[19:58] aukeroorda Hey
[20:00]  fguimont joined #svg-edit
[20:00] aukeroorda Hmm, can someone help me with some <defs> trouble?
[20:01] aukeroorda I have a logo (quite big in text) that I want to <use>, but I don't know the actual coordinates. The logo has the correct coordinates on its own; I am required to give the paramenters <use x=.. y=...> ?
[20:03] aukeroorda #svg
[20:03] fguimont aukeroorda: you're not required to specify the x and y coordinates.
[20:03] fguimont As long as the logo appears squarely inside the viewBox you should be ok
[20:04] fguimont This is to use elsewhere on a page or inside the same image?
[20:04] aukeroorda Nice! Then is this a proper way to link to <defs><g id="nomos_logo"> (many paths) </g></defs>
[20:04] aukeroorda <use xlink:href="#dial_waves">
[20:04] aukeroorda Sorry, I meant this one:
[20:04] aukeroorda <use xlink:href="#nomos_logo">
[20:05] aukeroorda wauw, it came with some newlines
[20:05] aukeroorda It is inside the same svg
[20:08] aukeroorda Hmm, can I have multiple instances of <defs> in my SVG?
[20:08] fguimont That looks right, did you test it out?
[20:09] aukeroorda Maybe that is why it doesnt work
[20:09] fguimont I think you can (I've seen SVGs with multiple instances of defs) but I don't know if it's a good practice
[20:10] aukeroorda Hmm, Ill re-organize it a bit and see if that will make the difference
[20:11] fguimont don't forget to close the use tag  </ use>
[20:12] fguimont (or you can self close it too) <use ... />
[20:13] aukeroorda Heh, good one; Completely forgot to do that
[20:18] aukeroorda Hmm, I get 2/3 <use\>'s working now
[20:21] fguimont That's a start. Is the one not working different somehow?
[20:22] aukeroorda Hmm, I don't think it is
[20:22] aukeroorda Let me make a pastebin of my defs
[20:23] aukeroorda http://pastebin.com/Kq59zXEc
[20:23] aukeroorda I can't get nomos_logo to work
[20:24] aukeroorda Dang, I found it!
[20:24] aukeroorda I put a # inside the ID!
[20:25] fguimont lol
[20:25] aukeroorda Instead of just in the url, I also put one in the id
[20:25] fguimont I make the same mistake sometimes. Everything working good?
[20:25] aukeroorda Yeah
[20:25] fguimont great
[20:26] aukeroorda http://prntscr.com/a1zyif
[20:26] fguimont Looking good
[20:26] aukeroorda Thanks
[20:26] aukeroorda I already have a working svg clock (analog), so now I need to combine those
[20:27] fguimont I did that once too...
[20:28] aukeroorda Oi, those dots make me feel scared
[20:28] fguimont haha, no it worked out well.
[20:28] fguimont I was looking for it online, but its not there anymore :/
[20:29] fguimont I have a copy on my home computer.
[20:29] aukeroorda Ah cool! I am always kinda dissapointed that there are so few good svg hosts, but because of the inline javaScript that works with them; I understand why
[20:30] fguimont Yeah, taking user submitted SVGs means you have to take that into account.
[20:31] fguimont Does anyone do that well?
[20:32] aukeroorda Hmm, not that I know off
[20:32] aukeroorda I think one I used some time ago allowed for inline javaScript, so that could be kinda annoying
[20:32] aukeroorda but including an svg with the <img> html tag disables the javaScript
[20:33] aukeroorda so if you want to use something like this
[20:33] aukeroorda you need to include the SVG with an image tag, and use a <script> tag to include the javaScript seperately
[20:35] fguimont hmm, yea it's no fun. I prefer inline SVGs =)
[20:36] fguimont I think you could secure an untrusted inline SVG within an iframe though.
[21:20] tangentstorm nice to see people talking in here :)
[21:38] aukeroorda : )
[21:45] aukeroorda Hmm, I have a question regarding the svg transform function
[21:48] aukeroorda I tried to explain it in this screenshot: http://prntscr.com/a219ck
[21:48] aukeroorda I have a function to create the coordinates for my <text> element, but I also need to transform it somehow
[21:49] aukeroorda so that the text has an angle
[23:07] tangentstorm are you using svg-edit?
[23:14] aukeroorda ?
[23:14] aukeroorda I though this channel was just for people editing svgs?
[23:14] aukeroorda I didnt know there existed a program or something called svg-edit
[23:14] tangentstorm yep!
[23:15] tangentstorm https://github.com/SVG-Edit/svgedit
[23:15] tangentstorm it's actually a nice way to solve your problem, because you can just draw what you want and then inspect the results in your browser.
[23:16] tangentstorm http://code.google.com/p/svg-edit/ is the old site. it has an online demo, but it's rather out of date.
[23:16] aukeroorda Yeah but I am generating my svg with javaScript
[23:16] aukeroorda I can make it in illustrator, no problem

[23:18] aukeroorda This 2nd paste might work better
[23:18] tangentstorm i don't know what to do to rotate your text that way.
[23:18] aukeroorda This does it
[23:19] tangentstorm oh cool. :) so you figured it out?
[23:22] aukeroorda Yeah
[23:23] aukeroorda I computed a number, and based on the text being rotated between 90-270 degrees, it rotates it another 180 and changes the baseline
[23:24] aukeroorda Actually making a watch called the Tangente
[23:24] aukeroorda Close to your name
[23:25] tangentstorm :)
