SVG TEXT OVERFLOW ELLIPSIS SERIES

You might think the solution is to use the SVG rotate attribute and set them back. Let’s get back to the example again and note that while the text was rendered from top to bottom, the characters are also rotated 90 degrees. Regardless of my issues you should be able to set the writing-mode so it renders right-to-left using either rl or rl-tb as the writing-mode value. There’s a different set of values if you want to use the CSS writing-mode property, though the values don’t include a right-to-left direction. The values I showed for writing-mode have been deprecated for everything other than SVG, though they should still work with SVG. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get a left-to-right writing-mode working at all. I set the writing-mode as tb or top to bottom and you can see the text flows vertically, though the characters are now rendered on their sides. I created an SVG element, set the viewport size, gave it an outline, bumped up the font-size, and set the overflow to visible in case any text renders outside of the viewport. I’ll stick to the two character values and save the extra bit of typing.Īs always let’s start with an example and build on it. The values above show there are two ways to set the specific value you want depending on which direction you want the text to flow.

tb-rl | tb - either sets direction as top to bottom.

rl-tb | rl - either sets direction as right to left.

lr-tb | lr - either sets direction as left to right (default).

In SVG, writing-mode is an attribute with the following values. It works like the css writing-mode property which does the same thing. You can set the text to display either right-to-left or top-to-bottom instead.

You can use the writing-mode property to change the inline direction from the default, which is left-to-right. SVG includes support for international writing directions and we can change the default direction. However, before we get to those adjustments let’s talk about how we might display SVG text for international fonts. When you position SVG text, the default is to display the left edge of the EM box and the baseline of the character at the position you specify.

I also mentioned at some point in the series we’d see how we could alter some of this information I said that certain alignment details for rendering a font’s glyphs were contained inside those tables. At the start of this series on SVG text I mentioned font tables.
