#svg — Public Fediverse posts

Years ago I cribbed this from a creative dev whose work I liked

It uses canvas and js mouse events. I wish it were possible in CSS (or with SVG) or something close to it.

(I'm working on a platform which is quite limited so we are trying to think of ways to circumvent some of the constraints)

Ok, probably you already know it, but I just found a slick little web app that allows you to download an SVG logo of any brand. From time to time I need something like that, and this one is good.

Weekend project: tinkering with OKLCH, CSS custom properties, SVG, and colour theory to generate harmonious accent colours from a single source of truth (inline custom property). Very happy to see this picked by CodePen. It gave me a welcome, unexpected boost 😍

Does anyone know of some tool or website to convert a #GPX or #KMZ file into a pretty graphic? Maybe an #SVG?

I don't wanna use #Strava to do that for me haha. I just went on my first bike ride around the city and wanna share some cool stats

I’m trying to make simple vector shapes look handmade, using filter primitives that add imperfections (grain, wobble, rough edges, scatter, noise). Can anyone recommend good, easy-to-follow resources for working with inline SVG on the web?

@lkundrak It's #SVG and #SMIL. I created the base image in #Inkscape , added an <animate> nodes using the XML editor (and some supporting groups to select a reference point for rotation), and then re-opened it in a text editor to comfortably edit the <animate>s.

There isn't an element per slice. It's just one element for all slices going up on hover and then back down.

🆕 blog! “Stupidly Simple SVG Sparklines”

A sparkline is a little line-graph with no axes or other unnecessary details. They're useful for getting quick understanding of what the data is showing.

They're also really easy to create programmatically.

This uses the SVG "polyline" which takes a list of x,y co-ordinate pairs. But can you spot the small problem?

Stupidly Simple SVG Sparklines

A sparkline is a little line-graph with no axes or other unnecessary details. They're useful for getting quick understanding of what the data is showing.

They're also really easy to create programmatically.

This uses the SVG "polyline" which takes a list of x,y co-ordinate pairs. But can you spot the small problem?

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 1024 124">
    <polyline fill="none" stroke="#0074D955" stroke-width="3" 
        points="12,48 83,84 154,79 226,90 297,79 369,65 440,78 512,80 583,88 654,12 726,56 797,92 869,93 940,97 1012,106"></polyline>
</svg>

The SVG co-ordinate system has position 0,0 at the top left. Most graphics formats are like that. That's fine for our x value - but it means higher y values will appear lower on the graph.

Getting the x co-ordinate of each data point is easy. Take the width of the SVG image and divide it by the number of data-points.

The y co-ordinate is harder. The algorithm is:

1. Find the height of the SVG.
2. Find the maximum value in the data.
3. Find the minimum value in the data.
4. Divide the maximum value by the height of the graph.
5. For each data point, either:
   • To have the lowest value at the bottom of the graph, subtract the minimum from the value, then multiply by the ratio in (4).
   • Or, to retain the gap between zero and the lowest value, multiply the value by the ratio in (4).
6. The y co-ordinate is calculated by subtracting the value in (5) from the height in (1).

Here's some code showing how it works. I've added a little padding to the inside of the graph - you'll see why later:

//  Max and min of views.
$max_views = max( $svg_views_data );
$min_views = min( $svg_views_data );
$svg_data_length = sizeof( $svg_dates_data ) - 1;

//  SVG details for scaling.
$svg_padding = 12;
$svg_width_graph  = 1000;
$svg_width  = $svg_width_graph + ( $svg_padding * 2 );
$svg_height_graph = 100;
$svg_height = $svg_height_graph + ( $svg_padding * 2 );

//  Calculate where each point should be.
$x_per = $svg_width_graph / ( $svg_data_length );
$y_per = $svg_height_graph / $max_views;

//  Loop through the data.
foreach ( $svg_views_data as $index=>$views ) {
    //  X is from the left.
    $x_pos = intval( $x_per * $index ) + $svg_padding;
    //  Y is from the top.
    $y_pos = $svg_height - intval( $y_per * $views ) - $svg_padding;

    //  Add a point to the line.
    $polyline_points .= "{$x_pos},{$y_pos}\n";
}

echo <<< SVG
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
    viewBox="0 0 $svg_width $svg_height" class="chart">
    <polyline
        fill="none"
        stroke="#F00"
        stroke-width="3"
        points="{$polyline_points}"/>
</svg>
SVG;

Suppose someone suggests stupidly simple sparklines suffer seriously so someone should supplement statistics several circles?

Using the same co-ordinates, we can place an SVG circle on top of the point. Give it a "title" attribute and you have a little bit of interactivity.

<circle cx="12" cy="48" r="5" fill="#0074D955"><title>4,707 Views</title></circle>

Here's how it looks (view source to understand how it is constructed).

Hover over any of those little circles and you'll see some pop-up text giving you information about that datapoint.

