This type of coding is done for animation and supports animation and interactivity. In basic terms, SVG is a programming language that describes scenes that happen in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.framer.com\/examples\/svg-animation\/\">animations<\/a>. SVG is written in XML, which stores and transfers digital information. XML is an SVG file that specifies shapes, colors, and text that make up that image.<\/p>\n<p>Different tools can be used to create SVG files which are Adobe Illustrator, Sketch, and Inscape. You could also try the free options that support SVG files, such as Inkscape, GIMP, and Vectornator.<\/p>\n<p>SVG files have commonly been used to create 2D images; however, you could place 3D images onto the 2D images with a little more effort, thus creating a 3D image.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18933\" src=\"https:\/\/animasmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/SVG-Animation.jpg\" alt=\"Seamless SVG Animation\" width=\"936\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animasmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/SVG-Animation.jpg 936w, https:\/\/animasmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/SVG-Animation-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 936px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>SVG Elements<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are a few animation elements that are involved with SVG files and these are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&lt;animate&gt;<\/li>\n<li>&lt;set&gt;<\/li>\n<li>&lt;animateMotion&gt;<\/li>\n<li>&lt;animateColor&gt;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Added to some of these elements are a few other elements that are added to enhance the &lt;animateMotion&gt; element and a few more that are additional animation elements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&lt;animateTransform&gt;<\/li>\n<li>path (attribute)<\/li>\n<li>mpath (attribute)<\/li>\n<li>keypoints (attribute)<\/li>\n<li>rotate (attribute)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>xlink:href- How to specify the animation using this element<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that SVG 2 has removed the need for xlink, and you can <a href=\"https:\/\/css-tricks.com\/svg-use-external-source\/\">now use href. <\/a>This link usage will depend on the context of each element that will be using it.<\/p>\n<p>This link aims to specify the target of a certain element. This link will take the target element and modify it over time. However, that target would need to be part of the current SVG document fragment.<\/p>\n<p>These href links help to separate your elements. If you do not add them, you\u2019ll find that your elements will not be separated. It\u2019s like giving your animation sequence punctuation. It gets confusing if you don\u2019t put full stops and commas and the rest of the punctuation.<\/p>\n<p>There are two uses for the href link, which include:<\/p>\n<p>The first would be that using this link will help encapsulate your command into the animation element it belongs to.<\/p>\n<p>The second would be to separate a certain element of the sequence and place it elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18934\" src=\"https:\/\/animasmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/SVG-Animation-2.jpg\" alt=\"SVG Animation\" width=\"936\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animasmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/SVG-Animation-2.jpg 936w, https:\/\/animasmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/SVG-Animation-2-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 936px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Specifying the Target- attributeName and attribute type<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>All of the animation elements share a common attribute which is their attributeName. This is used in the form of a name. It names the attribute you want to use. It\u2019s important to know that an attribute name needs to be used one at a time unless you are defining more than one animation for the sequence. This helps with complexity as it makes working with SVG files much easier, although it is tedious. This is something you\u2019d need to pay close attention to help with your SVG file being more seamless and smooth.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a little dive into attribute types. While it\u2019s all good to specify the attribute name, you\u2019d also need to specify the attribute type. You can do this by adding an XMLNS prefix, which is short for the XML prefix. You could also specify the attribute by using the attribute type attribute. It\u2019s important to note that some attributes may be found on CSS property but only on XML. You can be able to find a table with most of the attributes.<\/p>\n<p>If you find that the attribute you are looking for isn\u2019t set automatically can<a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en-US\/docs\/Web\/SVG\/Attribute\"> search through a list <\/a>and try and find the attribute name. If you\u2019re still struggling with that, then you could search for the default XML namespace for that specific element.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are many ways to create a seamless and smooth animation through SVG files. All you need to do is ensure that your technical work is done right and that everything is where it should be. Mastering SVG is not as difficult when you know what you\u2019re doing and what you want to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As it\u2019s commonly known, SVG is short for Scalable Vector Graphics.
