I want to move a rect
along a path
. Therefore I translated the rect
so that it's position is the begin of the path
. But when I start the animation the rect
the translation is interpreted relative to the path
. Thus the rect
moves with the translation offset along the path.
Here is an example:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" width="600px"
height="400px">
<defs />
<path id="path" d="M 100 100 L 100 15 L 500 15 L 500 150" fill="none" stroke="#000000" stroke-width="3"
stroke-miterlimit="10" pointer-events="none" />
<g transform="translate(50,75)">
<rect height="50" width="100" fill="#FDD34D" rx="10" stroke-width="1px" stroke="#000000">
</rect>
<text x="15" y="28">Click me !</text>
<animateMotion id="move" dur="4.6s" begin="click">
<mpath xlink:href="#path" />
</animateMotion>
</g>
</svg>
How can I make the rect
to move on the path?
EDIT
I'm looking for a solution that works with multiple different paths. E.g.
<svg viewBox="-100 -130 700 400">
<defs />
<path id="path" d="M 0 0 L 0 -90 L 500 -90 L 500 150" fill="none" stroke="#ff0000" stroke-width="3"
stroke-miterlimit="10" pointer-events="none" />
<path id="path2" d="M 150 0 L 150 90 L -50 90 L -50 150" fill="none" stroke="#ff0000" stroke-width="3"
stroke-miterlimit="10" pointer-events="none" />
<g>
<rect height="50" width="100" x="-50" y="-25" fill="#FDD34D" rx="10" stroke-width="1px" stroke="#000000" />
<text text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="middle">Click me !</text>
<animateMotion id="move" dur="4.6s" begin="click">
<mpath xlink:href="#path" />
</animateMotion>
</g>
<g>
<rect height="50" width="100" x="100" y="-25" fill="#FDD34D" rx="10" stroke-width="1px" stroke="#000000" />
<text text-anchor="middle" x="150" dominant-baseline="middle">Click me !</text>
<animateMotion id="move" dur="4.6s" begin="click">
<mpath xlink:href="#path2" />
</animateMotion>
</g>
</svg>
The main idea is to have the text and the rectangle centered around the point x=0, y=0
<svg viewBox="-100 -130 700 400">
<defs />
<path id="path" d="M 0 0 L 0 -90 L 500 -90 L 500 150" fill="none" stroke="#ff0000" stroke-width="3"
stroke-miterlimit="10" pointer-events="none" />
<g>
<rect height="50" width="100" x="-50" y="-25" fill="#FDD34D" rx="10" stroke-width="1px" stroke="#000000"/>
<text text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="middle">Click me !</text>
<animateMotion id="move" dur="4.6s" begin="click">
<mpath xlink:href="#path" />
</animateMotion>
</g>
</svg>
