As often as I've seen this question in the past n years (for some n > k) I'd have to resurrect the suggestion that scaling and rotation relative to the center be added to the spec:
transform="scale(2, centroid)" or transform="rotate(90, BBCenter)" , or something like it, just oughta make sense. In the meantime, see http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/svgprimer.html#multiple for the basics and http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/newstuff/transformRotate1.svg for doing it with animateTransform. additive="sum" is the magical key that unlocks the door! I hope this helps Cheers David From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of gjella Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2012 7:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [svg-developers] Scaling from center point of element Hi! I'm having trouble scaling a g-tag from center point. The item will grow right/bottom, but I need to scale the element from its center point, growing in all directions. I'm using the animateTransform for scaling: <animateTransform attributeName="transform" attributeType="XML" type="scale" from="1" to="1.5" dur="3s" fill="freeze"/> I've read scaling from center point is not supported in SVG, but I refuse to believe this is true. Up to now I have compensated the bottom/right positioning with an additional translate-animation, but this is nasty :/. Anyone done this?
