Hi Helder, When you figure it out, please let me know (or better yet add it somewhere in http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/svgprimer.html :)
I've just typically been lazy and drawn a <rect width="100%" height="100%" x="0%" y="0%" fill="none" /> and then measured it using getBBox, but that's both clunky seeming and maybe won't work right with viewports. cheers David ----- Original Message ----- From: heldermagalhaes To: svg-developers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 1:08 PM Subject: [svg-developers] Determining viewport size Hi everyone, It seems a simple question, although I'm not being able to find an easy answer: how can one determine the actual (screen) viewport size? I remember using innerWidth/innerHeight in the past (window object properties) but AFAIK these are not standard: at least, "Window size and position information" isn't addressed in the current Window Object specification [1]. Also, for example, these properties aren't supported by Batik [2] and probably other "pure" SVG implementations. Nevertheless, they seem to be supported by every Web browser that I'm aware of, so could this be seen as a Batik et. al. limitation? (That is, could one expect the properties to be made standard in a short-to-medium term?) One could also try getting limit coordinates (using a combination of the "width"/"height"/"viewBox" properties) and later do some maths to transform them to screen coordinates but intuitively this will fail unless "preserveAspectRatio" [3] is set to "none" (which would force the whole viewbox to be used but isn't often used as the graphics will appear stretched). Please shed some light into this matter and/or point me in the right direction: maybe I'm just missing something... ;-) Cheers, Helder [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/Window/ [2] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/status.html#ecmascript [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/coords.html#PreserveAspectRatioAttribute [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: svg-developers-unsubscr...@yahoogroups.com -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
