The point you think should be the first one to draw on, isn’t always the one Illustrator decides to put first in the SVG’s definition.(Silly computers!) When this happens, editing the path in Illustrator can change the starting point of your animation. Changing the start point of the path animation ![]() I know I’ve learned this the hard way more than once! So, here are three Illustrator ticks that can make your life easier when animating SVG strokes: 1. And in the case of SVG stroke animations, editing the SVG can make animation changes that your code couldn’t make. Sometimes editing your SVG can get you to the visual results you want faster than writing more code would. Which is why the way your SVG path is drawn can have such a big impact on what those stroke animations look like. ( CSS-Tricks explains is well here.) The code you use to animate the the stroke appearing doesn’t change the actual points in the shape itself. ![]() ![]() I Tweeted vaguely about this a couple days ago, but I thought a more detailed explanation and some examples would be way more helpful.įirst, a little background: Whether you’re using CSS or a JavaScript solution like Greensock’s drawSVG to animate SVG strokes, you’re effectively changing the length and positioning of dashes along the stroke under the hood. This can be especially noticeable when you’re animating SVG strokes. The way you draw your SVGs can have a big impact on how easy or hard it is to animate them. ![]()
