Not able to morph SVG?

[iammarkmulvey 4 Likes (Newbie)]

For the life of me can't figure out how to make my SVG morph.  What am I missing?  Oh and why is the SVG getting cut off?

Hi @iammarkmulvey

 

Welcome to the forum and thanks for joining Club GreenSock.

 

You're targeting a group for your morph, but the plugin works path to path. To fix this, move your IDs from the groups to the paths within those groups like this:

    <path id="Finger1" class="st0" d="M-214 570.4c0-4.7-2.9-6.7-6-6.7 -3.5 0-6.3 2.4-6.3 5.6v5.9 -13c0-3.1-1.4-7.3-5.8-7.3 -4.2 0-6 2.3-6 6l-0.1 10.6 0.1-15.9c0-3.1-4-5.7-7.1-5.7s-6.1 2.7-6.1 5.8v11.6 -41.9c0-3.1-2.9-5.7-6-5.7s-6 2.5-6 5.7v55.5l-4.8-13.9c-0.7-2.8-4.4-4.9-7.2-4.2 -4 1-5.1 4.4-4.6 7.5 0 0 4.8 17 4.9 17.7 3.2 17.2 12.9 31 30 31s31.2-13.9 31.2-31L-214 570.4z"/>

    <path id="Finger2" class="st0" d="M-214 570.4c0-4.7-2.9-6.7-6-6.7 -3.5 0-6.3 2.4-6.3 5.6v5.9 -13c0-3.1-1.4-7.3-5.8-7.3 -4.2 0-6 2.3-6 6l-0.1 10.6 0.1-46.1c0-3.1-4-5.7-7.1-5.7s-6.1 2.7-6.1 5.8v41.8 -8.9c0-3.1-2.9-5.7-6-5.7s-6 2.5-6 5.7v22.5l-4.8-13.9c-0.7-2.8-4.4-4.9-7.2-4.2 -4 1-5.1 4.4-4.6 7.5 0 0 4.8 17 4.9 17.7 3.2 17.2 12.9 31 30 31s31.2-13.9 31.2-31L-214 570.4z"/>

 

You  actually don't need the paths to be in groups so you can delete the group wrappers if you like. Once you move those IDs, switch your morph tween to this:

TweenMax.to("#Finger1", 1, {morphSVG: "#Finger2", ease:Power1.easeInOut});

That should get you working correctly.

 

Happy tweening.

Craig you rock!  Thank you.

one more question though. When I add. The SVG gets cut off?

 

TweenMax.to("#Finger1", 1, {x: 20, ease: Power1.easeOut});

Your path is moving outside of the SVG viewBox. To fix that you could animate the x position of the entire SVG or you can set the svg overflow to visible in your CSS.

 

Happy morphing.

Perfect and understood. Overflow in CSS. Thanks again Craig.
