I have an application that loads an SVG, then enables the editing of the properties of several of the SVG-elements.
When I want to edit the x and Y-properties of for example a tspan- object I get a problem. In the XML, the tspan-object has an x-value of 20, and a y-value of 20. When I call getBBox() I get x: -48.5 y: -26.015 Then I call getCTM() and transform the BBox-values to the correct coordinates on the screen: x: 151.5 y: 40.89. These values are the ones that I send out to the user for editing. Now to the problem: I don't know how to count backwards and make 151.5 and 40.89 become 20 again. By inverting the CTM-matrix I can go from x: 151.5 and y: 40.89 to x: -48.5 and y: -26.015 but I have no idea how to go from those numbers to 20. //One of the text/tspan-objects I'm trying to modify: <text id="text100" transform="matrix(1 0 0 1 200 66.9043)" startOffset="0"><tspan x="20" y="20" fill="#C40009" font- family="'HelveticaNeue-Roman'" font-size="64" style="text-anchor: end">35</tspan></text> // Messy code to go from BBox-coordinates to Screen-coordinates: PositionControl.prototype.getRealPosition = function(obj, dimension, decimals) { if (decimals == null) decimals = 0; // Get the bounding-box of the object bbox = obj.getBBox(); // Get the transformation-matrix of the object var ctmmatrix = obj.getCTM(); // An SVGPoint-variable var windowPoint = svgDocument.documentElement.createSVGPoint(); // Set the svgPoints variables to that of the bounding-box x and y-coord windowPoint.x = bbox.x; windowPoint.y = bbox.y; // Transform the point with the objects CTM-matrix var viewBoxPoint = windowPoint.matrixTransform(ctmmatrix); // round the numbers var z = Math.pow(10, decimals); // Return the transformed values if (dimension == "x") return Math.round(viewBoxPoint.x * z)/z; else if (dimension == "y") return Math.round(viewBoxPoint.y * z)/z; else return 0; } ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
