Bitmap image as a pattern for Leaflet.js map - svg

I am using Leafletjs to generate a map from geoJSON file. I'd like to fill some of the areas with a pattern. I've found a plugin (Leaflet.pattern) and tweaked it a bit to add support for bitmap images. It seems to work correctly, the SVG <defs> part seems to be OK
<pattern id="25" x="0" y="0" width="20" height="20" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" patternContentUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
<image stroke="none" fill="none" pointer-events="none" xlink:href="http://lorempixel.com/20/20/" x="0" y="0" width="20" height="20"></image>
</pattern>
The <g>bit looks like this:
<g>
<path
stroke-linejoin="round"
stroke-linecap="round"
fill-rule="evenodd"
stroke="#000"
stroke-opacity="1"
stroke-width="0.5"
fill="url(#25)"
fill-opacity="0.9"
class="leaflet-clickable"
d="M-23 200L-27 200L-27 191L-29 188L-29 184L-24 179L-19 177L-1 187L1 180L5 194L19 194L19 201L17 204L13 205L7 202L5 205L-8 199L-10 202L-17 198z">
</path>
</g>
The problem is that the pattern is not there.
But when I copy the generated SVG and open it on its own the pattern is there.
What am I overlooking?

why does <g> not work in <clipPath> in svg?

The following code does not work:
<svg>
<defs>
<clipPath id="test">
<g>
<rect x="0" y="0" width="10" height="10"></rect>
</g>
</clipPath>
</defs>
<rect x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" clip-path="url(#test)"></rect>
</svg>
But this does work:
<svg>
<defs>
<clipPath id="test">
<rect x="0" y="0" width="10" height="10"></rect>
</clipPath>
</defs>
<rect x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" clip-path="url(#test)"></rect>
</svg>
In my project, I have some paths in the group tag and I want to reuse the group as a clipPath target and show the path at the same time. For example:
<svg>
<defs>
<g id="group">
<path d="..."></path>
<path d="..."></path>
<path d="..."></path>
<path d="..."></path>
</g>
<clipPath id="test">
<use xlink:href="#group" fill="#000"></use>
</clipPath>
</defs>
<!-- show the stroke of the group -->
<use xlink:href="#group" stroke="#000"></use>
<!-- at same time, clip the rect to make some animation as the background -->
<rect x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" clip-path="url(#test)"></rect>
</svg>
Because the SVG specification says so
Content model:
Any number of the following elements, in any order:
    descriptive elements
    animation elements
    shape elements
    ‘text’
    ‘use’
Unfortunately <g> elements are not in that list.
Firefox used to support clipping <g> elements a long time ago till we noticed that we weren't a) acting per the specification above and b) compatible with other implementations so we restricted our clipPath implementation to be consistent. So if you got Chrome and Safari on board for a specification change we'd likely be OK with that.
Note that you can work around this by clipping a <use> element that points to a <g> element.

How to color a region i.e the intersection of two object?

I want to color an intersection of two object, let's say a circle and a rectangle.
What I have tried so far is to defined a path bounding that region then add the fill attribute, but it seems too complicated.
Is there any other ways to do so?
Let me elabotare more one the problem:
<svg width="352" height="57" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<line y2="0.75" x2="103.95" y1="43.15" x1="42.35" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="#000" fill="none"/>
<line y2="50.35" x2="201.55" y1="0.75" x1="103.95" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="#000" fill="none"/>
<line y2="19.15" x2="239.95" y1="49.55" x1="201.55" fill-opacity="null" stroke-opacity="null" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="#000" fill="none"/>
<line y2="55.95" x2="282.35" y1="18.35" x1="240.75" fill-opacity="null" stroke-opacity="null" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="#000" fill="none"/>
<line y2="37.55" x2="351.15" y1="31.95" x1="0.75" fill-opacity="null" stroke-opacity="null" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="#000" fill="none"/>
</svg>
I have a set of lines which the end of one is another end of the other.
I have another line intersecing these line.
How could I color the region i.e the triangles formed by these line?
You can use <clipPath> to clip the rect with the circle like so:
svg{width:100vh;}
<svg viewBox="50 50 200 100">
<clipPath id="clip">
<use xlink:href="#c" />
</clipPath>
<g fill="none" stroke="black" >
<circle id="c" cx="100" cy="100" r="30" />
<rect id="r" x="90" y="80" width="80" height="60" />
</g>
<use xlink:href="#r" clip-path="url(#clip)" fill="gold" />
</svg>
You could work with opacity to let the color of an overlapped element shine through like shown here:
<svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<g style="stroke:#000; stroke-width:1">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="50" opacity="0.5" style="fill:red" />
<circle cx="100" cy="50" r="50" opacity="0.5" style="fill:yellow" />
<rect x="0" y="70" width="150" height="50" fill-opacity="0.5" style="fill:blue" />
</g>
</svg>
You can also specify the opacity levels separately for stroke and fill by using stroke-opacity and fill-opacity.
Edit:
Looking at your edited question again: when you are dealing with a succession of lines (and curves) you should use <path> elements instead of individual <line> elements. One of its advantages is that it comes with a fill behaviour that is almost exactly as you want it to be. However, to suit the requirements of your example you would need to find the positions where the straight line enters and leaves the zig-zag shape. These positions then define the points used for your filled path. The "original" (non-filled) path is then plotted over the filled path:
<svg width="352" height="57" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<path d="M56,33 103.95,0.75 201.55,50.35 239.95,19.15 260,36z
M0.75,31.95 351.15,37.55" style="fill:yellow" />
<path d="M42.35,43.15 103.95,0.75 201.55,50.35 239.95,19.15 282.35,55.95
M0.75,31.95 351.15,37.55" style="stroke:black;fill:none"/>
</svg>

