This can be a little hard to understand when you are first starting to use SVG, so let’s look at some simple examples. Note: this number of units will fill however much screen space you have allocated. Both the height and width have to be positive integers. The final value is the number of units of height that the viewport should display. The next value is the number of units of width the viewport should display. They can either be positive or negative values. The first two values are the x,y coordinates on the canvas where the viewport upper, left corner should be located. These values can either be separated by commas or spaces. The viewBox attribute receives four values. So if you put you SVG element into a Bootstrap column that takes up half the page width, setting an SVG width of 100% means it will take up the entire width of the column, or 50% of the page. I should also point out that the viewport is scaled in relation to the parent element in most cases. This allows the region of the page they take up to scale. Importantly for responsiveness, they can also take responsive measurements like %, vw, vh, and em, just to name a few. The SVG viewport attributes can take unitless values that will use the same units as the parent element or the browser, which are usually ‘px’ by default.
In this example, I have set both the width and height to 200. Within the Pinegrow Properties panel there are input boxes that allow you to set both. You can set it either inline using the width and height style properties, or more preferably by using those same properties as attributes on the SVG element. Setting the SVG viewport is essentially the same as setting the height and width of most any element on the page. So, the same size viewport could be used for both slices without a loss of resolution. The second important concept for working with SVG images is that the size of the slice of canvas that we select – whether it is 100px or 1000px wide – can be scaled up or down into a region of the screen defined by a viewport. The area of the canvas that we are viewing is defined by the viewBox attribute. A single image can then be selected within that file by just changing the region of the canvas being displayed. This allows, for example, the creation of files containing multiple SVG images tiled in a grid. So, we can choose to view only a small 100px by 100px region of the canvas located in the very center, or a larger 1000px by 1000px region located at the upper left. The first important concept is that when we place an SVG onto our webpage we are defining how much of that infinite canvas we are seeing – this includes both the overall area of the canvas we are seeing, but also the location of that area. Whether simple or complex however, both are drawn on a canvas that essentially is infinite in size. They can be very simple, like a rectangle or an axis on a chart, or really complex like the graphics seen in the Bootstrap 4 Blocks “Agency” template.

Again, SVG are graphics composed of a series of geometric shapes, including points, lines, and polygons. There are two really important concepts to understand when using SVG. Of course, you can also do both! Video 1 – Basic SVG Terminology Watch the three videos or continue reading if you prefer. This tutorial is available in video and textual form.

Pinegrow 4 not showing images how to#
Pinegrow has great support for SVG and in this tutorial we will cover the basic terminology of SVG, how to manipulate them in Pinegrow, and some of the pros and cons of inline SVG versus an embedded SVG file. SVG are great to use when you have images made up of geometric forms with crisp lines. They can scale up or down on the page without losing resolution. This means that they are highly responsive. Unlike many types of images, SVG do not use pixels and instead use a series of vectors to create images. Both the Bootstrap 4 and Tailwind Blocks in Pinegrow utilize inline Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) images. This tutorial is a little more theoretical than some in this series.
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) are a light-weight way to display vector images that can be displayed at any resolution and manipulated by both CSS and JavaScript methods.
