SVG Clipping Path Examples — Using Paths And Text
The last couple of weeks, I’ve been talking about SVG clipping paths and their attributes. So far in the series I’ve stuck to rectangles as the path in order to keep things simple, however you aren’t limited to using rectangles. In fact clipping paths become a lot more interesting when they aren’t rectangular or when you clip something more than a simple shape.
More About SVG Clipping Paths
Last week I showed you the very basics of SVG clipping paths. I mentioned the difference between clipping and masking and then worked through a simple example to show you SVG clipping paths in action. I closed by showing how to do the same thing using the CSS clip-path property.
SVG Clipping Paths
Last year I published several series (25 posts in total) on the subject of SVG. First was a series on the basics of creating SVG shapes, lines, and curves and adding fill colors and strokes to them. I followed that series with another with more intermediate topics such as reusing SVG code and using patterns and gradients to fill SVG graphics. I closed the year with a series on SVG Text.
CSS Clipping and Masking: Examples and Observations
On Monday I walked through the spec for css clipping and masking. Since the post grew a little long, I promised some examples for today. I’ll also offer a few observations at the end of the post.