svg changes when converted to symbol

I have this dummy svg showing a cirle with some grey figure inside
<svg viewBox="0 0 86 86" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<defs>
<circle id="path-1" cx="43" cy="43" r="43"></circle>
</defs>
<g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd">
<g transform="translate(-585.000000, -391.000000)">
<g transform="translate(585.000000, 391.000000)">
<mask id="mask-2" fill="white">
<use xlink:href="#path-1"></use>
</mask>
<use id="Oval" fill="currentcolor" xlink:href="#path-1"></use>
<g id="Group" mask="url(#mask-2)" fill="#b8b8b8">
<g transform="translate(21.500000, 27.823529)" id="Page-1">
<path d="M0.5,0.176470588 L0.5,58.1764706 L15.5,58.1764706 L15.5,49.1764706 L29.5,49.1764706 L29.5,31.1764706 L7.5,31.1764706 L7.5,37.1764706 Z"></path>
</g>
</g>
</g>
</g>
</g>
when I convert it to a sprite using gulp-svg-sprite with mode symbol I get this result
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><symbol viewBox="0 0 86 86" id="company"><defs><circle id="aa" cx="43" cy="43" r="43"/></defs><g fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"><mask id="ab" fill="#fff"><use xlink:href="#aa"/></mask><use fill="currentcolor" xlink:href="#aa"/><g mask="url(#ab)" fill="#b8b8b8"><path d="M22 28v58h15v-9h14V59H29v6z"/></g></g></symbol></svg>
Now the grey figure breaks out of the circle and this even happens if I copy root defs- and g-tags from my original svg directly into the symbol-tag. I have also tried inserting a clipPath in the symbol version but with no luck.
What am I missing here?
UPDATED: Simplifying your svg may work ... try with the examples below, one using symbols, one without (in case the gulp sprite code cannot have nested symbols) ... it may be an issue with the defs area.
svg {
width: 100px;
}
<svg viewBox="0 0 86 86" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<defs>
<symbol id="c">
<circle cx="43" cy="43" r="43" fill="currentColor" />
</symbol>
<mask id="mask" color="#fff">
<use xlink:href="#c" />
</mask>
</defs>
<use xlink:href="#c" color="#666" />
<path fill="#999" mask="url(#mask)" d="M10 0v60h30v-10h20v-20h-30v9z" />
</svg>
<svg viewBox="0 0 86 86" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<defs>
<mask id="mask2" color="#fff">
<circle cx="43" cy="43" r="43" fill="#FFF" />
</mask>
</defs>
<circle cx="43" cy="43" r="43" fill="currentColor" />
<path fill="#999" mask="url(#mask2)" d="M10 0v60h30v-10h20v-20h-30v9z" />
</svg>
It is probably not a complete answer but I managed to get it work;
First I extended my defs with a clipPath using my circle
<defs>
<circle id="circle" cx="43" cy="43" r="43"></circle>
<clipPath id="clippath"><use overflow="visible" xlink:href="#circle" /></clipPath>
</defs>
Then, using the clipPath on my first group and switching from gulp-svg-sprite to gulp-svgstore (which moves the defs to the top, above the symbols) gives me what I expect both as single svg and as an svg symbol sprite.

Grouping several SVG's into one object

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">
<defs>
<symbol id="icon_1" viewBox="0 0 54 54">
<path d="M10.6 29.3h14.5V44H10.6z" class="st0"/>

new object:

</g>
</svg>
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.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</symbol>
<defs>
<g id="shape">
<circle cx="40" cy="40" r="40" fill="rgba(124,240,10,0.5)" />
<use x="2" y="-3" width="80" height="80" xlink:href="#icon_1"/>
</g>
</defs>
<use xlink:href="#shape"/>
</svg>
Also, if the sprite is in a separate file, you have to reference the symbol within that file: <use hlink:href="sprites.svg#icon1"/>.

SVG clipPath to clip the *outer* content out

Normally, the <clipPath> element hides everything that is outside the clip path. To achieve the opposite effect - that is to "cut out" something from the image - i want to use two paths in the clipPath and the clip-rule="evenodd" attribute. Basically, I want to "xor" the clip paths.
But it doesn't work. It shows the region "ORed":
<clipPath clip-rule="evenodd" id="imageclippath" clipPathUnits = "objectBoundingBox">
<rect clip-rule="evenodd" x="0.3" y="0.3" height="0.6" width="6" />
<rect clip-rule="evenodd" x="0" y="0" height="0.5" width="0.5" />
</clipPath>
<rect clip-path="url(#imageclippath)" x="0" y="0" height="500" width="500" fill="red"/>
EDIT:
My problem is that AFAIK <mask> doesn't work in iOS WebKit.
It's much easier to do what you're after with a mask, see this example. Here's the mask definition:
<mask id="maskedtext">
<circle cx="50%" cy="50%" r="50" fill="white"/>
<text x="50%" y="55%" text-anchor="middle" font-size="48">ABC</text>
</mask>
Regions that are white inside the mask will be kept, everything else will be clipped away.
Here's another example that uses clipPath instead, is a bit trickier since you need to use a path element to get the clip-rule to apply. The clipPath that uses clip-rule there looks like this:
<clipPath id="clipPath1">
<path id="p1" d="M10 10l100 0 0 100 -100 0ZM50 50l40 0 0 40 -40 0Z" clip-rule="evenodd"/>
</clipPath>
