Master the image format of the modern web
Key Features- Master the art of creating responsive and interactive graphics with SVG, CSS, and JavaScript
- Combine SVG with popular animation libraries and frameworks for GUI rich applications
- Create an awesome user experience with high performance graphics for your web applications
SVG is considered as an important aspect of animating your web applications. Its a cross-platform markup along with the combination of modern web technologies that proves to be the winning combination for web designers and developers. This book will show you the different facets of SVG and the various considerations and prerequisites for animating with SVG.
The book gets started with the basic concepts of SVG and then outlines the different ways that SVG can be used on the modern web.
You will learn how to author an SVG document using the most common features of SVG such as elements and attributes, and also learn how to serve SVG on the web with simple configuration tips for common web servers. Next, you will use SVG elements and SVG images in HTML documents.
Moving on, you will use SVG images confidently for a variety of common tasks and learn how to manipulate SVG elements. You will also see how to add animation with just the power of CSS. Next, you will learn the basic JavaScript SVG (API) by introducing the common Document Object Model (DOM) methods and then how to interface SVG with common libraries and frameworks such as React, JQuery, and Angular.
You will then build an understanding of the APIs of both Snap.svg and SVG.js along with the basics of D3 and see how to implement interesting visualizations using the library.
By the end of the book, you would have mastered creating animation with SVG.
What you will learn- Basics of SVG production
- How to deliver the elements that make up an SVG image
- Learn how to replace your old CSS Sprites with SVG
- Animation and data visualization with SVG will be explained in both pure JavaScript and using common libraries
- Use SVG for scaling images across multiple devices easily
- Harness the power of CSS Animations and Transformations to manipulate your SVG images in a replicable, remixable way
- Interface SVG with common libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, React, and Angular
This book is for web developers and designers looking to add animation to their projects. Some experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is required.

The stroke-linecap attribute indicates the shape to be rendered at the end of an open line. The options are butt, round, square, and inherit. The following code sample shows the different rendering options in action. The two red lines are there to show the difference between butt and square. butt ends the stroke flush with the ends of the line. The square cap extends beyond the end of the line to include the thickness of the stroke's:
viewBox="0 0 500 400" version="1.1">
x2="450" y2="100" stroke-linecap="butt" />
x2="450" y2="200" stroke-linecap="round" />
x2="450" y2="300" stroke-linecap="square" />
y1="0" x2="20" y2="400" />
y1="0" x2="450" y2="400" />

You've learned quite a bit in this book so far about SVG. You've spent a lot of time looking at the details of the SVG specification and the different ways in which SVG can interact with CSS and HTML. Hopefully, it's been as interesting for you as it is for me.
As interesting as it has all been, it's this chapter where we'll put all the tools together to really unlock the power of SVG. Adding JavaScript to the mix opens up a huge number of new possibilities.
Granted, there are many web developers and designers who will never do animation, dynamic visualizations, or other interactive work with SVG. For them, getting a full understanding of the way that SVG itself works as markup and how it fits in with other static web technologies is incredibly valuable. This is especially true of the intersection between SVG and CSS that we just learned about in detail.
That said, the most exciting thing about SVG is how easily it works with JavaScript to enhance the interactivity of your site. All of these open web technologies are designed to work together in ways that create something greater than the sum of the individual specifications. Even though there are separate experts working on all of these various technologies, they do so out in the open (for the most part) and are, generally, part of larger organizations such as Microsoft, Google, or Mozilla and therefore have a real desire to make sure that these technologies work together in the best possible way.
The intersection of SVG and JavaScript is definitely one such case.
In this chapter, we'll learn about the low-level interface between JavaScript and SVG. This includes the DOM interface to SVG. This is important stuff, even though we're also going to learn about libraries and frameworks for working with SVG. Even i f you've been doing web development for a while and are familiar with JavaScript and the DOM, the differences between the regular HTML DOM and the interface to SVG elements is important. If you're not so familiar with raw DOM manipulations (and many developers who started in the jQuery era and later are not), then this chapter will give you a whole set of useful skills.
In this chapter, we'll learn about the following:
- The basic DOM interface to SVG-basic accessing and manipulating SVG elements in JavaScript
- SVG-specific DOM interfaces
- Working with SVG and CSS dynamically
This book is for web developers interested in exploring Scalable Vector Graphics. It is written from the perspective of a frontend web developer, but anyone with experience with JavaScript, CSS, and XML-based grammars should find this book accessible.
Prior experience with SVG is not required.
SVG documents can grow quite large, even for simple images. Depending on the number of effects and the number of elements, the markup used to draw an SVG image could quickly overwhelm everything else on the page. For that reason, it's worth keeping large SVG elements as separate document fragments and pulling them into your documents as needed. Depending on how they're being used, this might be with the use element inside a containing SVG document or might be a case of importing a document fragment using your page composition tool of choice. There are a large number of server-side and/or client-side solutions for bringing together pieces of markup and text together (for example, JavaScript template solutions, CMSs, blog platforms, and server-side scripting languages, such as PHP), so I'm not going to create an example of potentially limited use. I'll trust you'll leverage the one closest to your heart.
You'd still have to deal with it when inspecting the page, but it's much nicer than having 500 lines of markup in a 700-line file being taken up by an SVG illustration showing a supply chain diagram or something similar.

We've learned a lot about SVG so far in this book. If you've made it this far, you're ready to do some serious SVG development, and for that there are three ways to go:
- Continue doing what we've, mostly, done so far in this book-learn about the way the core technologies interact and integrate SVG into your sites or applications, as you would in any markup. Manipulate it with JavaScript and CSS and you're ready to tackle basically anything. This is a valid approach and is the one I often take in my own work.
- Use task-specific frameworks and libraries. We've started to look at this a little bit with GSAP and Vivus for animation. We'll continue to look at this in , Working with D3.js, when we look at D3, a powerful visualization framework.
- Use general purpose SVG libraries that will help you with a variety of SVG-related tasks. SVG was brought into the mainstream of web development on the back of one such library, Raphael, and there are current libraries available for you to use in your own work. This option is the focus of this chapter.
As previously mentioned, SVG took many years to gain traction owing to limited browser support. A general-purpose SVG library called Raphael.js (http://dmitrybaranovskiy.github.io/raphael/) helped to bridge that support gap by offering a very clever Vector Markup Language (VML), https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/vml/web-workshop---specs---standards----introduction-to-vector-markup-language--vml-, polyfill for an older version of Internet Explorer. It also offered a friendly API for dealing with SVG in the browser, which helped people unfamiliar with SVG to get started quickly and easily.
This chapter deals with two of the most popular successors to Raphael.js:
- Snap.svg: a direct successor to Raphael, being a library authored by the author of Raphael.js, Dmitry Baranovskiy (http://snapsvg.io/)
- svg.js : another small, lightweight library that offers plenty of powerful options for manipulating SVG (http://svgjs.com/)
The rest of the chapter will look at the basics of each library and will then go through some familiar examples, reworked to utilize the power of these general purpose SVG tools.
We'll start with Snap.svg.
