Nested SVG question
Hello,
i would like to create a label with a barcode in it. I have defined a
template for the label with placeholders. Another method of my system
creates a barcode, also as svg string.
It looks like something like that:
<svg>
<text>$placeholder$</text>
</svg>
after the combining of the two svg string, it looks like:
<svg>
<text><svg>Barcode</svg></text>
</svg>
The problem is, that i cant see the barcode in the visualized file. I
used Inkscape to visualize it and also Batik PDF transformation.
If i cut the barcode svg string out of the combined string, i can see
the barcode, but it doenst work together.
I attached the combinded file, please seach for the second <svg in the
file, there is where the barcode starts.
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

You can fairly easily 'move' the 'x' & 'y' from the text element
to the transform attribute of a 'g':
<text x="<xxx>" y="<yyy>" [...]>....</text>
Becomes
<g transform="translate(<xxx>, <yyy>)">....</g>

It's also possible that if you just 'group' two elements (at the
origin)
in InkScape and then drag the group around it will create the transform
attribute for you.

Thank you.
Is there any possibility to position the <g> element graphically? The
advantage of the "text approach" was, that i could draw the dimensions
with InkScape, this is a lot more comfortable than the manual way with
try and error.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion.
As you can see, i'am very new to SVG. I chosed the text node to position
the embedded svg in a simple way. Which element would you suggest for
the wrapping?
My idea was to include the placeholder for the barcode within a wrapping
element, which i can position during the design process of the label
template, so i dont have to worry about the position of the generated
barcode. (because its position is determined trough the wrapping element)

You should not embed your graphical content in a text node. If you
remove the text/tspan stuff, it should work fine.
