Question 1

jQuery DrawSVG vs GSAP for SVG animation?

Accepted Answer

jQuery DrawSVG is lighter and simpler, ideal for basic drawing animations in jQuery projects, while GSAP offers more powerful features like timeline controls and broader SVG support but with a larger footprint. Choose based on project complexity and dependency preferences.

Question 2

How to trigger jQuery DrawSVG animation on scroll?

Accepted Answer

Use scroll event listeners to call the animate method, as shown in the demos. Implement custom JavaScript to detect scroll position, such as using Intersection Observer or jQuery scroll events, and trigger the animation accordingly for dynamic effects.

Question 3

Does jQuery DrawSVG work with inline SVGs in HTML?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it works with inline SVGs as long as they are selected with jQuery. The plugin animates paths inside any SVG element, whether inline or external, making it flexible for various embedding methods.

Question 4

Can I animate multiple SVGs with jQuery DrawSVG?

Accepted Answer

Yes, initialize the plugin on each SVG element separately and store them in variables, then animate each independently. This allows for parallel or sequential animations across different graphics on a page.

Question 5

What browsers does jQuery DrawSVG support?

Accepted Answer

Browser support depends on jQuery's compatibility, typically covering modern browsers and older versions with polyfills. Since it uses standard SVG and jQuery features, it works in environments where jQuery 1.7+ is supported.

Question 6

How to reverse animation with jQuery DrawSVG?

Accepted Answer

Set the reverse option to true during initialization or use callback functions to trigger reverse animations programmatically. The options table shows how to configure this for different animation directions.
