I'm trying to put an icon inside an SVG circular graph so that it will display like this: SVG graph example.
No matter what I do, there's always a slight gap between one side of the inner icon and the SVG path that displays like this. I think the issue has to do w/the fact that the arc degree for the SVG circular graph isn't a perfect circle
Here's everything I've already tried:
Created a static png of the inner icon image so that it wasn't a perfect circle + then wrapped the SVG around it
Created SVG in illustrator with the inner icon as a png with two outer paths: one for the grey fill all around and one for the green fill to represent 50%. When I export the file, the d parameter is displaying based on coordinates, not percentages.
<path d="M82,153.53C122.23,153.41,153.2,121,153.46,82,153.69,43.3,122.59,10.94,82,10.49"
fill="none" stroke="#7aef93"
stroke-miterlimit="10" stroke-width="15" />
I started playing around w/this on CodePen, but didn't get very far.
Is this even possible to achieve? I'd really appreciate any and all help/feedback!
This is a fast solution, I don't know is it good. You should add class circle to the second svg like this:
<svg class="circle" width="120" height="120" viewBox="0 0 120 120" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<circle cx="60" cy="60" r="59" fill="#F07C7C" stroke="#D0CFCF" stroke-width="2"/>

And then you should add this css:
.circle {
position: absolute;
top: 25px;
left: calc(50% - 108px);
}
This should make a second svg inside first svg.
I am building a web app that allows a user to interact with a bidirectional graph and play games to explore graph theory.
I am working off of this Graph Editor:
http://bl.ocks.org/rkirsling/5001347
Two problems:
I've found no information on how to display a bidirectional arrow
with SVG
I want to be able to run computations on these nodes and reference their adjacent nodes and change attributes of them. Therefore, I don't just want it to appear that the edges are bidirectional, I want them represented as bi/undirectional in their code so I can manipulate them.
I want this functionality to be accessible from the web. I first started this project using Python with NetworkX and Bokeh, but ran into some display problems and found it much less intuitive to deploy as a web app.
D3.js is powerful, pretty, and well documented. But for some reason, no one has done anything with undirectional force graphs. Is this because it isn't possible?
P.S. I've thought about just adding an arrow in each direction, but this seems inelegant and may have display and referential issues.
Thanks in advance!
You can display a bidirectional arrow using the marker-start and marker-end path attributes. Define one or more marker elements in the defs of your SVG containing the arrow head shape you want to use, give each an ID, and then apply them to your paths using either css or directly using a style attribute. e.g.
<svg width="200" height="200">
<defs>
<marker id="start-arrow" viewBox="0 -5 10 10" refX="4" markerWidth="5" markerHeight="5" orient="auto">
<path d="M10,-5L0,0L10,5" fill="#000"></path>
</marker>
<marker id="end-arrow" viewBox="0 -5 10 10" refX="6" markerWidth="5" markerHeight="5" orient="auto">
<path d="M0,-5L10,0L0,5" fill="#000"></path>
</marker>
</defs>
To use them:
// apply directly using the style attribute
<path style="marker-start: url('#start-arrow'); marker-end: url('#end-arrow');" d="M0,0L100,100" />
or
// in your css
.arrowed {
marker-start: url(#arrow-start);
marker-end: url(#arrow-end);
}
// in your SVG
<path class="arrowed" d="M0,0L100,100" />
There is also a marker-mid to apply shapes to the middle of paths.
Working demo:
.link {
stroke: black;
stroke-width: 3px;
fill: none;
}
.arrowed {
marker-start: url(#start-arrow);
marker-end: url(#end-arrow);
}
<svg width="200" height="200">
<defs>
<marker id="big-arrow" markerWidth="13" markerHeight="13" refX="2" refY="6" orient="auto">
<path d="M2,2 L2,11 L10,6 L2,2" style="fill: #000000;" />
</marker>
<marker id="start-arrow" viewBox="0 -5 10 10" refX="4" markerWidth="5" markerHeight="5" orient="auto">
<path d="M10,-5L0,0L10,5" fill="#000"></path>
</marker>
<marker id="end-arrow" viewBox="0 -5 10 10" refX="6" markerWidth="5" markerHeight="5" orient="auto">
<path d="M0,-5L10,0L0,5" fill="#000"></path>
</marker>
<marker id="blob" markerWidth="8" markerHeight="8" refX="5" refY="5">
<circle cx="5" cy="5" r="3" style="stroke: none; fill: #000;" />
</marker>
</defs>
<g>
<path class="link" style="marker-start: url('#blob'); marker-end: url('#big-arrow');" d="M150,50L50,150" markerUnits="strokeWidth"></path>
<path class="link arrowed" d="M150,150L50,50"></path>
</g>
</svg>
As for Q2, d3 allows you to bind data to DOM elements or calculate layouts using established algorithms, but it doesn't really handle much beyond simple graph traversal and it doesn't hold internal representations of networks that can be reasoned over or used for computations. It can't be used for the same kinds of analyses as the likes of networkx. I know of at least one JS library, KeyLines, that can do network analysis, but it is proprietary software; I am sure there are others out there.
I'm trying to create a box that is opaque, but has a block of text in it that you can see through (to like the background image of the page or some element underneath).
It's hard to explain so I've made some crude diagrams:
I am attempting to use SVG files to do this and use Javascript/jquery to modify the rectangle width and height but I'm not proficient at the SVG format... I've managed to piece this together using the evenodd filter:

