SVG Reference Complete SVG Reference

Definition and Usage

The SVG animateColor element is used to specify a color transformation over time.

Example 1

This example creates three rectangles that will change color.

Copy the following code into Notepad and save the file as "animatecolor_1.svg". Place the file in your Web directory:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">

<svg width="100%" height="100%" version="1.1"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

<rect x="10" y="20" width="90" height="60">
<animateColor id="a1" attributeName="fill"
from="red" to="blue"
dur="3s"/>
</rect>
<rect x="10" y="120" width="90" height="60">
<animateColor id="a2" attributeName="fill"
from="blue" to="yellow"
begin="a1.end" dur="3s"/>
</rect>
<rect x="10" y="220" width="90" height="60">
<animateColor id="a3" attributeName="fill"
from="yellow" to="green"
begin="a2.end" dur="3s"/>
</rect>

</svg>

Example 2

This example animates the x, y, width, and height attributes of a rectangle for a period of 6 seconds (making the rectangle "grow"). It will also change the color of the rectangle with the animateColor element.

Copy the following code into Notepad and save the file as "animate_2.svg". Place the file in your Web directory:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">

<svg width="100%" height="100%" version="1.1"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

<rect id="rec" x="300" y="100" width="300"
height="100" style="fill:lime">
<animate attributeName="x" attributeType="XML"
begin="0s" dur="6s" fill="freeze" from="300" to="0"/>
<animate attributeName="y" attributeType="XML"
begin="0s" dur="6s" fill="freeze" from="100" to="0"/>
<animate attributeName="width" attributeType="XML"
begin="0s" dur="6s" fill="freeze" from="300" to="800"/>
<animate attributeName="height" attributeType="XML"
begin="0s" dur="6s" fill="freeze" from="100" to="300"/>
<animateColor attributeName="fill" attributeType="CSS"
from="lime" to="red" begin="2s" dur="4s" fill="freeze"/>
</rect>
