= Micro SVG Document Structure
:toc:

== Intro

SVG Micro represents a strip down SVG Full 1.1 subset.

Here is the main differences between SVG Full and SVG Micro.

- No XML DTD.
- No CSS.
- `use`, `marker` and nested `svg` will be resolved.
- Simplified path notation. Only absolute MoveTo, LineTo, CurveTo
  and ClosePath segments are allowed.
- No inheritable attributes.
- No `xlink:href`, except the `image` element.
- No recursive references.
- Only valid elements and attributes.
- No unused elements.
- No redundant groups.
- No units.
- No `objectBoundingBox` units.
- No `viewBox` and `preserveAspectRatio` attributes.
- No `style` attribute, except for `mix-blend-mode` and `isolation`
- Default attributes are implicit.

You can use
https://github.com/RazrFalcon/resvg/tree/master/crates/usvg[usvg]
to convert a random SVG into a SVG Micro almost losslessly.

== Elements

[[svg-element]]

=== The `svg` element

The `svg` element is the root element of the document.
It's defined only once and can't be nested, unlike by the SVG spec.

*Children:*

* <<defs-element,defs>>
* <<g-element,g>>
* <<path-element,path>>
* <<image-element,image>>

*Attributes:*

* `width` = <<positive-number-type,<positive-number> >> +
  The width of the rectangular region into which the referenced document is placed.
* `height` = <<positive-number-type,<positive-number> >> +
  The height of the rectangular region into which the referenced document is placed.

[[filter-element]]

[[g-element]]

=== The `g` element

The group element indicates that a new canvas should be created.
All group's children elements will be rendered on it and then merged into
the parent canvas.

Since it's pretty expensive, especially memory wise, _usvg_
will remove as many groups as possible.
And all the remaining one will indicate that a new canvas must be created.

A group can have no children when it has a `filter` attribute.

A group will have at least one of the attributes present.

*Children:*

* <<g-element,g>>
* <<path-element,path>>
* <<image-element,image>>

*Attributes:*

* `id` = <<string-type,<string> >>? +
  An optional, but never empty, element ID.

  Cannot be set to `none`.
* `mask` = <<func-iri-type,<FuncIRI> >>? +
  Cannot be set to `none`.
* `filter` = <<func-iri-type,<FuncIRI> >>+ +
  Cannot be set to `none`.
* `transform` = <<transform-type,<transform> >>?
* `style` = <<string-type,<string> >>? +
  This is the only place where the `style` attribute is used.
  For reasons unknown, `mix-blend-mode` and `isolation` properties must not be set as attributes,
  only as part of the `style` attribute. +
  The set attribute will look like `mix-blend-mode:screen;isolation:isolate`.
  Both properties are always set. +
  The attribute is not present only in case of `mix-blend-mode:norma;isolation:auto`

[[path-element]]

=== The `path` element

*Children:*

* `stroke-dashoffset` = <<number-type,<number> >>?
* `stroke-opacity` = <<opacity-type,<opacity> >>? +
  Default: 1
* `paint-order` = `normal | stroke`? +
  Default: `normal` +
  Only `stroke` will be written.
* `clip-rule` = `evenodd`? +
  Will be set only inside the <<clipPath-element,clipPath>>, instead of `fill-rule`.
* `clip-path` = <<func-iri-type,<FuncIRI> >>? +
  Available only inside the <<clipPath-element,clipPath>>.

== Filter primitives

=== Filter primitive attributes

The attributes below are the same for all filter primitives.

* `color-interpolation-filters` = `sRGB`? +
  Default: linearRGB
* `x` = <<number-type,<number> >>?
* `y` = <<number-type,<number> >>?
* `width` = <<number-type,<number> >>?
* `height` = <<number-type,<number> >>?
* `result` = <<string-type,<string> >>

The `x`, `y`, `width` and `height` attributes can be omitted.
SVG has a pretty complex
https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/filters.html#FilterPrimitiveSubRegion[rules of resolving them]
and I don't fully understand them yet.
Neither do others, because they are pretty poorly implemented.

* All segments are explicit.
* The first segment is guarantee to be MoveTo.
* Segments, commands and coordinates are separated only by space.

Grammar:

```
svg-path:
    moveto-drawto-command-groups
moveto-drawto-command-groups:
    moveto-drawto-command-group
    | moveto-drawto-command-group " " moveto-drawto-command-groups
moveto-drawto-command-group:
    moveto " " drawto-commands
drawto-commands:
    drawto-command
    | drawto-command " " drawto-commands
drawto-command:
    closepath
    | lineto
    | curveto
moveto:
    "M " coordinate-pair
lineto:
    "L " coordinate-pair
curveto:
    "C " coordinate-pair " " coordinate-pair " " coordinate-pair
closepath:
    "Z"
coordinate-pair:
    coordinate " " coordinate
coordinate:
    sign? digit-sequence "." digit-sequence
sign:
    "-"
digit-sequence:
    digit
    | digit digit-sequence
digit:
    "0" | "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5" | "6" | "7" | "8" | "9"
```

Basically, a path looks like this: `M 10.5 20 L 30 40`.
Commands and numbers are separated by a space.
Numbers with an exponent are not allowed.
Trimmed numbers like `-.5` are not allowed.
