Calder SVG

Description

Animate prepared SVG drawing as a mobile picture. Uses Anime.js and Vivus.js

Examples:

Shortcode

Add desired prepared (see example) images in wordpress standard uploads folder (on multisite uploads/sites/#/), and add shortcode to any page, specifing svg folder to use and animate:

[caldersvg svgs="wp-content/my/folder/containing/svg/files/"]

or

[caldersvg svgs="/var/www/mysite/wp-content/my/folder/containing/svg/files/"]

with all your .svg files in last folder.

The svgs parameter DOES NOT contain a URL (starting by http://), but a relative path on the server.

You can test with default demo files, included inside plugin (under calder-svg/svg/), but you have to copy them under your uploads wordpress folder before, and use something like shortcode:

[caldersvg svgs="../../svg/musicians/"]

SVG file example

If using Inkscape to create the SVG files, please save your files as Optimized SVG, then check that your file is containing a stroke and no fill for each path (else you could experience strange displays).
Like:

fill="none" stroke-width="1" stroke="#cecece"


<svg id="svg7876" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 571.25 650" version="1.1" xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
    <g id="g8426">
        <path id="path8440" fill="none" stroke-width="1" stroke="#cecece" d="m0 596.79c0-44.452 0.29402-53.508 1.7857-55 0.9822-0.99
