Fundamentals of SVG Programming: Concepts to Source Code (Graphics Series)

Summary

This chapter focused on presenting various techniques for rendering text with different shading effects. In case you are unfamiliar with these shading effects, you can find examples of them in previous chapters. The examples in this chapter demonstrated how to combine the SVG text element with the SVG elements listed below:

• the SVG text element to display text strings

• the SVG rotate element to rotate text strings

• the SVG linearGradient element to display text with linear gradients

• the SVG opacity primitive

• the SVG feGaussianBlur element to display text with a blur effect

• the SVG scale element to display scaled text

• the SVG textPath element to render text strings along a path
