SVG animateTransform Element


SVG Reference Complete SVG Reference

Definition and Usage

The SVG animateTransform element is used to animate a transformation attribute on an element.


Example 1

This example creates a text that will move along a motion path. The text will also rotate and scale.

Copy the following code into Notepad and save the file as "animatemotion_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">
<g transform="translate(100,100)"> 
<text id="TextElement" x="0" y="0"
style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:24; 
visibility:hidden"> It's SVG!
<set attributeName="visibility" attributeType="CSS"
to="visible" begin="1s" dur="5s" fill="freeze"/>
<animateMotion path="M 0 0 L 100 100" begin="1s"
dur="5s" fill="freeze"/>
<animateTransform attributeName="transform"
attributeType="XML" type="rotate" from="-30" to="0"
begin="1s" dur="5s" fill="freeze"/> 
<animateTransform attributeName="transform"
attributeType="XML" type="scale" from="1" to="3"
additive="sum" begin="1s" dur="5s" fill="freeze"/> 
</text> 
</g>
</svg>

Example 2

This example creates a text that will move along a motion path. The text will also rotate, scale and change color. We have also added a rectangle that will "grow" and change color in the background.

Copy the following code into Notepad and save the file as "animatemotion_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>
<g transform="translate(100,100)"> 
<text id="TextElement" x="0" y="0"
style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:24;visibility:hidden">
It's SVG!
<set attributeName="visibility" attributeType="CSS"
to="visible" begin="1s" dur="5s" fill="freeze"/>
<animateMotion path="M 0 0 L 100 100" begin="1s"
dur="5s" fill="freeze"/>
<animateColor attributeName="fill" attributeType="CSS"
from="red" to="blue" begin="1s" dur="5s" fill="freeze"/> 
<animateTransform attributeName="transform"
attributeType="XML" type="rotate" from="-30" to="0"
begin="1s" dur="5s" fill="freeze"/> 
<animateTransform attributeName="transform"
attributeType="XML" type="scale" from="1" to="3"
additive="sum" begin="1s" dur="5s" fill="freeze"/> 
</text> 
</g>
</svg>
