This project is part of the @thi.ng/umbrella monorepo.
SVG element functions for @thi.ng/hiccup & @thi.ng/hdom.
The functions provided here do produce valid hiccup elements, but since none of them make use of (or support) the global hiccup / hdom context object, they can ONLY be invoked directly, i.e. they MUST be called like:
// correct (direct invocation)
svg.svg({}, svg.circle([0, 0], 100, { fill: "red" }));
// incorrect / unsupported (lazy evaluation)
[svg.svg, {}, [svg.circle, [0, 0], 100, { fill: "red" }]]Since v2.0.0 this package provides a conversion utility to translate the more compact syntax used by @thi.ng/geom and @thi.ng/hdom-canvas shape trees (designed for more performant realtime / canvas drawing) into a SVG serializable hiccup format.
The convertTree() function takes a pre-normalized hiccup tree of
hdom-canvas shape definitions and recursively converts it into an hiccup
flavor which is ready for SVG serialization (i.e. using stringified
geometry attribs). This conversion also involves translation &
re-organization of various attributes, as described below. This function
returns a new tree. The original remains untouched, as will any
unrecognized tree / shape nodes (those will be transferred as-is to the
result tree). See example below.
Since v3.7.0 tree conversion can be implicitly triggered by providing a
convert: true attribute to the root svg() element.
// create SVG root element and convert body
svg(
{ width: 100, height: 100, convert: true},
["rect", { fill: [1, 0, 0] }, [0,0], 100, 100]
)
// [
// 'svg',
// {
// version: '1.1',
// xmlns: 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg',
// 'xmlns:xlink': 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink',
// width: 100,
// height: 100
// },
// [ 'rect', { fill: '#ff0000', x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100 } ]
// ]Since v3.1.0:
Color conversions are only applied to fill and stroke attributes and
color stops provided to linearGradient(), radialGradient()
String color attribs prefixed with $ are replaced with url(#...)
refs (e.g. to refer to gradients), else used as is (untransformed)
Interpreted as ARGB hex value:
{ fill: 0xffaabbcc } => { fill: "#aabbcc" }
Interpreted as float RGB(A):
{ fill: [1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4] } => { fill: "rgba(255,204,153,0.40)" }
@thi.ng/color values
Converted to CSS color strings:
{ fill: hcya(0.1666, 1, 0.8859) } => { fill: "#ffff00" }
(i.e. transform, rotate, scale, translate)
If an element has a transform attrib, conversion of the other
transformation attribs will be skipped, else the values are assumed to
be either strings or:
transform: 6-element numeric array (2x3 matrix in column major order)translate: 2-element arrayrotate: number (angle in radians)scale: number (uniform scale) or 2-elem array
If no transform, but others are given, the resulting transformation
order will always be TRS. Any string values will be used as-is and
therefore need to be complete, e.g. { rotate: "rotate(60)" }
