I generated a SVG using Adobe XD. They use transform for positioning things but the text in my mini computer screen is not always the same width (it is dynamically generated). I have tried anchored, anything I could find but it still didn't work. This is how it looks with the current code:
Here is the code:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="903.5" height="860.5" viewBox="0 0 1200 1041">
<g transform="translate(-397)">
<g
transform="translate(507 975)"
fill="#fff"
stroke="#707070"
strokeWidth="1"
>
<rect width="907" height="66" rx="33" stroke="none" />
<rect x="0.5" y="0.5" width="906" height="65" rx="32.5" fill="none" />
</g>
<rect width="119" height="395" transform="translate(901 613)" fill="#fff" />
<g
transform="translate(397)"
fill="#232323"
stroke="#fff"
stroke-width="30"
>
<rect width="1127" height="627" rx="103" stroke="none" />
<rect x="15" y="15" width="1097" height="597" rx="88" fill="none" />
</g>
<text
fill="white"
fontSize="96"
fontFamily="Fredoka"
>
{screenText}
</text>
</g>
</svg>
You can use transform/translate, text-anchor and dominant-baseline to place a text in the middle of something.
body {
background: gray;
}
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 1200 1041">
<g
transform="translate(600 975)"
fill="#fff"
stroke="#707070"
stroke-width="1">
<rect x="-453.5" width="907" height="66" rx="33" stroke="none" />
<rect x="-454" y="0.5" width="906" height="65" rx="32.5" fill="none" />
</g>
<rect width="119" height="395" transform="translate(545.5 613)" fill="#fff" />
<g transform="translate(50)"
fill="#232323"
stroke="#fff"
stroke-width="30">
<rect width="1127" height="627" rx="103" stroke="none" />
<rect x="15" y="15" width="1097" height="597" rx="88" fill="none" />
</g>
<text
fill="#fff"
font-size="96"
font-family="Fredoka"
transform="translate(600 300)"
text-anchor="middle"
dominant-baseline="middle">
{screenText}
</text>
</svg>
Thanks to Buhan Yu's comment I learned that you need to specify x and y to center align it. I set x="50%" and it worked!
I am seeking to create a pie chart in pure SVG. I do not want to use JS or CSS, which most of the solutions on this site utilize. I came across this great article that explains how to create a pie chart in pure SVG: https://seesparkbox.com/foundry/how_to_code_an_SVG_pie_chart
The problem is that this article only describes how to make only one slice. I am seeking to create a pie chart that can contain up to a maximum of 360 elements (in which each slice of the pie will be 0.27% of it).
I have attempted to create another wedge in the following example by rotating it to -89 instead of the -90, but I'm not getting the results I'm looking for: https://codepen.io/HexylCinnamal/pen/KKwEjpK
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" width="100%" viewBox="0 0 20 20">
<circle r="10" cx="10" cy="10" fill="transparent"/>
<circle r="5" cx="10" cy="10" fill="transparent" stroke="tomato" stroke-width="10"
stroke-dasharray="calc(1 * 31.4 / 100) 31.4" transform="rotate(-90) translate(-20)"/>
<circle r="5" cx="10" cy="10" fill="transparent" stroke="blue" stroke-width="10"
stroke-dasharray="calc(1 * 31.4 / 100) 31.4" transform="rotate(-89) translate(-20)"/>
</svg>
I was wondering if there is any math I need to do to calculate the proper angle and translation to make the blue wedge appear next to the red one.
Unfortunately, calc() to calculate the attribute stroke-dasharray only works inChrome
For a cross-browser solution, it is necessary to calculate and assign values in the stroke-dasharray.
