Avoiding the clipping of symbols in SVG - svg

For my use it would be convenient for me to have a list of SVG symbols centered on zero, making their placement with use easier. For example a symbol which is simply a circle would have its center at zero and then a given radius. However with the standard clipping that clips away 3/4 of the circle. Here's an example:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
version="1.1" width="400.0" height="400.0" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet"
viewBox="0.0 0.0 230.0 150.0">
<rect x="0.0" y="0.0" width="230.0" height="150.0" style="stroke:#000000; stroke-width:0.5 ; fill:#B9FFFF;"/>
<symbol id="concentric">
<circle cx="0.0" cy="0.0" r="10.0" style="stroke:#FF0000; stroke-width:0.266; fill:none"/>
<circle cx="0.0" cy="0.0" r="5.0" style="stroke:#00FF00; stroke-width:0.266; fill:none"/>
</symbol>
<use xlink:href="#concentric" x="20" y="20" />
<use xlink:href="#concentric" x="40" y="20" />
<use xlink:href="#concentric" x="60" y="20" />
</svg>
This will result in three uses of the symbol called "concentric" but since the original symbol has two circles at 0,0 three quarters of the symbol is clipped.
What is the easiest way of not clipping the symbols at 0 0?

You can use overflow="visible" to turn clipping off if you don't want it.
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
version="1.1" width="400.0" height="400.0" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet"
viewBox="0.0 0.0 230.0 150.0">
<rect x="0.0" y="0.0" width="230.0" height="150.0" style="stroke:#000000; stroke-width:0.5 ; fill:#B9FFFF;"/>
<symbol id="concentric" overflow="visible">
<circle cx="0.0" cy="0.0" r="10.0" style="stroke:#FF0000; stroke-width:0.266; fill:none"/>
<circle cx="0.0" cy="0.0" r="5.0" style="stroke:#00FF00; stroke-width:0.266; fill:none"/>
</symbol>
<use xlink:href="#concentric" x="20" y="20" />
<use xlink:href="#concentric" x="40" y="20" />
<use xlink:href="#concentric" x="60" y="20" />
</svg>

Edge not rendering SVG Symbol

I have two pairs of SVG patterns and symbols. The symbol holds and the SVG and the pattern shapes it. I use each pattern as a fill for a Circle.
This approach works fine in chrome but in edge only some svgs render in the circle. Below is an example, on chrome you should see both a shoe and a diamond. On Edge only the diamond renders even thou the approach is the same as the shoe.
CodePen Example
<svg width="660" height="600">
<defs>
<symbol xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" id="symbol-shoe" viewBox="0 0 45 45">
</svg>
....SVG code
</svg>
<symbol xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" id="symbol-diamond" viewBox="0 0 45 45">
<svg>
....SVG code
</svg>
</symbol>
<pattern id="pattern-diamond" x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
<use xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" x="6.59" y="6.59" width="31.819" height="31.819" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#symbol-diamond" />
<pattern id="pattern-shoe" x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
<use xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" x="6.59" y="6.59" width="31.819" height="31.819" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#symbol-shoe" />
</pattern>
</defs>
<circle fill="url(#pattern-shoe)" cx="150" cy="150" r="60" />
<circle fill="url(#pattern-diamond)" cx="150" cy="400" r="60" />

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>

<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.

How to size an SVG

I am trying to create an SVG sprite.
I have set the SVG image to be 100px wide, 50px height, then offset the second by 50.
How can I set the size of the actual icon? Currently, the icon is huge and not 50px.

This is what I see:
DO NOT USE TRANSFORM FOR SCALING
What you are missing is a defined viewBox.
If you do not define a viewBox the viewBox is the same size as the height and width that you defined.
So when you draw a path and some of its point are above 370 then they will be outside its container. Since your defined size is 100 width by 50 height. Any point with values higher then the size will not be drawn.
when you define a viewBox you can change the size without affecting what is drawn or not.

How can i scale a shape without scaling its pattern?

