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.

SVG Fundamentals

This example demonstrates how SVG masks can create a circular window onto layered geometric patterns. Using the native SVG DOM API, the code constructs fifty horizontal and fifty vertical rectangles, each with vibrant default colors, and applies two different masks to control their visibility. The first mask, built from a black rectangle and white circle, reveals only the horizontal bars inside the circle, while the second mask, with inverted colors, shows the vertical bars outside the circle’s edge. The result is a clean, mask-driven interplay of striped shapes across the full browser viewport.

This example demonstrates how SVG masks can create two distinct circular cutout effects on a grid of overlapping rectangles. One mask, defined with a black background and white circle, reveals only the vertical stripes; the other, with a white background and black circle, controls visibility of horizontal stripes. The code builds the full-screen SVG and all elements programmatically using `document.createElementNS` and `setAttribute` in vanilla JavaScript, without any external libraries. The result is a visual interplay of lines that form a transparent circular window at the center of the viewport.

SVG Fundamentals

This example demonstrates the fundamentals of SVG masks and animation by creating a dynamic geometric composition. The code generates 50 horizontal black rectangles with a circular mask, layered over 50 vertical color-scaled rectangles with a second mask, producing an intersecting grid pattern. A JavaScript `animate` element continuously adjusts the height of the colored rectangles from half the screen height to full height over a 2-second cycle. The visualization uses raw SVG element creation via `document.createElementNS` and a hardcoded 10-color palette, with masks defined as circle and rect shapes.

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.

SVG Fundamentals

This example demonstrates SVG fundamentals by layering horizontal and vertical striped rectangles that intersect to create a grid, with two masks applied to each set of stripes. D3’s `select`, `range`, `symbol`, and `symbols` APIs generate the stripes and position symbol paths within the masks. The `mask1` and `mask2` masks, filled with black and white respectively, reveal or hide portions of the grid based on the symbol shapes, producing a dynamic interplay of light and dark geometric patterns across the full canvas.

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.
