Is it possible to set a background-image for an SVG <path> element?
For instance, if I set the element class="wall", the CSS style .wall {fill: red;} works, but .wall{background-image: url(wall.jpg)} does not, neither .wall {background-color: red;}.
You can do it by making the background into a pattern:
<defs>
<pattern id="img1" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="100" height="100">
<image href="wall.jpg" x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" />
</pattern>
</defs>
Adjust the width and height according to your image, then reference it from the path like this:
<path d="M5,50
l0,100 l100,0 l0,-100 l-100,0
M215,100
a50,50 0 1 1 -100,0 50,50 0 1 1 100,0
M265,50
l50,100 l-100,0 l50,-100
z"
fill="url(#img1)" />

I've used this way (you could see the codepen) to display image background in my logo letters. Now, i want to display a video instead of the image.

<svg class='crop-shapes'>
<defs>
<pattern id="img1" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="100%" height="650">
<image class='twombly' xlink:href="http://gastv.mx/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/jumex.jpg" x="-30" y="-30"
width="380" height="267" />
</pattern>
</defs>
<circle class='circ' cx="50" cy="50" r="50" fill="url(#img1)" filter="url(#sparklin)" onmouseover="evt.target.setAttribute('opacity', '0.5');"
13
onmouseout="evt.target.setAttribute('opacity','1)');"/>
<rect x="110" y="0" width="100" height="100" stroke="black" fill="url(#img1)" filter="url(#sparklin)"/>
<polygon x="10" points="270,0 220,100 320,100" fill="url(#img1)" filter="url(#sparklin)"/>
</svg>
Any idea or example ? I'm a noob with svg practices..
Thanks a lot !
I'm trying to use edit this example and fill the wave with a pattern
<svg id="shape-overlays" class="shape-overlays" viewBox="0 0 100 100" preserveAspectRatio="none">
<defs>
<pattern id="img4" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="180" height="180">
<image xlink:href="./pattern/menu-3.png" x="0" y="0" width="180" height="180" />
</pattern>
</defs>
<path class="shape-overlays__path"></path>
<path class="shape-overlays__path"></path>
<path class="shape-overlays__path"></path>
<path class="shape-overlays__path"></path>
</svg>
CSS
.shape-overlays__path:nth-of-type(4) {
fill: url(#img4);
stroke: red;
stroke-width: 1;
}
the SVG path is filled with pattern image but isn't repeated and is also stretched
I would like to have it repeated as a pattern, if is not possible I would like to use a big image as cover but keeping proportion
to solve the issue I changed preserveAspectRatio to "xMidYMid slice" instead of "none"
<svg id="shape-overlays" class="shape-overlays" viewBox="0 0 100 100" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice" >
When having multiple inline svg in my document I have noticed that using <use xlink:href="#id"/> will reference the first defined element with id="id", even when defined in another inline svg.
Somehow I was assuming the id/xlink:href scope was just the svg but it seems it is the whole document - which actually makes sense when thinking about it.
Example (red square in second svg should be green):
svg {
border: 1px solid gray;
}
<html><head></head><body>
<svg width="50" height="50" viewBox="0 0 50 50">
<defs>
<rect id="foo" width="25" height="25" fill="red" />
</defs>
<use xlink:href="#foo" />
</svg>
<svg width="50" height="50" viewBox="0 0 50 50">
<defs>
<rect id="foo" width="25" height="25" fill="green" />
<rect id="bar" width="25" height="25" fill="blue" />
</defs>
<use xlink:href="#bar" x=25 />
<use xlink:href="#foo" /> <!-- Not green but red! -->
</svg>
</body></html>
Is there a way to have <use/> elements only reference elements from the same <svg> somehow? Or would I have to create valid, document wide unique IDs?
