How can I animate the SVG textpath startOffset parameter in WebAnimation/JS (NOT CSS!):
I want to let the text slide down the path...
I tried numbers,%, px with no success.
<svg id="text-on-path-svg" width="400" height="400" style="border:1px solid #00f">
<path id="myPathforText" fill="none" stroke="#000" d="M90,90C90,160 250,160 300,300"/>
<text >
<textpath id="slideText" xlink:href="#myPathforText" startOffset="50%" >Text laid out along a path.</textpath>
</text>
<script type="text/ecmascript">
<![CDATA[
var slideText=document.getElementById("slideText");
var slideTextPlayer=slideText.animate(
[{startOffset:'0%'},
{startOffset:'100%'}],
{duration:3000,delay:0,iterations:Infinity});
]]>
</script>
</svg>

Help would be much appreciated.
One way is by placing an animate element inside your textpath element, like this:
<textpath id="slideText" xlink:href="#myPathforText" startOffset="50%" >
Text laid out along a path.
<animate attributeName="startOffset" from="0%" to ="100%" begin="0s" dur="3s" repeatCount="indefinite"/>
</textpath>
You can use repeatCount="indefinite" if you want it to keep looping.
I've been learning some of the SVG + SMIL syntax from articles on https://css-tricks.com (but their site was down for me as I'm writing this.)

I'm using SVG in HTML to draw a bended word along a path. Now that I managed to do draw the text, I need to split the word in 2 colors along the path that the word sits on. You can see the effect I'm trying to make in the image. Does anyone know how can I split the word in such a way? (I'm not sure if this matters, but the word is constantly bended, stretched and moved by the user, by modifying the "d" attribute of the path.)
var path = document.getElementById("Path");
var textPath = document.getElementById("TextPath");
document.onmousemove = function(e){
path.setAttribute("d", `M 100 100 q ${e.x-100} ${e.y-100} 230 0`);
textPath.setAttribute("textLength", path.getTotalLength() + "px")
}
svg {
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
}
<svg>
<path id="Path" d="M 100 100 q 50 -100 230 0" stroke="#000000" stroke-width="1" fill="none"></path>
<text id="Text" fill="#000000" font-size="64px">
<textPath startOffset="0%" id="TextPath" alignment-baseline="middle" href="#Path" startOffset="0%" startOffset="0%">Example</textPath>
</text>
</svg>
Here's a simpler version of what I have now. What I want to happen, is to color everything above the curve with one color and everything below with another.
One way of doing it: you use the text twice: once filled with color A and once filled with color B. Next you clip the second text with the path.
<svg viewBox="0 0 260 200">
<defs>
<path id="pth" d="M70,150 C10,40 240,40 180,150" stroke="red" fill="none" />
<text id="txt" font-size="45" text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="central">
<textPath font-size="35" startOffset="50%" href="#pth">
SSSSSSSSSSSS
</textPath>
</text>
<clipPath id="cp">
<use href="#pth" />
</clipPath>
</defs>
<use href="#txt" fill="blue" />
<use href="#txt" fill="orange" clip-path="url(#cp)" />
</svg>
I'm new at coding.
I'm studying the way to make an animated portfolio like Sean Halpin or Stephanie Walter one. I want to put a face, in which, blinking eyes and a moving the mouth would be the animated elements. Basically, I want to play with the visibility of the closed eyes and open mouth. As an example, I drew a face as follows:

So, I thought three ways to do this:
Place the svg inside an tag, calling then a function that takes into consideration the loading of the file. An example of what I'm saying is found in the following resource: https://www.petercollingridge.co.uk/tutorials/svg/interactive/javascript/, in the "External SVG + External JavaScript" part. It didn't work. The contentDocument ALWAYS returns "null".
In my example, it would be:
HTML:
<object id="face" data="path/to/face.svg" type="image/svg+xml"></object>
JS:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.addEventListener("load", function() {
var svgObject = document.getElementById('face').contentDocument;
var svg = svgObject.getElementById('closed_eye_r');
svg.style.visibility="hidden";
});
</script>
Inline SVG - call a "transform" property. Sean Halpin does it but I'm not sure what he does.
HTML: https://www.seanhalpin.design/
JS: https://www.seanhalpin.design/js/scripts.js
Inline SVG, use getElementById and apply functions to animate the internal parts of the SVG file.
Questions:
a. Is Inline SVG a good practice?
b. Which is the best way to animate an SVG?
I hope to have been clear. Let me know if something is not well presented, I want to learn to edit questions in order to make them as clear as possible.
Thanks!
I am relatively new in SVG drawing with HTML5.
What I want to do is to make a group of elements in SVG with g element so that all elements inside of that g element can work like a group and all the element's base x and y value can be received from the upper g element.
So, what I have done is something like this-
<svg width="500" height="300" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<g x="1000" y="1000">
<title>SVG Title Demo example</title>
<rect width="200" height="50"
style="fill:wheat; stroke:blue; stroke-width:1px"/>
<text style="text-anchor: middle;" class="small">My Text</text>
</g>
</svg>
What I expected is all the elements inside the g element will get x="1000" and y="1000" so my expected output is like this-
But I am getting this-
Re-
I don't like to set x and y element in text element. I just want to set relative x and y into the text element if needed, but that should be relative to g element.
Can anyone help me what I need to do to achieve my target with a group in SVG?
<g> elements don't support x or y attributes. You can use a transform instead though.
I've decreased the values from 1000 to 100 as otherwise the output is outside the 500 x 300 canvas of the outer <svg> element.
I've provided additional x and y attributes on the text element so it appears positioned as in your example. If wanted you could put the text itself in a <g> element or an <svg> element.
<svg width="500" height="300" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<g transform="translate(100, 100)">
<title>SVG Title Demo example</title>
<rect width="200" height="50"
style="fill:wheat; stroke:blue; stroke-width:1px"/>
<text x="100" y="30" style="text-anchor: middle;" class="small">My Text</text>
</g>
</svg>
or using an additional <g> element to avoid x and y on the text itself.
<svg width="500" height="300" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<g transform="translate(100, 100)">
<title>SVG Title Demo example</title>
<rect width="200" height="50"
style="fill:wheat; stroke:blue; stroke-width:1px"/>
<g transform="translate(100, 30)">
<text style="text-anchor: middle;" class="small">My Text</text>
</g>
</g>
</svg>
Alternatively you could use an inner <svg> element instead of a <g> element as that does support x and y attributes
<svg width="500" height="300" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<svg x="100" y="100">
<title>SVG Title Demo example</title>
<rect width="200" height="50"
style="fill:wheat; stroke:blue; stroke-width:1px"/>
<text x="100" y="30" style="text-anchor: middle;" class="small">My Text</text>
</svg>

