How do I scale an SVG that has some complex path definitions? - svg

I have an SVG whose code is like what follows:
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg width="150px" height="150px" preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMin meet" viewBox="0 0 150 155" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<g id="g11" transform="matrix(1.25,0,0,-1.25,-100.0791,954.14501)">
<g id="g3186" transform="translate(6.3490095,-13.703287)">
<path d="..."></path>
<path d="..."></path>
<path d="..."></path>
<path d="..."></path>
</g>
</g>
</svg>
The "original" dimensions of the SVG generate an image is that is 300px by 310px. I want to scale the image as a whole, let's say by 50%. I've tried a variety of ways to scale the image, but the best I've accomplished is to simply clip or "crop" the original image to a region that is 50% of the original dimensions.
Using preserveAspectRatio, setting the viewbox, trying to use transform="scale(0.5"), etc. have not worked. All I want to do is scale the original dimensions by 50%.


transform="scale(0.5)" should definitely work. You're probably doing something else wrong.
Try wrapping g11 in another g with transform="scale(0.5)" and remove the preserveAspectRatio and viewBox


Here is an example of how I'm doing it

Thanks in advance.
R.: One of the options I have is convert the svg to a png and put it there but I would like to not do that extra step.

By far the simplest way to convert SVG to PDF is via HTML, so I suggest you add enough HTML wrapping to control the output. Here we can see the normal HTML placement would include lots of other page data which of course you may add as you wish. One gotcha is of course units so you may need to introduce scaling factors but that is way beyond this simple demonstration of how to show and convert SVG-to-PDF
The first step is wrapping the SVG with the HTML (and this is overkill) but I simply used your Minimal !! SVG for cut and paste in a template as proof of concept.

Now we need a means to send the content to a PDF writer and here I use Edge but you can of course use Chrome. On Windows you may need to run that as Admin, it should only take a few seconds even on a slow 32bit win 7 device as I am currently on.
Note older windows may need --disable-gpu but should not now be needed since 7 is expired.

Question is:
Why do I need to set width and height in container? If I fail to do so, container takes up 150px by 300px.
How could I just make container automatically shrink to fit home's dimensions?
Thanks

The HTML spec says that if the size of any "replaced element" (that's things like <svg>, <canvas>, <object> etc) is not specified, then its size should default to 300px x 150px.
The <use> points to a <path>, rather than a whole SVG image, so it's size is indeterminate.
Given your use case, you cannot.

How to get intersection point(x,y) on SVG path

I have the SVG path, and I want to get point's y coordinate.
SVG line:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="1920" height="340" viewBox="0 0 1920 340">
<path clip-rule="evenodd" fill="none" stroke="#B3B3B3" stroke-miterlimit="10" d="M-.5 60.3c88.8-42 232.2-89.1 355.2-34.4C549.3 112.5 640.3 163 720.3 192.4c80 29.4 278.9 116.9 451.3 61.4 172.3-55.4 328-112.5 568.3-23.2 100.1 43 151.4 65.8 179.6 79.3"/>
</svg>
I try this answer code, but it doesn't fit my need. I think path.getTotalLength() is not great for my question.
How can I do?
Update:
What my project want to do: JSFiddle
I have no idea how red points can match the line for each device size.

I suggest that you try paperjs. It’s a JS graphics library that uses HTML <canvas> elements as its graphics context(s). Here’s an example using your curve and a vertical line at mouse.x, which intersections shown.
let wave_path
let bounds
window.onload = function() {
//paper is a library for working with canvases; it's like a graphics library that works with a canvas
//as its GUI window. Each canvas context is its own PaperScope, and the global paper variable is a reference
//to the currently active PaperScope.
paper.setup(document.getElementById('paper-canvas'))
//import wave svg. however, if you integrate paperjs into your page, you might as well draw the curve directly onto the
//canvas with paper, rather than creating an invisible svg element that you then import.
let wave_svg = paper.project.importSVG(document.getElementById('svg-wave'))
wave_svg.visible = true // Turn off the effect of display:none
//fit wave into paper canvas
bounds = paper.view.bounds
wave_svg.fitBounds(bounds)
wave_path = wave_svg.children[0] //get contained path
wave_path.strokeColor = 'black'
wave_path.fillColor = null
//set event handlers on paper canvas
paper.view.onMouseMove = mouse_move
}
function mouse_move(event) {
let mouse_location = event.point
//clear canvas before redrawing
paper.project.clear()
//when creating a graphical object with paper, it automatically gets drawn to the canvas at the end of an event handler
//draw vertical line to intersect with
let line = new paper.Path(new paper.Point(mouse_location.x, 0), new paper.Point(mouse_location.x, bounds.height))
line.strokeColor = 'black'
//redraw wave path
new paper.Layer(wave_path)
//draw intersections
let intersections = line.getIntersections(wave_path)
for (intersection of intersections) {
let circle = new paper.Path.Circle(intersection.point, 5)
circle.strokeColor = 'red'
circle.fillColor = 'white'
}
}

using inkscape svg in html on web

I'm using inkscape .91 and would like to create an svg which I can use on the web. I'm a newbie.
I can export it in png - no problem but have no idea how to include it in the web as SVG which, since I want a responsive site, is quite important. I've tried using the img tag but get nothing. I've edited the xml and changed standalone='no' to standalone='yes' with no luck. Tried adding width/height to img tag, ...
I'm stumped, can someone help.
svg is below and at outtopastureenterprises.com/exper/modal/Not_Love_Heart_SVG.svg
Thanks.

Load up your image in Inkscape and zoom out. Zoom way, way out.
That's it, keep going.
Eventually you'll see something like this:
See that little box way over there on the right? That's where you should be drawing your picture. Not in outer space.
If you move your artwork to where it's supposed to be, you'll notice that it doesn't quite fit inside the page boundary. Fix this by changing the size of your document (File » Document Properties) to 806x806 pixels and centring the drawing in the page. That should fix the problem.
Then save the file as a "Plain SVG". This will reduce the amount of unnecessary spew that Inkscape adds to your document, making it take up less bandwidth. Another thing you could do before saving the file is click on the "SVG output" tab in the preferences window and change the "Numeric precision" setting to something sensible like 1 or 2. You don't need micro-pixel precision in a file like this.

Here are my recommendations for embedding an svg in html.
1. Simplify shapes
Select all elements of the same color with this tool.
Convert them into paths.
Merge them.
2. Control the image size and position.
Choose "Icon 16x16" as page size
Select all the graphic elements and resize them to fit in the 16x16 pixel frame.
Check that there are no transformations.
You can open the .svg file in a text editor to see if there are any "transorm" tags,
the following steps will remove the scalings and translations.
Select all and apply the "convert path to absolute" command
Some transformations may remain after this step.
Choose the shape in question and apply a scaling of 100% having checked the box "Apply to each object separately"
Now your svg is cleaner.
You can use File -> Clean Up Document to make it even cleaner.
3. Embedding in the HTML
Paste it into an svg symbol that you can call anywhere in your HTML.
Here, I set the size of the icon to 40x40
And voilà!

So with this example I would like to write Australian Capital Territory in it. And I would like to be able to add other states with there names in there shapes as well.
Any help I would be grateful for.

I adjusted two unrelated things in your SVG:
Adjusted the viewBox so that one could actually see the image. width and height can be set to anything you like for scaling the image.
Australian Capital Territory is an invalid ID, changed that to AustralianCapitalTerritory
