 *  [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/calder-svg/#installation)
 * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/calder-svg/#developers)

 [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/calder-svg/)

## Description

Animate prepared SVG drawing as a mobile picture. Uses [Anime.js](http://anime-js.com/)
and [Vivus.js](https://maxwellito.github.io/vivus/)

Examples:

 * [Musicians](http://caldersvg.termel.fr/)
 * [Politicians](http://caldersvg.termel.fr/politicians/)

### 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
    ```