…that's it! If you have an array of data points, you can easily create a graph with no graphing library, no plugins, no 3rd party dependencies. Just super simple SVG.

2. Find the maximum value in the data.
3. Find the minimum value in the data.
4. Divide the maximum value by the height of the graph.
5. For each data point, either:
   • To have the lowest value at the bottom of the graph, subtract the minimum from the value, then multiply by the ratio in (4).
   • Or, to retain the gap between zero and the lowest value, multiply the value by the ratio in (4).
6. The y co-ordinate is calculated by subtracting the value in (5) from the height in (1).

Here's some code showing how it works. I've added a little padding to the inside of the graph - you'll see why later:

//  Max and min of views.
$max_views = max( $svg_views_data );
$min_views = min( $svg_views_data );
$svg_data_length = sizeof( $svg_dates_data ) - 1;

//  SVG details for scaling.
$svg_padding = 12;
$svg_width_graph  = 1000;
$svg_width  = $svg_width_graph + ( $svg_padding * 2 );
$svg_height_graph = 100;
$svg_height = $svg_height_graph + ( $svg_padding * 2 );

//  Calculate where each point should be.
$x_per = $svg_width_graph / ( $svg_data_length );
$y_per = $svg_height_graph / $max_views;

//  Loop through the data.
foreach ( $svg_views_data as $index=>$views ) {
    //  X is from the left.
    $x_pos = intval( $x_per * $index ) + $svg_padding;
    //  Y is from the top.
    $y_pos = $svg_height - intval( $y_per * $views ) - $svg_padding;

    //  Add a point to the line.
    $polyline_points .= "{$x_pos},{$y_pos}\n";
}

echo <<< SVG
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
    viewBox="0 0 $svg_width $svg_height" class="chart">
    <polyline
        fill="none"
        stroke="#F00"
        stroke-width="3"
        points="{$polyline_points}"/>
</svg>
SVG;

Suppose someone suggests stupidly simple sparklines suffer seriously so someone should supplement statistics several circles?

Using the same co-ordinates, we can place an SVG circle on top of the point. Give it a "title" attribute and you have a little bit of interactivity.

<circle cx="12" cy="48" r="5" fill="#0074D955"><title>4,707 Views</title></circle>

Here's how it looks (view source to understand how it is constructed).

Hover over any of those little circles and you'll see some pop-up text giving you information about that datapoint.

…that's it! If you have an array of data points, you can easily create a graph with no graphing library, no plugins, no 3rd party dependencies. Just super simple SVG.

Stupidly Simple SVG Sparklines

A sparkline is a little line-graph with no axes or other unnecessary details. They're useful for getting quick understanding of what the data is showing.

They're also really easy to create programmatically.

This uses the SVG "polyline" which takes a list of x,y co-ordinate pairs. But can you spot the small problem?

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 1024 124">
    <polyline fill="none" stroke="#0074D955" stroke-width="3" 
        points="12,48 83,84 154,79 226,90 297,79 369,65 440,78 512,80 583,88 654,12 726,56 797,92 869,93 940,97 1012,106"></polyline>
</svg>

The SVG co-ordinate system has position 0,0 at the top left. Most graphics formats are like that. That's fine for our x value - but it means higher y values will appear lower on the graph.

Getting the x co-ordinate of each data point is easy. Take the width of the SVG image and divide it by the number of data-points.

The y co-ordinate is harder. The algorithm is:

1. Find the height of the SVG.
2. Find the maximum value in the data.
3. Find the minimum value in the data.
4. Divide the maximum value by the height of the graph.
5. For each data point, either:
   • To have the lowest value at the bottom of the graph, subtract the minimum from the value, then multiply by the ratio in (4).
   • Or, to retain the gap between zero and the lowest value, multiply the value by the ratio in (4).
6. The y co-ordinate is calculated by subtracting the value in (5) from the height in (1).

$svg_width  = $svg_width_graph + ( $svg_padding * 2 );
$svg_height_graph = 100;
$svg_height = $svg_height_graph + ( $svg_padding * 2 );

//  Calculate where each point should be.
$x_per = $svg_width_graph / ( $svg_data_length );
$y_per = $svg_height_graph / $max_views;

//  Loop through the data.
foreach ( $svg_views_data as $index=>$views ) {
    //  X is from the left.
    $x_pos = intval( $x_per * $index ) + $svg_padding;
    //  Y is from the top.
    $y_pos = $svg_height - intval( $y_per * $views ) - $svg_padding;

    //  Add a point to the line.
    $polyline_points .= "{$x_pos},{$y_pos}\n";
}

echo <<< SVG
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
    viewBox="0 0 $svg_width $svg_height" class="chart">
    <polyline
        fill="none"
        stroke="#F00"
        stroke-width="3"
        points="{$polyline_points}"/>
