Hi! I'm just starting with SVG and tearing my hair out because it is ignoring my attempts to scale an image. I have an SVG 'island' within my DOM as follows:
<span class="image"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" width="1000px" height="110px"> <svg viewBox="0 0 194 102" preserveAspectRatio="none"> <g> <rect id="svg_1" height="97" width="189" y="2.5" x="2.5" stroke-width="5" stroke="#000000" fill="#FF0000"/> <ellipse ry="19" rx="93.5" id="svg_2" cy="52.5" cx="97" stroke-width="5" stroke="#000000" fill="#ffff00"/> </g> </svg> </svg> </span> My understanding of this is that it should scale the rectangle and elipse to fill the dimensions of the outer SVG element. But it does not, the shapes remain the size specified regardless of the outer SVG width and height. If the width and height are set less than 194x102, then the shapes are clipped to the size specified. What am I missing here? Note that I have tried it in numerous modern browsers and I have also tried numerous variations including eliminating the inner SVG element and adding its attributes to the outer. One clue is I tried replacing the viewBox attribute with 'transform="rotate(90)"' but that has no effect either so it seems transforms are being ignored altogether. Please help me if you can! ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [email protected] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
