Dylan,

basically no,
as a minimum you definitely need the xlink:href
href is not part of svg which is why you are defining xlink in the root and then referencing that definition.

Hi all,

I have a question about the attributes that are added into my “use” tag when I generate it. Basically I am attempting to ‘streamline’ my SVG to reduce file size, so any attributes that are not required I’d like to strip out.

My code looks like this…

Element plotCh = doc.createElementNS(SVGDOMImplementation.SVG_NAMESPACE_URI, SVG12Constants.SVG_USE_TAG); plotCh.setAttributeNS(XMLConstants.XLINK_NAMESPACE_URI, "xlink:href", "#" + type); plotCh.setAttributeNS(null, SVG12Constants.SVG_TRANSFORM_ATTRIBUTE, "translate(" + x + "," + y + ")" +"scale(" + scale + ")");

The resultant SVG looks like this:

<use transform="translate(74.57333333333332,96.58609675667977)scale(5.0)" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; xlink:href="#circle" xlink:type="simple" xlink:actuate="onLoad" xlink:show="embed">

I was wondering if there was a way I could remove the inclusion of the xlink namespace etc, as these are defined in the root of my SVG document?

I’ve tried doing a removeAttributeNS but either this is not possible or I am attempting to reference them by the wrong namespace. I’ve tried variations on something like this:

plotCh.removeAttributeNS(XMLConstants.XLINK_NAMESPACE_URI, "xlink:show");

PS This is topic I raised many moons ago, and kindly received some tips from Thomas. For reference:

Thanks in advance as always,

Dylan