stroke-dasharray ="Circumference * 0.35, Circumference" or stroke-dasharray = "31.4 * 0.35, 31.4" or stroke-dasharray="10.99 31.4"
<svg height="20%" width="20%" viewBox="0 0 20 20" style="border:1px solid gray; ">
<circle r="10" cx="10" cy="10" fill="white" />
<circle r="5" cx="10" cy="10" fill="bisque"
stroke="tomato"
stroke-width="10"
stroke-dasharray="10.99 31.4" />
</svg>
For two segments:
red="35%"
blue="15%" stroke-dasharray = 31.4 * 0.15, 31.4 or stroke-dasharray ="4.71, 31.4"
<svg height="20%" width="20%" viewBox="0 0 20 20" style="border:1px solid; ">
<circle r="10" cx="10" cy="10" fill="white" />
<circle r="5" cx="10" cy="10" fill="bisque"
stroke="tomato"
stroke-width="10"
stroke-dasharray="10.99 31.4" />
<circle r="5" cx="10" cy="10" fill="bisque"
stroke="dodgerblue"
stroke-width="10"
stroke-dasharray="4.71 31.4" />
</svg>
We see that the blue sector overlaps the red sector; therefore, it is necessary to shift the blue sector by an amount equal to the length of the red sector 10.99
Add to shift the blue sector stroke-dashoffset="-10.99"
<svg height="20%" width="20%" viewBox="0 0 20 20" style="border:1px solid; ">
<circle r="5" cx="10" cy="10" fill="bisque" />
<circle r="5" cx="10" cy="10" fill="transparent"
stroke="tomato"
stroke-width="10"
stroke-dasharray="10.99 31.4" />
<circle r="5" cx="10" cy="10" fill="transparent"
stroke="dodgerblue"
stroke-width="10"
stroke-dasharray="4.71 31.4"
stroke-dashoffset="-10.99"
/>
</svg>
Four sectors
The solution works in all modern browsers including MS Edge

One easy way to fix your problem is using a different viewBox: "-10 -10 20 20"making the point 0,0 the center of the svg canvas. Please observe that you don't need the cx and cy attributes anymore and the transformation is only rotating.
I'm supposing that you want to divide the circle in 100 parts. In this case you'll need to rotate the second circle -90 + 360/100 or -90 - 360/100 degs.
circle{stroke-dasharray:calc(31.4 / 100) 31.4;}
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-10 -10 20 20">
<circle r="10" fill="transparent"/>
<circle r="5" fill="transparent" stroke="tomato" stroke-width="10" transform="rotate(-90)"/>
<circle r="5" fill="transparent" stroke="blue" stroke-width="10" transform="rotate(-86.4)"/>
</svg>
I am making face SVG. Unable to set eyebrow on proper place. Please advice.
<svg height="100" width="100">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="none" />
<ellipse cx="35" cy="45" rx="4" ry="5" stroke="red" stroke-width="2" fill="none" />
<ellipse cx="65" cy="45" rx="4" ry="5" stroke="red" stroke-width="2" fill="none" />
<path d="M10,20 Q25,10 40,20" fill="none" stroke="#000" stroke-width="1.5px" />
</svg>
You may use g element and add translation (useful if you will have more path to move at the same time):
<svg height="100" width="100">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="none" />
<ellipse cx="35" cy="45" rx="4" ry="5" stroke="red" stroke-width="2" fill="none" />
<ellipse cx="65" cy="45" rx="4" ry="5" stroke="red" stroke-width="2" fill="none" />
<g transform="translate(40,20)">
<path d="M10,20 Q25,10 40,20" fill="none" stroke="#000" stroke-width="1.5px" />
</g>
</svg>
Or simply translation on path:
<svg height="100" width="100">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="none" />
<ellipse cx="35" cy="45" rx="4" ry="5" stroke="red" stroke-width="2" fill="none" />
<ellipse cx="65" cy="45" rx="4" ry="5" stroke="red" stroke-width="2" fill="none" />
<path transform="translate(40,20)" d="M10,20 Q25,10 40,20" fill="none" stroke="#000" stroke-width="1.5px" />
</svg>
Here is the full SVG with both eyebrow (translation for both using g and then translate the 2nd one relatively to g). With this configuration you have to simply adjust the translation of g element if want it upper of lower
svg g {
transition: 0.5s;
}
svg:hover g {
transform: translate(10px, 15px);
}
<svg height="100" width="100">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="none" />
<ellipse cx="35" cy="45" rx="4" ry="5" stroke="red" stroke-width="2" fill="none" />
<ellipse cx="65" cy="45" rx="4" ry="5" stroke="red" stroke-width="2" fill="none" />
<g transform="translate(10,20)">
<path d="M10,20 Q25,10 40,20" fill="none" stroke="#000" stroke-width="1.5px" />
<path transform="translate(30,0)" d="M10,20 Q25,10 40,20" fill="none" stroke="#000" stroke-width="1.5px" />
</g>
</svg>
Use the transform attribute to position the path, like
transform="translate(50,80)"
Make sure you don't use px
Other transformations like scale or rotate are also available. See the specs.
