That being said, I’ve devised a way to to draw Raphaël elements based on a an item’s class which doesn’t require a fork of the library, which will be presented below. While that doesn’t sound like a big limitation, especially for one off graphics like a logo or, in my case, Snugug, it does present a problem if you want to do repeating UI elements in SVG, like the tips of the flags on my main scroll. The final consideration to take into account when using Raphaël is that each item you draw must be associated with a unique CSS ID.

Another issue is that the SVGs that are created cannot be inserted into a page’s CSS and cannot be tiled like normal images can, which may (and has) presented a problem doing a full migration from images to SVGs.

While Raphaël does a great job of supporting Internet Explorer 6 through Mobile Safari, older mobile browsers and any stock BlackBerry browser below OS6 or stock Android browser below Honeycomb mostly don’t support SVGs, so the end user sees nothing. First and foremost is that SVGs, while widely supported, aren’t universally supported. Here is the process I used, hopefully it can be useful to others.īefore going any further, it is worth noting some of the shortcomings of the Raphaël library and SVGs in general in their current incarnation and implementation in web design. While that sounded great as a goal, it turned out to be harder than I had imagined it would be, in part due to information about getting graphics from Adobe Illustrator (my vector drawing program of choice) into Raphael code is sparse, at best. So when I sat down to create my website previous website design, I decided that I wanted to use Raphaël to build out the UI elements in my site that would otherwise be done using normal images. Using some maths and some patience, Raphaël allows you to to draw Scalable Vector Graphics (SVGs) through code in any browser, from Internet Explorer 6 all the way up to Mobile Safari.
Over the summer, I came across an absolutely wonderful JavaScript library called Raphaël that blew me away.