I don't know how to modify the size/position of the text and rectangle independently well. I can barely understand what I wrote and why the margin is so big.
If anyone could help me, through this or any other method, thank you!
Edit: someone pointed out that there may be a duplicate, but that solution does not work in Firefox unfortunately. I am looking for a cross “platform” solution. But thanks for the link, it’s very helpful nonetheless.
My suggestion is to create a mask using the text. We then create a blue rectangle that we mask with the our text mask.
We can postion the SVG and have it size the way we want using SVG width and height. But we also make the blue rectangle very large and have the SVG set to overflow: visible. This allows us to easily have the SVG size be responsive and also have the blue extend to all the way to the edges of the screen.

JSFiddle version
I have an SVG file that looks like below:
Is there a way to make the text transparent? That is, instead of a fill color I want to cut out the layers and show what's in the background (of the SVG i.e. whatever lies underneath the SVG). In other words, make the intersection of the path & text to be transparent?
Contents of the SVG file:
<svg width="36.087" height="34.314" viewBox="0 0 36.087 34.313999" x="1190.56" y="753.5780000000001">
<path fill="#63a95c" d="M36.087 13.107l-13.305-.66L18.047 0l-4.742 12.446L0 13.106l10.377 8.352L6.89 34.314l11.157-7.285 11.14 7.284-3.475-12.856" fill-rule="evenodd"/>
<text font-size="10px" x="10.498" y="23.484" fill="#ffffff" fill-opacity="1" font-family="OpenSans-Bold">8.5</text>
</svg>
I tried changing the transparency of the text element, but that only affects the text. The text inside the SVG is variable is populated dynamically so I can't "pre-process" the SVG file. Is there a way perhaps using evenodd fill or something similar to create an "exclusion" for intersection? Is it possible using one of the SVG JS libraries such as snap.svg or svg.js?
Edit:
The final SVG should look like this:
The SVG code posted above is for the star and the text. The final SVG should have the background color showing through the text while retaining the outer shape of the star.
Create a mask, put the text in it via a text element and then use the mask on the shape you want to clip a hole in. Something like this...
head, body {
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
<svg width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 200 200">
<defs>
<mask id="sample" maskUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
<rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="white"/>
<text x="12" y="23" font-size="10" font-family="Impact">9.0</text>
</mask>
</defs>
<path fill="#63a95c" d="M36.087 13.107l-13.305-.66L18.047 0l-4.742 12.446L0 13.106l10.377 8.352L6.89 34.314l11.157-7.285 11.14 7.284-3.475-12.856" fill-rule="evenodd" mask="url(#sample)"/>
Good afternoon everyone,
I'm defining an SVG on my page with the following defs.
<svg width="0" height="0">
<defs>
<g id="stroke-hexagon">
<polygon fill="#002663" stroke="#FFFFFF" stroke-width="6" stroke-miterlimit="12" points="57.8,185 5.8,95 57.8,5 161.8,5 213.8,95 161.8,185 "/>
</g>
<g id="hexagon">
<polygon fill="#006890" points="52,180 0,90 52,0 156,0 208,90 156,180 "/>
</g>
</defs>
</svg>
...and implementing it later in the HTML using this:
<svg width="208px" height="180px" viewBox="0 0 208 180" >
<use xlink:href="#hexagon"></use>
<text class="faicon" x="50%" y="70px" fill="white" font-size="80px" text-anchor="middle"></text>
<text text-anchor="middle" x="50%" y="70%" fill="white">Logo Here</text>
</svg>
Works totally fine. I am also able to style the polygon's fill with simple CSS. Looks like this:
#hexagon:hover polygon {
fill:#990000;
}
The hover effect fails, however, whenever the mouse leaves the polygon and instead hovers over either of the 'text' elements within the svg. Is there a way to define a CSS rule that prevents this behavior. Or, would it be better (easier) to change the attribute using JS / jQuery?
Thanks!
Your texts are rendered on top of your polygon and are therefore intercepting mouse events. You should set up a css rule like
text {
pointer-events: none;
}
This will prevent the text from becoming a target of mouse events which should give you the desired hover effect for the polygon.
