I have the following system:
<html>
<head>
<style>
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 3000 3000">
<defs>
<symbol id="triangle" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<polygon points="0,100 50,0 100,100" class="triangle" />
</symbol>
<symbol id="tree" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<use href="#triangle" width="100" height="100" />
</symbol>
</defs>
<use href="#tree" width="200" height="400" x="1000" />
<use href="#tree" width="100" height="100" x="1100" />
</svg>
</body>
</html>
For the following:
<use href="#tree" width="200" height="400" x="1000" />
I would expect it to be a triangle that's twice the height as the width (200x400). But it just ends up being a random size that is proportional to the original 100x100 triangle.
Wondering how to get this to scale/squish the image so I can use use
in multiple times and have it show different height trees all with the same width.
Same with making a #rect
symbol that you can size with any width/height and it creates an appropriately shaped rectangle. If I try the following it just shows a square.
<symbol id="rect" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<rect width='100' height='100' />
</symbol>
<use href="#rect" width="400" height="300" x="1300" y="1000" />
Add preserveAspectRatio="none"
to your symbol elements.
