view

A view is a defined way to view the image, like a zoom level or a detail view.

This element implements the SVGViewElement interface.

Usually, this element is created with:

const view = parentElement.add('view')

It's possible to create it as a disconnected element with gSVG('view') and attach it to the SVG document with .attachTo().

.viewBox()

element.viewBox( minX, minY, width, height )

Set the viewBox attribute. It defines the position and dimension, in user space, of an SVG viewport. With four values specify a rectangle in user space which is mapped to the bounds of the viewport established for the SVG element.

• argument: {number} minX x-axis min value

• argument: {number} minY y-axis min value

• argument: {number} width width value

• argument: {number} height height value

• returns: {gSVGObject} The original object

element.viewBox( viewBoxArray )

Set the viewBox attribute with an array with four values.

• argument: {Array} viewBoxArray Array with four numeric values

• returns: {gSVGObject} The original object

element.viewBox( viewBoxString )

Set the viewBox attribute with a string.

• argument: {string} viewBoxString Four numeric values separated by coma or space

• returns: {gSVGObject} The original object

const viewBox = element.viewBox();

Get the viewBox current value.

• returns: {string} four values separate by coma

.preserveAspectRatio()

element.preserveAspectRatio( align )

Set the preserveAspectRatio attribute. It indicates how an element with a viewBox providing a given aspect ratio must fit into a viewport with a different aspect ratio.

• argument: {string} align Must be 'none' | 'xMinYMin' | 'xMidYMin' | 'xMaxYMin' | 'xMinYMid' | 'xMidYMid' (the default) | 'xMaxYMid' | 'xMinYMax' | 'xMidYMax' | 'xMaxYMax' and can be complemented with 'meet' (the default) | 'slice'

• returns: {gSVGObject} The original object

const align = element.preserveAspectRatio();

Get the preserveAspectRatio current value.

• returns: {string} Current align configuration

• Parent elements: a | defs | g | marker | mask | pattern | svg | symbol.

• Child elements: desc | metadata | title.
