This example demonstrates inverse masking with SVG, where intersecting horizontal and vertical striped rectangles reveal a circular cutout at the center. Two masks are defined: one with a white circle on a transparent background, and another with a black circle over a white rectangle. The code builds 100 horizontal and 100 vertical rectangle strips, applying each mask to create a cross-hatch effect where the circle appears transparent. It uses plain JavaScript to manipulate SVG elements directly, with the `<mask>` element and `url(#...)` references controlling visibility.

SVG Fundamentals

This example demonstrates the visual impact of SVG masks, using them to selectively reveal or hide overlapping shapes. It creates a full-screen canvas filled with horizontal and vertical stripes by generating one hundred thin rectangles for each direction. A circular mask isolates a central area where the stripes remain visible, while a second, inverted mask produces a contrasting ring effect by revealing the vertical stripes outside the circle. The code builds the SVG document dynamically through the Document Object Model, creating elements like rectangles and masks using `createElementNS` and `setAttribute` within JavaScript.

create mask

This example uses an SVG mask to create a circular window over a series of alternating horizontal rectangles. The mask, defined with an SVG `<mask>` element containing a white circle, is applied to each of the 100 rectangles via the `mask` attribute. The visualization demonstrates how SVG masks work in a bare-bones HTML page using vanilla JavaScript, dynamically creating the SVG elements and filling the viewport.

SVG Fundamentals

This example demonstrates SVG masking with intersecting grid lines. Horizontal and vertical rectangles form a crosshatch pattern across a 960×500 canvas. Two circular masks reveal different portions: the first shows the grid inside a centered circle, while the second displays the grid outside it, creating complementary visual regions. The code uses D3 v6 selection methods like `select`, `append`, `selectAll`, and `join` to generate 100 rects in each direction. React handles page setup, while SVG `mask` elements with black and white fill shapes define the visibility areas.

beginner svg

This example demonstrates a simple masking effect in SVG, where a set of horizontal stripes is revealed only through a circular window at the center of the viewport. The visualization uses plain SVG elements created dynamically via the `document.createElementNS` method. A white rectangle serves as the mask base, while a black circle defines the transparent region, and the stripes are drawn as individual `rect` elements with the mask applied. The code runs without any external libraries, relying purely on native browser APIs and JavaScript.

Fork of Fork of SVG Fundamentals Horizontal Vertical

This example demonstrates how SVG mask elements create intersecting visual patterns from horizontal and vertical stripes. The code uses raw SVG APIs—`document.createElementNS`—to build a full-window canvas with 100 horizontal rectangles masked by a white circle and 100 vertical rectangles masked by a complementary mask. Each mask combines a solid fill with a central circle, revealing or hiding stripes to form a cross-shaped overlap at the center. The result layers two sets of lines that visually blend through the transparent mask regions.

Fork of SVG Fundamentals

This example demonstrates SVG masking by layering a grid of horizontal and vertical rectangles over a circular cutout. The rectangles are created dynamically using the DOM API `document.createElementNS` with the SVG namespace. Two complementary masks, `circle-mask` and `circle-mask-2`, alternate between white and black fills to control visibility, producing a striped pattern inside the circle while keeping the surrounding area solid. The code relies on raw SVG manipulation rather than a visualization library, with only the `d3-selection` API imported but not actively used.

mask experiments

This example demonstrates the interplay of two complementary SVG masks. It first shows a set of horizontal stripes visible only within a circular window, then displays vertical stripes that are hidden inside the circle while remaining visible outside it. The piece creates a stark geometric contrast between the two masked regions. The visualization is generated entirely with the SVG `mask` element and basic `rect` and `circle` primitives, using white and black fills to define luminosity. The code dynamically constructs one hundred stripes for each orientation, with the masks applied via URL references to `#circle-mask` and `#circle-mask-2`.

Untitled

This example renders horizontal and vertical alternating stripes masked by two circles in the center of an SVG canvas. The code uses raw SVG manipulation via `document.createElementNS` to construct masks, rectangles, and elements, with `d3` available as a dependency but not actively used. The first mask reveals horizontal stripes, while the second mask inverts the circle to show vertical stripes outside it, creating a crosshatched visual pattern that fills the viewport. The visualization demonstrates layered SVG masking techniques without data input.
