Wednesday
Midterm exam
- Subject area: SVG
- Type of exam: SVG file that you will have to complete according to instructions
- Open book. You may use both print texts and the Internet
Items that may be tested
- SVG embedding in HTML
- Graphic primitives (only the ones shown in my examples): rect, circle, ellipse, line, polyline, and polygon)
- Attributes: position and size attributes, opacity, fill and stroke
- Grouping and reusing: Defining an "id", g and use
- Simple animation: animate
- Attributes for animate: to, from, values, dur, begin, end, fill, attributeName, xlink:href, repeatCount
Not tested
- The "path" language. However, I may ask you to copy/paste a path from the online SVG-edit tool or change its style (e.g. the color).
Preparation: (Textbook chapters, you can ignore elements that we have not seen in class)
- http://commons.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php/SVG_Essentials/Basic_Shapes
- http://commons.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php/SVG_Essentials/Document_Structure
- http://commons.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php/SVG_Essentials/Animating_and_Scripting_SVG (Only the animate tag, in particular: ignore the scripting)
Wiki pages:
- Using SVG with HTML5 tutorial (mandatory reading, not covered in the text book)
- Static SVG tutorial (read SVG_Essentials/Basic_Shapes and Document_Structure if something is not clear)
- SVG/SMIL animation tutorial (only sections that concern the animate element, read VG_Essentials/Animating_and_Scripting_SVG if something is not clear)