I have read this documentation http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/animate.html about svg animation and i know how to animate rectangle,circle etc,but this document doesn't contains any info on how to animate entire svg "path" element.
I am creating bow and arrow game and i want to animate the "path" element to the right when user clicks on a button. i just want to know how to animate entire "path" element??
In the below code i want to animate second "path" element to the right...
<svg width="500" height="500">
<path d="M150,150 l0,150 q80,-50 0,-150 M220,230 l-120,0 m120,0 l-20,10 m20,-10 l-20,-10" style="stroke:black;stroke-width:5;fill:red;"/>
<path d="M220,230 l-120,0 m120,0 l-20,10 m20,-10 l-20,-10" style="stroke:orange;width:5" />
</svg>
After some trail and error i finally resolve my issue.Below is the code for the same.
<svg width="500" height="500">
<path d="M150,150 l0,150 q80,-50 0,-150 M220,230 l-120,0 m120,0 l-20,10 m20,-10 l-20,-10" style="stroke:black;stroke-width:5;fill:red;"/>
<path d="M220,230 l-120,0 m120,0 l-20,10 m20,-10 l-20,-10" style="stroke:orange;width:5">
<animateMotion
path="M0,0 l300,0"
begin="0s" dur="5s" repeatCount="1"
/>
</path>
</svg>
I have created numerous polygon shapes in SVG format. and grouped them together.
When the user hovers over the group a tooltip box appear. I have used ecmascript.
What i am looking to do is make the tooltip box a multiline box.
Any ideas how to do this?
<script type="text/ecmascript">
<![CDATA[
function init(evt)
{
if ( window.svgDocument == null )
{
svgDocument = evt.target.ownerDocument;
}
tooltip = svgDocument.getElementById('tooltip');
tooltip_bg = svgDocument.getElementById('tooltip_bg');
}
function ShowTooltip(evt, mouseovertext)
{
tooltip.setAttributeNS(null,"x",evt.clientX+17);
tooltip.setAttributeNS(null,"y",evt.clientY+14);
tooltip.firstChild.data = mouseovertext;
tooltip.setAttributeNS(null,"visibility","visible");
length = tooltip.getComputedTextLength();
tooltip_bg.setAttributeNS(null,"width",length+8);
tooltip_bg.setAttributeNS(null,"x",evt.clientX+14);
tooltip_bg.setAttributeNS(null,"y",evt.clientY+1);
tooltip_bg.setAttributeNS(null,"visibility","visibile");
}
function HideTooltip(evt)
{
tooltip.setAttributeNS(null,"visibility","hidden");
tooltip_bg.setAttributeNS(null,"visibility","hidden");
}
]]>
</script>
<SVG>
<g onmousemove="ShowTooltip(evt, 'GHANA 2000')" onmouseout="HideTooltip(evt)">
<path fill="#EEEEEE" d="M250,0c47,0,85.183,10.506,125,33.494L250,250V0z"/>

<text transform="matrix(1 0 0 1 283.9883 92.0024)" fill="#FFFFFF" font-family="'WalkwayBlack'" font-size="16">62</text>
</g>
<rect class="tooltip_bg" id="tooltip_bg" x="0" y="0" width="55" height="17" visibility="hidden"/>
<text class="tooltip" id="tooltip" x="0" y="0" visibility="hidden">Tooltip</text>
<SVG>
You could create more <text> elements or <tspan> elements within the existing text element, put subsequent lines of text in the additional elements and then position each text/tspan below the previous ones by giving them the same x attribute value and increase the y attribute by the height of the bounding box of the previous line.
Alternatively and more simply, just create <title> elements as children of the polygon shape elements and put the multiline text directly within that and the tooltips will be shown by most UAs as multiline tooltips, it certainly works in Firefox and Opera. Here's a html example but it should work just as well with SVG except that SVG has a title element rather than a title attribute.
