What is @antv/path-util?
@antv/path-util is a utility library for manipulating and analyzing SVG paths. It provides functions for parsing, transforming, and generating SVG path data, which is useful for various graphical and data visualization tasks.
What are @antv/path-util's main functionalities?
Parsing SVG Path Data
This feature allows you to parse an SVG path string into an array of path commands, making it easier to manipulate and analyze the path data.
const { parsePathString } = require('@antv/path-util');
const pathString = 'M10 10 H 90 V 90 H 10 Z';
const parsedPath = parsePathString(pathString);
console.log(parsedPath);
Transforming Path Data
This feature allows you to apply transformations like scaling, rotating, and translating to an SVG path string.
const { transformPath } = require('@antv/path-util');
const pathString = 'M10 10 H 90 V 90 H 10 Z';
const transform = 'scale(2)';
const transformedPath = transformPath(pathString, transform);
console.log(transformedPath);
Generating SVG Path Data
This feature allows you to convert an array of path commands back into an SVG path string, which can be used in SVG elements.
const { pathToString } = require('@antv/path-util');
const pathArray = [['M', 10, 10], ['H', 90], ['V', 90], ['H', 10], ['Z']];
const pathString = pathToString(pathArray);
console.log(pathString);
Other packages similar to @antv/path-util
svg-path-parser
svg-path-parser is a library for parsing and transforming SVG path data. It provides similar functionality to @antv/path-util, including parsing path strings into command arrays and applying transformations. However, it may not have as extensive a set of utilities as @antv/path-util.
svg-pathdata
svg-pathdata is another library for working with SVG path data. It offers parsing, transforming, and generating path data, similar to @antv/path-util. It also includes additional features like path normalization and simplification, which can be useful for more advanced path manipulations.
path-data-polyfill
path-data-polyfill is a polyfill for the SVGPathElement API, providing methods for parsing, transforming, and generating SVG path data. It aims to bring modern SVG path manipulation capabilities to older browsers, making it a good choice for projects that need to support a wide range of environments.
