(If you are interested in programming animation features into Inkscape, please start by joining the development team.) Meanwhile, there are several ways to animate images made with Inkscape (whether as SVG or exported to PNG), which are explored on this page.

Save my name, email, and site URL in my browser for next time I post a comment. Your email address will not be published. The part about font styles is absolutely useless since there are no text elements in this SVG.

It can also be noted that the “optimized SVG file” actually contained redundant parts: For now I just stick to adding this inline SVG in the raw HTML editor. The WordPress editor is pretty good at eating inline SVGs and it also blocks SVG uploading for security reasons. There are plethora of options here, but they are all quite straightforward. Make sure to save the modified version as an “optimized SVG”. There are a few different “SVG” formats in Inkscape. I do not know what this means, but apparently toggling the “T” column, which presumably means “Text”, fixes this issue. Sometimes a group refuses to be ungrouped, because it is actually a “Text group”. To do so, go to Object > Objects, and select any group that does not make sense and select Ungroup in the context menu. They could just be absorbed to the object data. But sometimes there are redundant groups that represent concepts like additional affine transformations. Having a hierarchy in the SVG actually makes sense. Select all objects, and select Path > Object to Path. Anyway, let me document the manual process first, and worry about automation later. Sadly, Inkscape does not seem to be a good tool for automated processing.

I want to create a unique progress spinner component.

To understand d3.js, one has to understand SVG first.

In the following few days, I will (hopefully) explore how to make interactive and animated SVG parts.