<svg height="100" width="100">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="none" />
<ellipse cx="35" cy="45" rx="4" ry="5" stroke="red" stroke-width="2" fill="none" />
<ellipse cx="65" cy="45" rx="4" ry="5" stroke="red" stroke-width="2" fill="none" />
<path d="M16, 20 Q27, 10 35, 20" transform="translate(9, 17)" fill="none" stroke="#000" stroke-width="1.5px" />
<path d="M16, 20 Q27, 10 35, 20" transform="translate(40, 17)" fill="none" stroke="#000" stroke-width="1.5px" />
</svg>
Is it possible to implement transparent overlapping svg circle elements without circles border in transparent area?
You can clip the bits you don't want to draw...
<svg height="100" width="150">
<defs>
<clipPath id="clip" clipPathUnits="objectBoundingBox">
<rect width="0.79" height="1.2" x="-0.1" y="-0.1"/>
</clipPath>
</defs>
<rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="blue" opacity="0.2" />
<circle cx="80" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="none" />
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="none" clip-path="url(#clip)"/>
</svg>
Check this link to view information about position absolute css code. I think this is what you are looking for. You might also want to view information about z-index. If you have any questions or want me to write some sample code for your problem let me know
svg{
position: absolute;
}
#svg-1{
top: 80px;
left: 20px;
}
#svg-2{
top: 80px;
left: 60px;
}
<svg id="svg-1" height="100" width="100">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="red" /></svg>
<svg id="svg-2" height="100" width="100">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="red" /></svg>
You can also use a <mask>.
I've used the same elements as #RobertLongson's answer so you can compare the approaches.
<svg height="100" width="150">
<defs>
<mask id="mask">
<!-- white rectangle to keep the area outside the circle -->
<rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="white"/>
<!-- black circle creates a "hole" to hide the part inside -->
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" fill="black"/>
</mask>
</defs>
<rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="blue" opacity="0.2" />
<circle cx="80" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="none"
mask="url(#mask)"/>
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="none"/>
</svg>
I want to color the background of svg text similar to background-color in css
I was only able to find documentation on fill, which colors the text itself
Is it even possible?
You could use a filter to generate the background.
<svg width="100%" height="100%">
<defs>
<filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="solid">
<feFlood flood-color="yellow" result="bg" />
<feMerge>
<feMergeNode in="bg"/>
<feMergeNode in="SourceGraphic"/>
</feMerge>
</filter>
</defs>
<text filter="url(#solid)" x="20" y="50" font-size="50">solid background</text>
</svg>
No this is not possible, SVG elements do not have background-... presentation attributes.
To simulate this effect you could draw a rectangle behind the text attribute with fill="green" or something similar (filters). Using JavaScript you could do the following:
var ctx = document.getElementById("the-svg"),
textElm = ctx.getElementById("the-text"),
SVGRect = textElm.getBBox();
var rect = document.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", "rect");
rect.setAttribute("x", SVGRect.x);
rect.setAttribute("y", SVGRect.y);
rect.setAttribute("width", SVGRect.width);
rect.setAttribute("height", SVGRect.height);
rect.setAttribute("fill", "yellow");
ctx.insertBefore(rect, textElm);
The solution I have used is:
<svg>
<line x1="100" y1="100" x2="500" y2="100" style="stroke:black; stroke-width: 2"/>
<text x="150" y="105" style="stroke:white; stroke-width:0.6em">Hello World!</text>
<text x="150" y="105" style="fill:black">Hello World!</text>
</svg>
A duplicate text item is being placed, with stroke and stroke-width attributes. The stroke should match the background colour, and the stroke-width should be just big enough to create a "splodge" on which to write the actual text.
A bit of a hack and there are potential issues, but works for me!
Instead of using a <text> tag, the <foreignObject> tag can be used, which allows for XHTML content with CSS.
