that
//element's coordinate system
//(after transform or viewBox attributes).
//Because we're using the coordinates to position
//the SVG tooltip, we want the coordinates to be
//with respect to that element's parent.
//SVGtooltip[0][0] accesses the (first and only)
//selected element from the saved d3 selection object.
SVGtooltip
.attr("transform", "translate(" + (mouseCoords[0]-30)
+ "," + (mouseCoords[1]-30) + ")");
HTMLtooltip
.style("top", (d3.event.pageY + 16) + "px")
.style("left", (d3.event.pageX + 16) + "px");
})
Note that it works even though I've scaled the SVG with a viewBox attribute and put the tooltip inside a <g> with a transform attribute.
Tested and works in Chrome, Firefox, and Opera (reasonably recent versions) -- although the text in the SVG tooltip might extend past its rectangle depending on your font settings. One reason to use an HTML tooltip! Another reason is that it doesn't get cut off by the edge of the SVG.
Leave a comment if you have any bugs in Safari or IE9/10/11. (IE8 and under are out of luck, since they don't do SVG).
Edit 2
So what about your original idea, to position the tooltip on the circle itself? There are definite benefits to being able to position the tip exactly: better layout control, and the text doesn't wiggle around with the mouse. And most importantly, you can just position it once, on the mouseover event, instead of reacting to every mousemove event.
But to do this, you can no longer just use the mouse position to figure out where to put the tooltip -- you need to figure out the position of the element, which means you have to deal with transformations. The SVG spec introduces a set of interfaces for locating SVG elements relative to other parts of the DOM.
For converting between two SVG transformation systems you use SVGElement.getTransformToElement(SVGElement); for converting between an SVG coordinate system and the screen, you use SVGElement.getScreenCTM(). The result are transformation matrices from which you can
extract the net horizontal and vertical translation.
The key code for the SVG tooltip is
var tooltipParent = SVGtooltip[0][0].parentNode;
var matrix =
this.getTransformToElement(tooltipParent)
.translate(+this.getAttribute("cx"),
+this.getAttribute("cy"));
SVGtooltip
.attr("transform", "translate(" + (matrix.e)
+ "," + (matrix.f - 30) + ")");
The key code for the HTML tooltip is
var matrix = this.getScreenCTM()
.translate(+this.getAttribute("cx"),
+this.getAttribute("cy"));
absoluteHTMLtooltip
.style("left",
(window.pageXOffset + matrix.e) + "px")
.style("top",
(window.pageYOffset + matrix.f + 30) + "px");
Live example: http://fiddle.jshell.net/tPv46/89/
Again, I'd appreciate a confirmation comment from anyone who can test this in Safari or IE -- or any mobile browser. I'm pretty sure I've used standard API for everything, but just because the API is standard doesn't mean it's universally implemented!

SVG geometric zoom issue in IE9+ and webkit (d3.js)

I have quite complex SVG created in Inkscape. It has couple layers(groups), <path>, <rect>, <circle> and <text> elements inside. I want to add ability of zooming for greater details, so I tried to implement geometric zoom like in this Mike's example: SVG Geometric Zooming. And it works as expected in Firefox, but in IE9+ and webkit based browsers I can see transform attribute changing, but picture stays the same.
Here is code for zoom:
var svg = d3.select("svg#svgCanvas");
var zoom = d3.behavior.zoom()
.scaleExtent([1, 3])
.on("zoom", zooming);
svg.call(zoom);
function zooming() {
svg.attr("transform", "translate(" + d3.event.translate + ")scale(" + d3.event.scale + ")");
}
Any ideas why it can fails?
Issue was caused by Inkscape's layers, so changing them to simple <g> elements by deleting inkscape:groupmode = layer and other unnecessary attributes fixed all.

trouble with d3.js - scaling a path shape

I'm trying to scale this speech bubble into existence. I'm not really sure how to do it because the default d3 scale is changing the area where it starts drawing.
var svgHeight = 1000
var svgWidth = 1000
var floatycircleRadius = 30
var textColor = "#FFFFFF"
var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg")
.attr("width", svgHeight)
.attr("height", svgWidth)
var floatycontainer = svg.append("g");
var floatygroup = floatycontainer.append("g")
var floatypath = floatygroup.append("path")
.attr("d", "m125.512,0h-66C26.645,0,0,26.482,0,59.35c0,28.574,20.142,52.312,47,58.029V145l26.283-26.283, l52.229,0.064c32.868,0,59.512-26.563,59.512-59.431S158.38,0,125.512,0z")
.style("fill", "#90C4E4")
floatygroup.attr("transform", "translate(500, 500)")
floatycontainer.attr("transform", "scale(1)");
floatycontainer.transition().duration(2000).attr("transform", "0")
Use transition.attrTween(name, tween) on the <g> or <path> element.
.attrTween("transform", function(d, i, a) {
return d3.interpolateString(a, 'scale(1)');
});

So the problem wasn't that I couldn't get the item to scale. It's that when the item was scaling the "M" attribute was also shifting and the svg element was flying across the page due to mixed relative and absolute points on the path.
After changing the line manually to all relative so I could finish my project I found a javascript script to change all paths to relative. Then I could manually change the "M" attribute to 0 so the scale would work correctly source (Convert SVG Path to Relative Commands).
I modified the script to better suit my needs and build this simple page using gist.github.com and bl.ocks.org so it's a simple site to get the all relative path. It fits my long term use case and I thought I'd share it for those interested. Thanks for your help.
