DRAWING ARBITRARY SHAPES Path <path d=&quot;path data&quot; > outline of a shape which can be filled, stroked, used as a clipping path defined by connected lignes, arcs and curves. Base attribute &quot;path data&quot; : complex vocabulary &quot;,&quot; and EOL are allowed in &quot;path data&quot;, spaces are optional between a command and a number (to compress data) <path d=&quot;M 100 100 L 300 100 L 200 300 z&quot; fill=&quot;red&quot; stroke=&quot;blue&quot; stroke-width=&quot;1&quot; />

Path <path d=&quot;path data&quot; >

outline of a shape which can be filled, stroked, used as a clipping path

defined by connected lignes, arcs and curves.

Base attribute

&quot;path data&quot; : complex vocabulary

&quot;,&quot; and EOL are allowed in &quot;path data&quot;, spaces are optional between a command and a number (to compress data)

PATH DATA VOCABULARY Each command is named by a letter (M: moveto L: lineto, etc.) followed by a coordinate, either Absolute if capital (e.g. &quot;M&quot;) Relative to the previous point if lowercase (e.g. &quot;m&quot;) M and m: Move the point to the given coordinate Create a new sub-path starting at the origin Syntax: M|m (x y) (x y)* The second group (x y)* is interpreted as lineto commands Ex: M100 100 200 200 L and l: Draw a line from the current point to the given coordinate and draw lines between subsequent given points Syntax: L|l (x y) (x y)* H and h (V and v): Draw a horizontal line (vertical) from the current point to the current point incremented with the given number Syntax: H|h (x) et V|v (y) Z and z: Close current subpath with the last point defined with M|m M 100,100 L 200, 200 x Cur point

Each command is named by a letter (M: moveto L: lineto, etc.) followed by a coordinate, either

Absolute if capital (e.g. &quot;M&quot;)

Relative to the previous point if lowercase (e.g. &quot;m&quot;)

M and m:

Move the point to the given coordinate

Create a new sub-path starting at the origin

Syntax: M|m (x y) (x y)*

The second group (x y)* is interpreted as lineto commands

Ex: M100 100 200 200

L and l:

Draw a line from the current point to the given coordinate and draw lines between subsequent given points

Syntax: L|l (x y) (x y)*

H and h (V and v):

Draw a horizontal line (vertical) from the current point to the current point incremented with the given number

Syntax: H|h (x) et V|v (y)

Z and z:

Close current subpath with the last point defined with M|m

MORE PATH DATA VOCABULARY See details on http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html Command Args (can be repeated)+ Description A, a rx ry x-axis-rotation direction sweep x y Elliptical arc C, c x1 y1 x2 y2 x y Cubic B ézier curve from current point to x y with control points x1 y2 and x2 y2 S, s x2 y2 x y Cubic B ézier curve with control point as the reflection of the reflection of second control point of a C, c command Q, q x1 y1 x y Quadratic B ézier curve from current point to x y with control point x1 y1 T, t x y Quadratic B ézier curve with control point as the reflection of previous control point of a Q, q command

DEFINING REUSABLE GRAPHICAL COMPONENTS Definition of a component Group element: <g id=&quot;name&quot;> Container element for grouping graphics elements Can be nested Its attributes are inherited by its descendants Instantiation of a component <use xlink:href=&quot;#name&quot;/> <g id=&quot;shape&quot; stroke=&quot;blue&quot;> <path width=&quot;1cm&quot; d=&quot;M 0 50 35 25 70 50 Z&quot; stroke-width=&quot;0.1cm&quot; fill=&quot;none&quot;/> <rect x=&quot;10&quot; y=&quot;50&quot; width=&quot;50&quot; height=&quot;1cm&quot; stroke-width=&quot;0.1cm&quot;/> </g> <use xlink:href=&quot;#shape&quot; x=&quot;140&quot; y=&quot;20&quot;/> <use xlink:href=&quot;#shape&quot; x=&quot;70&quot; y=&quot;60&quot;/>

Definition of a component

Group element: <g id=&quot;name&quot;>

Container element for grouping graphics elements

Can be nested

Its attributes are inherited by its descendants

Instantiation of a component

<use xlink:href=&quot;#name&quot;/>

DECLARING GRAPHICAL COMPONENTS WITHOUT DRAWING THEM Everything that appears in a <defs> section will not be drawn It will be available to be reused in other parts This is a way to group resources (at the beginning of the file) <defs> <g id=&quot;shape&quot; stroke=&quot;blue&quot;> <path width=&quot;1cm&quot; d=&quot;M 0 50 35 25 70 50 Z&quot; stroke-width=&quot;0.1cm&quot; fill=&quot;none&quot;/> <rect x=&quot;10&quot; y=&quot;50&quot; width=&quot;50&quot; height=&quot;1cm&quot; stroke-width=&quot;0.1cm&quot;/> </g> </defs> <use xlink:href=&quot;#shape&quot; x=&quot;140&quot; y=&quot;20&quot;/> <use xlink:href=&quot;#shape&quot; x=&quot;70&quot; y=&quot;60&quot;/>

Everything that appears in a <defs> section will not be drawn

It will be available to be reused in other parts

This is a way to group resources (at the beginning of the file)

POSITIONING GRAPHICS Most elements can be positioned with x and y within their parent container Groups <g> are also used to apply transformations <g transform=&quot; translate (x,y)&quot;> Other transformations include rotate , skewX | Y , scale and matrix This is equivalent to associating a transformation matrix with each group <g> (and to redefine a new coordinate system for the descendants) Transformation are cumulative in nested groups Current transformation matrix at each <g> Obtained as the product of all transformation matrices up to the parent <g> <g transform=&quot;rotate(20, 200, 300)&quot;> <rect x=&quot;200&quot; y=&quot;300&quot; width=&quot;90&quot; height=&quot;40&quot; fill=&quot;lime&quot; stroke=&quot;blue&quot; stroke-width=&quot;3&quot;/> </g>

Most elements can be positioned with x and y within their parent container

Groups <g> are also used to apply transformations

<g transform=&quot; translate (x,y)&quot;>

Other transformations include rotate , skewX | Y , scale and matrix

This is equivalent to associating a transformation matrix with each group <g> (and to redefine a new coordinate system for the descendants)

Transformation are cumulative in nested groups

Current transformation matrix at each <g>

Obtained as the product of all transformation matrices up to the parent <g>

PAINTING AND COLORING Colors applies with different attributes to Strokes (attribute &quot;stroke&quot;) Shapes interior (attribute &quot;fill&quot;) Colors are rendered by a paint server The attribute URI reference selects a paint server Solid colors (e.g. &quot;orange&quot; or &quot;#50A619&quot;) Gradients or Patterns (e.g. &quot;url(#myGradient)&quot;) <defs> <linearGradient id=&quot;Gradient01&quot;> <stop offset=&quot;20%&quot; stop-color=&quot;#39F&quot; /> <stop offset=&quot;90%&quot; stop-color=&quot;#F3F&quot; /> </linearGradient> </defs> <rect x=&quot;200&quot; y=&quot;300&quot; width=&quot;90&quot; height=&quot;40” fill=&quot;url(#Gradient01)&quot; stroke=&quot;blue” stroke-width=&quot;3&quot;/>

Colors applies with different attributes to

Strokes (attribute &quot;stroke&quot;)

Shapes interior (attribute &quot;fill&quot;)

Colors are rendered by a paint server

The attribute URI reference selects a paint server