I have an svg shape which uses a pattern. I want the pattern to NOT scale when i scale the shape.
Here's a fiddle with a minimal example, the bigger circle should show the pattern like the smaller one:
http://jsfiddle.net/cTMrQ/6/
<svg style="position: absolute" width="100%" height="100%" version="1.1" baseProfile="full" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events">
<defs>
<pattern id="checkerPattern" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" x="0" y="0" width="4" height="4">
<image x="0" y="0" xlink:href="http://inwonderland.at/new/lines.png" width="4" height="4" />
</pattern>
<circle fill="url(#checkerPattern)" id="c" cx="50" cy="50" r="50" />
</defs>
<use x="100" y="100" xlink:href="#c" />
<use x="200" y="100" xlink:href="#c" transform="scale(2)" />
</svg>
In the end the shape will be a complex path and the image in the pattern will be a scan of a piece of paper, so just drawing a bigger circle instead of scaling it won't work.
Update
To clarify what i want, here are two images:
this is what it looks like, no matter what i try, when i scale the shape:
http://inwonderland.at/new/ihave.png
this is what i want:
http://inwonderland.at/new/iwant.png
i want the background image (bitmap image) to always have its natural size.
You can't get what you want using a pattern, the transform always happens after the fill, and you can't just move the pattern fill into a wrapper either. My suggestion is to use a filter and apply the filter on a wrapper - like so:
<svg style="position: absolute" width="100%" height="100%" version="1.1" baseProfile="full" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events">
<defs>
<circle fill="url(#checkerPattern)" id="c1" cx="50" cy="50" r="50" />
<filter id="linepattern" x="0%" y="0%" height="100%" width="100%">
<feImage xlink:href="http://inwonderland.at/new/lines.png" result="pattern" width="4" height="4"/>
<feTile/>
<feComposite operator="in" in2="SourceGraphic"/>
</filter>
</defs>
<use filter="url(#linepattern)" x="100" y="100" xlink:href="#c1" />
<use filter="url(#linepattern)" x="200" y="100" xlink:href="#c1" transform="scale(2)" />
<g filter="url(#linepattern)">
<use x="50" y="100" xlink:href="#c1" transform="scale(2)" />
</g>
</svg>
Using viewport
1:1 no zoom
<svg width="800" height="400" viewBox="0 0 800 400">
2:1 zoom double size
<svg width="800" height="400" viewBox="0 0 400 200">
The following elements can use the viewBox attribute
<svg>
<symbol>
<image>
<marker>
<pattern>
<view>
viewbox is fully animatable; and you can zoom into any center point.
<animate attributeName="viewBox" begin="1s" dur="1s"
values="0 0 600 400; 250 180 300 200" fill="freeze" />
Transform a parent tag
Yes an SVG can be a child element but more commonly shapes made with multible tags are placed inside a group tag.
Transform scale can be used with tags which are parents IE the group tag.
<g transform="scale(1.5)">
/* draw your shape inside the g tag */
<use x="100" y="100" xlink:href="#c" />
<use x="200" y="100" xlink:href="#c" />
</g>
So using your above example scale the shape in a parent tag.
Update
To scale image but not patterns in other words move patterns, or icons, on background image that scales.
<g transform="scale(2)">
/* draw your shape inside the g tag */
<use x="100" y="100" xlink:href="#c" transform="scale(.5)" />
<use x="200" y="100" xlink:href="#c" transform="scale(.5)"/>
</g>
Update full svg
I had to move things around a bit, One full size, (lets call it a map), with an overlay of 1 half size map in the upper left corner. setting the full screen to render between 0 and max of 600. Setting a viewport the same but with the width set to 300 scales it down. I do need to double the radius for this example of scaling.
<svg viewBox="0 0 600 600" style="position: absolute" width="100%" height="100%" version="1.1" baseProfile="full"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events">
<defs>
<pattern id="checkerPattern" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" x="0" y="0" width="4" height="4">
<image x="0" y="0" xlink:href="http://inwonderland.at/new/lines.png" width="4" height="4" />
</pattern>
<circle fill="url(#checkerPattern)" id="c" cx="50" cy="50" r="50" />
<circle fill="url(#checkerPattern)" id="c2" cx="50" cy="50" r="100" />
</defs>
<use x="100" y="100" xlink:href="#c" transform="scale(.5)"/>
<use x="200" y="100" xlink:href="#c" transform="scale(1)"/>
<rect width="600" height="600" style="fill: none; stroke: black;" />
<svg viewBox="0 0 600 600" width="300" height="300" x="300">
<use x="100" y="100" xlink:href="#c2" transform="scale(.5)"/>
<use x="200" y="100" xlink:href="#c2" transform="scale(1)"/>
<rect width="600" height="600" style="fill: none; stroke: black;" />
</svg>
</svg>
This example is scaled using the same circle pattern. The radius does not need to be changed here because the location is not in the tag being scaled. I'm making use of svg tags here but other tags can be used.
<svg viewBox="0 0 600 600" style="position: absolute" width="100%" height="100%" version="1.1" baseProfile="full"

</pattern>
<circle fill="url(#checkerPattern)" id="c" r="50" cx="50" cy="50" />
</defs>
<svg x="100" y="100"><use xlink:href="#c" transform="scale(.5)"/></svg>

<svg x="200" y="100"><use xlink:href="#c" transform="scale(2)"/></svg>
<rect width="600" height="600" style="fill: none; stroke: black;" />
</svg>

How to Exclude Area inside of clippath in Svg

I want to hide anything that outside a rectangle. (this i have achieved with clipping successfully). but another condition is that, 'also hide anything that comes inside the black big circle'. Now how i can achieve that?
in below example, 'yellow circle' must be eliminated'.
see below images for detail
Original:-
Desired:-
Below is my Svg code:-
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" width="500" height="500">
<g>
<rect x="50" y="50" width="200" height="200" stroke="1" fill="red"/>
<circle cx="180" cy="150" r="30" stroke="blue" />
</g>
<g clip-path = "url(#clip1)">
<circle cx="180" cy="150" r="10" stroke="blue" fill="yellow" />
</g>
<clipPath id = "clip1">
<rect x="50" y="50" width="200" height="200" stroke="1" fill="red"/>
</clipPath>
</svg>
Erik Dahlström is right, your clip can include the entire rectangle and the cutout for the circle. This way, anything you associate with #clip1 as the clip-path will not be visible inside your circle area. Here is what it looks like for your example:
