Playing SVG Darts: Target Practice

Would you like to play darts using SVG? This first article covers the drawing of the dart board, reuse of graphical elements, and how to create and use fonts in SVG.

avatarStelt,

Nice article!

I suggest that for your next article you test it out in Firefox as well. Your examples don't really show up very well (they are enlarged and the frames have scrollbars). I think if you remove the width/height attributes on the SVG element that would fix it.

Then again, the glyphs in Firefox display much too large, do you know why this is? Here's hoping they fix this in Firefox 3.

Thanks,
Jeff

avatarSummarizing:
- Test in Firefox too !
- Examples are enlarged and frames have scrollbars.
- Remove width/height on SVG (?)
- Glyphs too large in Firefox, why?

Thanks Jeff,

As my next article will build on this one, your feedback is extra useful.

avatarJeff, I acted on your suggestions.
Anything else?

avatarthe page is not valid according to the W3C validator (the "</p>" that is now after "very, very similar." should go after "make up the dartboard.")
neither are darts.svg and glyphs.svg (both need "<missing-glyph/>" before 1st glyph)

the "p" in "accessibility.p" is to be deleted.

Can a moderator please make the changes?

avatarThe HTML invalidities mentioned in the above post are fixed, the SVG invalidities are however still there.

Can a moderator please make the simple fixes?

avatarThe SVG errors should be fixed now - let me know.

Although I was a bit confused about this fix:

"the "p" in "accessibility.p" is to be deleted."

where is this found? I looked all through the source files.
