In accordance with this topic:
Firefox 38-40 SMIL problems - very slow speed (resolved in FF version 41 from 22.09.15)
and this topic:
SVG tag 'animateTransform' does not work well. It would be nice to replace SMIL (animate tag) with CSS or CSS transitions.
CONSOLE WARNING: Please use CSS animations or Web animations instead),
which would work fast on the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome.
The next Google Chrome warning:
CONSOLE WARNING: SVG's SMIL animations ('animate', 'set', etc.) are deprecated
and will be removed. Please use CSS animations or Web animations instead.
Revision 196823: Add SMIL deprecation warning
For a start, I need to implement three things:
How it was:
<rect x="-0.5" y="-0.5" width="1" height="1" fill="white">
<!--it makes half-visible selecting effect -->
<set attributeName="stroke-opacity" begin="mouseover" end="mouseout" to="0.5"/>
<!-- explicitly reverse the opacity animation on mouseout -->
<set attributeName="stroke-opacity" begin="mouseout" end="mouseover" to="1"/>
</rect>
I removed the set
tags, added classes to the rect
tag and added to this to the CSS hover Pseudo-class:
.element_tpl:hover {
stroke-opacity: 0.5;
}
How it was:
<!--animation-->
<!--it scales a few times after change committed to this element -->
<animateTransform attributeType="XML" attributeName="transform" type="scale" dur="0.5s" keyTimes="0;0.5;0.5;1" values="1;1.12;1.12;1" repeatCount="6" fill="freeze"/>
How to organize without the animate
tag:
???
How it was:
<!--it animates scale up and scale down onclick -->
<animateTransform attributeName="transform" attributeType="XML" type="scale" from="1" to="1.15" repeatCount="1" begin="mousedown+0.2s" dur = "0.2s" fill="freeze"/>
<animateTransform attributeName="transform" attributeType="XML" type="scale" from="1.15" to="1" repeatCount="1" begin="mouseup+0.4s" dur = "0.2s" fill="freeze"/>
How to organize without animate
tag? Tried to use :active
, but there are differences in the behavior:
.element_tpl:active {
transform: scale(1.1);
}
This is the entire code of my template element:
<g id="switcher" cursor="pointer" stroke-width="0.15">
<g transform="scale(1,1.375)">
<g>
<rect x="-0.5" y="-0.5" width="1" height="1" stroke="white" pointer-events="none"/>
<rect x="-0.5" y="-0.5" width="1" height="1" fill="white">
<!--it makes half-visible selecting effect -->
<set attributeName="stroke-opacity" begin="mouseover" end="mouseout" to="0.5"/>
<!-- explicitly reverse the opacity animation on mouseout -->
<set attributeName="stroke-opacity" begin="mouseout" end="mouseover" to="1"/>
</rect>
<line x1="0" y1="-0.25" x2="0" y2="0.25" stroke-width="0.17" stroke-linecap="round" pointer-events="none"/><!-- vertical on -->
<!--animation-->
<!--it scales a few times after change committed to this element -->
<animateTransform attributeType="XML" attributeName="transform" type="scale" dur="0.5s" keyTimes="0;0.5;0.5;1" values="1;1.12;1.12;1" repeatCount="6" fill="freeze"/>
<!--it animates scale up and scale down onclick -->
<animateTransform attributeName="transform" attributeType="XML"
type="scale" from="1" to="1.15" repeatCount="1" begin="mousedown+0.2s" dur = "0.2s"
fill="freeze"/>
<animateTransform attributeName="transform" attributeType="XML"
type="scale" from="1.15" to="1" repeatCount="1" begin="mouseup+0.4s" dur = "0.2s"
fill="freeze"/>
</g>
</g>
</g>
Working version from my current working project looks like:
http://jsfiddle.net/7e2jeet0 (previously only used by a browser FF - because (pay attention) hover works here with 2 figures - cause [Chrome support SMIL and 'use' together, Firefox does not currently support SMIL and 'use' together] / according to Robert Longson)
in my attempt to make the equivalent CSS, it looks like
http://jsfiddle.net/7e2jeet0/1/ (in FF)
http://jsfiddle.net/7e2jeet0/2/ (in Chrome)
or the same for other element. Working version:
Thanks!
I found that this combination variant will work fine for hover and mousedown in Firefox, but only the hover effect works in Chrome.
I'm also interested in how could I save some of these animations:
by transfering them to CSS / Web animations?
SMIL support was not removed from Chrome but was replaced with a Polyfill. Eric Willigers has created a SMIL polyfill implemented entirely on the Web Animations API. You can find it here: https://github.com/ericwilligers/svg-animation