No, you can not add background color to SVG elements. You can do it programmatically with d3.
var text = d3.select("text");
var bbox = text.node().getBBox();
var padding = 2;
var rect = self.svg.insert("rect", "text")
.attr("x", bbox.x - padding)
.attr("y", bbox.y - padding)
.attr("width", bbox.width + (padding*2))
.attr("height", bbox.height + (padding*2))
.style("fill", "red");
Answer by Robert Longson (#RobertLongson) with modifications:
<svg width="100%" height="100%">
<defs>
<filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="solid">
<feFlood flood-color="yellow"/>
<feComposite in="SourceGraphic" operator="xor"/>
</filter>
</defs>
<text filter="url(#solid)" x="20" y="50" font-size="50"> solid background </text>
<text x="20" y="50" font-size="50">solid background</text>
</svg>
and we have no bluring and no heavy "getBBox" :)
Padding is provided by white spaces in text-element with filter.
It's worked for me
Going further with #dbarton_uk answer, to avoid duplicating text you can use paint-order=stroke style:
<svg>
<line x1="100" y1="100" x2="350" y2="100" style="stroke:grey; stroke-width: 100"/>
<text x="150" y="105" style="stroke:white; stroke-width:0.5em; fill:black; paint-order:stroke; stroke-linejoin:round">Hello World!</text>
</svg>
Note the stroke-linejoin:round which is needed to avoid seeing spikes for the W sharp angle.
You can combine filter with the text.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>SVG colored patterns via mask</title>
</head>
<body>
<svg viewBox="0 0 300 300" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<defs>
<filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="bg-text">
<feFlood flood-color="white"/>
<feComposite in="SourceGraphic" operator="xor" />
</filter>
</defs>
<!-- something has already existed -->
<rect fill="red" x="150" y="20" width="100" height="50" />
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="50" fill="blue"/>
<!-- Text render here -->
<text filter="url(#bg-text)" fill="black" x="20" y="50" font-size="30">text with color</text>
<text fill="black" x="20" y="50" font-size="30">text with color</text>
</svg>
</body>
</html>
this is my favorite hack (not sure it should work). It refer an element that is not yet displayed, and it works pretty well
<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 620 40" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet">
<defs>
<filter x="-0.02" y="0" width="1.04" height="1.1" id="removebackground">
<feFlood flood-color="#00ffff"/>
</filter>
</defs>
<!--Draw the text-->
<use xlink:href="#mygroup" filter="url(#removebackground)" />
<g id="mygroup">
<text id="text1" x="9" y="20" style="text-anchor:start;font-size:14px;">custom text with background</text>
<line x1="200" y1="18" x2="200" y2="36" stroke="#000" stroke-width="5"/>
<line x1="120" y1="27" x2="203" y2="27" stroke="#000" stroke-width="5"/>
</g>
</svg>
For those wondering how to apply padding to a text element when it has a background like in the Robert's answer, do the following:
<svg>
<defs>
<filter x="-0.1" y="-0.1" width="1.2" height="1.2" id="solid">
<feFlood flood-color="#171717"/>
<feComposite in="SourceGraphic" operator="xor" />
</filter>
</defs>
<text filter="url(#solid)" x="20" y="50" font-size="50">Hello</text>
</svg>
In the example above, filter's x and y positions can be used as transform: translate(-10%, -10%) would, and width and height values can be read as 120% and 120%. So we made background 20% bigger, and offsetted it -10%, so background is now 10% bigger on each side of the text.
The previous answers relied on doubling up text and lacked sufficient whitespace.
By using atop and I was able to get the results I wanted.
This example also includes arrows, a common use case for SVG text labels:
<svg viewBox="-105 -40 210 234">
<title>Size Guide</title>
<defs>
<filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="solid">

An obvious workaround to the problem of the blur produced by the filter effect is to render the <text> two times: once for the background (with transparent characters) and once for the characters (without a background filter).
For me, this was the only way to make the text readable in Safari.
<svg width="100%" height="100%">
<filter x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" id="solid">
<feFlood flood-color="yellow" />
</filter>
<g transform="translate(20, 50)" font-size="50">
<text aria-hidden="true" fill="none" filter="url(#solid)">solid background</text>
<text fill="blue">solid background</text>
</g>
</svg>
The aria-hidden="true" attribute is there to prevent screen readers from speaking the text twice, if the user uses a screen reader.
You can add style to your text:
style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
text-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) -2px -2px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) -2px 2px 0px,
rgb(255, 255, 255) 2px -2px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 2px 2px 0px;"
White, in this example.
Does not work in IE :)
