Changing svg element position from its xml

I have some SVG icons that I place in the middle of a svg circle in my web page. I use the same javascript function with Snap for all images but only one is not centered properly...

I tried to put directly the svg in the html to test it (see http://jsfiddle.net/aop5znab/) but as you can notice, the ball is placed correctly, but not the man, which should be on the top left too (like, below the ball...).

As far as I know SVG, the position can be changed with the transform attribut or directly in the path (relativ or absolute path points). My icon hasn't a transform attribute so I think it can only be the path points that are positioning it differently.

Can anybody tell me if I'm right ?

  • If yes, what can I change in the xml of my SVG to set it to the top-left position (without transform please)
  • If no, what's the problem ?

Here is my SVG :

<g style="fill:#808080">
    <g fill="#0ea507">
        <circle cx="75.042" cy="68.168999" r="4.3889999" fill="#0ea507" d="M 79.431,68.168999 C 79.431,70.592976 77.465978,72.557999 75.042,72.557999 72.618022,72.557999 70.653,70.592976 70.653,68.168999 70.653,65.745021 72.618022,63.779999 75.042,63.779999 77.465978,63.779999 79.431,65.745021 79.431,68.168999 z"/>

Note : I tried this but it didn't changed anything...

Solution

  • The best solution I've found is to use inkscape like answered in this thread : Removing transforms in SVG files

    Here's a copy/past of the steps proposed in the answer :

    Remove transforms in Inkscape

    1. Open svg file in Inkscape
    2. Go to Edit > XML Editor
    3. Find transform attributes in layers and delete them

    How to move all objects altogether without creating another transform attributes

    1. Ungroup all grouped elements with Object > Ungroup
    2. Go to Edit > Select All in All Layers
    3. Go to Object > Transform

    Then In Transform panel

    1. Uncheck Relative move and check Apply to each object separately
    2. Set Horizontal and Vertical values according to your needs and click Apply
