mxSvgCanvas2D

Extends mxAbstractCanvas2D to implement a canvas for SVG. This canvas writes all calls as SVG output to the given SVG root node.

var svgDoc = mxUtils.createXmlDocument();
var root = (svgDoc.createElementNS != null) ?
     svgDoc.createElementNS(mxConstants.NS_SVG, 'svg') : svgDoc.createElement('svg');

if (svgDoc.createElementNS == null)
{
  root.setAttribute('xmlns', mxConstants.NS_SVG);
  root.setAttribute('xmlns:xlink', mxConstants.NS_XLINK);
}
else
{
  root.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/', 'xmlns:xlink', mxConstants.NS_XLINK);
}

var bounds = graph.getGraphBounds();
root.setAttribute('width', (bounds.x + bounds.width + 4) + 'px');
root.setAttribute('height', (bounds.y + bounds.height + 4) + 'px');
root.setAttribute('version', '1.1');

svgDoc.appendChild(root);

var svgCanvas = new mxSvgCanvas2D(root);

A description of the public API is available in mxXmlCanvas2D.

To disable anti-aliasing in the output, use the following code.

graph.view.canvas.ownerSVGElement.setAttribute('shape-rendering', 'crispEdges');

Or set the respective attribute in the SVG element directly.

Functions

mxSvgCanvas2D

function mxSvgCanvas2D( root,
styleEnabled )

Constructs a new SVG canvas.

Parameters

root	SVG container for the output.
styleEnabled	Optional boolean that specifies if a style section should be added. The style section sets the default font-size, font-family and stroke-miterlimit globally. Default is false.

Variables

root

this.root

Reference to the container for the SVG content.

gradients

this.gradients

Local cache of gradients for quick lookups.

defs

this.defs

Reference to the defs section of the SVG document. Only for export.

styleEnabled

this.styleEnabled

Stores the value of styleEnabled passed to the constructor.

path

Holds the current DOM node.

matchHtmlAlignment

mxSvgCanvas2D.prototype.matchHtmlAlignment

Specifies if plain text output should match the vertical HTML alignment. Defaul is true.

textEnabled

mxSvgCanvas2D.prototype.textEnabled

Specifies if text output should be enabled. Default is true.

foEnabled

mxSvgCanvas2D.prototype.foEnabled

Specifies if use of foreignObject for HTML markup is allowed. Default is true.

foAltText

mxSvgCanvas2D.prototype.foAltText

Specifies the fallback text for unsupported foreignObjects in exported documents. Default is ‘[Object]’. If this is set to null then no fallback text is added to the exported document.

foOffset

mxSvgCanvas2D.prototype.foOffset

Offset to be used for foreignObjects.

textOffset

mxSvgCanvas2D.prototype.textOffset

Offset to be used for text elements.

imageOffset

mxSvgCanvas2D.prototype.imageOffset

Offset to be used for image elements.

strokeTolerance

mxSvgCanvas2D.prototype.strokeTolerance

Adds transparent paths for strokes.

minStrokeWidth

mxSvgCanvas2D.prototype.minStrokeWidth

Minimum stroke width for output.

refCount

mxSvgCanvas2D.prototype.refCount

Local counter for references in SVG export.

blockImagePointerEvents

mxSvgCanvas2D.prototype.blockImagePointerEvents

Specifies if a transparent rectangle should be added on top of images to absorb all pointer events. Default is false. This is only needed in Firefox to disable control-clicks on images.

lineHeightCorrection

mxSvgCanvas2D.prototype.lineHeightCorrection

Correction factor for mxConstants.LINE_HEIGHT in HTML output. Default is 1.

pointerEventsValue

mxSvgCanvas2D.prototype.pointerEventsValue

Default value for active pointer events. Default is all.

Padding to be added for text that is not wrapped to account for differences in font metrics on different platforms in pixels. Default is 10.

cacheOffsetSize

mxSvgCanvas2D.prototype.cacheOffsetSize

Specifies if offsetWidth and offsetHeight should be cached. Default is true. This is used to speed up repaint of text in <updateText>.
