Layers are NOT adapt to animations, because layers cannot share objects with the same id. The user or the web designer would have only to draw the frames as a multipage svg file and passing it to this function. What I suggest is exactly a way to avoid writing all animations in javascript, but just using a single general ready to use function based on Snap.svg for animate icons. net/Development /AnimatedSVGIco ns/Īnyway, as you say the animations are made by hand-editing the svg file. You can check by yourself those icons made in Inkscape drawing 2 different SVG icons, the start and the destination one: It is also very easy to add a 'preview' option using Snap.svg.ĭid you read the article I linked? I use Snap.svg since january following the technique described there, and it works fine. This is way layers cannot be used: objects with the same id cannot be shared between different layers.Īdding multipage animation support in Inkscape would be cool. Here Snap.svg would automatically 'tween' and interpolate the key frames generating the missing frames by interpolating elements with the same id. Then export the multipage svg, and import it in your web project. Then you just need to add some 'key' pages at a certain indexes (es.

For example for 1 second of a button animation you have 30 frames.

If Inkscape would add multipage support, it would allow to create animations using the pages as frames.

It is very painful to make animations using many different svg files, because you cannot compare them in an onion-layering way, or going back and fourth between frames with arrows when editing them.

net/codrops/ 2013/11/ 05/animated- svg-icons- with-snap- svg/ You can see an example of this in this excellent tutorial: svg files, and then using animation libraries like Snap.SVG to play those as frames and creating/blending the in-between frames automatically. I said it in the multipage thread, but I think this deserves a more specific post: adding multiple pages support (SVG 1.2) would be an excellent way to helping doing SVG ANIMATIONS.Ĭurrently SVG animations are made saving DIFFERENT SVG frames as individual.
