How to use svg.js's transform with matrix parameter in typescript?












0















When I use svg.js lib with javascript, I can transform a given element via a SVG.Matrix like so:



import * as SVG from 'svg.js';

let draw = SVG('drawing').size(200, 200);
let rect = draw.rect(100, 100).attr({ fill: '#f06' });
rect.translate(100,100);
let matrix = new SVG.Matrix(rect);
let rect2 = draw.rect(100, 100).attr({ fill: '#f60' });
rect2.transform(matrix);


In the example the 2nd rect gets transformed like the first rect via SVG.Matrix:






<svg id="SvgjsSvg1001" width="200" height="200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:svgjs="http://svgjs.com/svgjs"><defs id="SvgjsDefs1002"></defs><rect id="SvgjsRect1008" width="100" height="100" fill="#ff0066" transform="matrix(1,0,0,1,100,100)"></rect><rect id="SvgjsRect1009" width="100" height="100" fill="#ff6600" transform="matrix(1,0,0,1,100,100)"></rect></svg>





However the same code in typescript claims:



[ts]
Argument of type 'Matrix' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Transform'.
Types of property 'skewX' are incompatible.
Type '(x: number, cx?: number, cy?: number) => Matrix' is not assignable to type 'number'.


How can I transform an element via a SVG.Matrix in typescript?
Why does svgjs.Element.transform behave different when used with ts?

          svg.js.d.ts tells that Element.transform has this signature:



          interface Element {
          transform(t: Transform, relative?: boolean): Element;

          So, this should work:

          rect2.transform(transform);


          Essentially, both Transform and Matrix objects have a/b/c/d/e/f properties, so in Javascript one can be used in place of the other, but in Typescript, they have no prototypical relation and the compiler complains.



          It's actually a bug in the typings. Looking at the source code, the transformation is implemented by calling new Matrix(t), so the signature to .transform() should read:



          transform(t: MatrixAlias, relative?: boolean): Element;

          Thank you for answering. It does work for the example I gave, but my real usecase would be to apply multiplied matrices to elements. SVG.Transform has a matrix-method – but I'm still left with the problem of applying the matrix… SVG.Transform does not offer a multiply-method as far as I can tell.
