I had been using nested <svg/> and <g/> elements to center an SVG graphic

  • 0

I had been using nested <svg/> and <g/> elements to center an SVG graphic within my browser frame. The outer svg element had width and height of 100%, the inner had x and y set to 50%. An inner g element had negative offset of half image size. This was working fine but I now want to add pan and zoom functionality.

The nested SVG approach seems to be incompatible with SVGPan which gets confused.

SVGPan will only work if I start with the graphic at top-left. I think I’ll have to write a script that runs when SCG is loading/loaded to add a transform to center the top-level g in a way that is compatible with SVGPan.

How can I initialize my <g /> with a matrix transformation that translates it thusly?

((viewport.width - g.width)/2, (viewport.width - g.width)/2)

The size of the viewport is not known when the SVG is created but I can drop some script in there to create the transform or translation. Where should the script live and what should it do? It needs to be compatible with SVGPan.

    Talos solved this issue for me, see https://github.com/talos/jquery-svgpan/issues/3

    Instead of

    <svg><svg><g></g></svg></svg>
    

    I’m now using

    <svg><g><svg></svg></g></svg>
    

    and that allows a centered graphic to work with [jquery-]svgpan.
