Trajectory for svg animation

Question

When we use svg animation we set from and to values. Can we add a moving trajectory? For it to be not lineral but, for example circle.

Answer 1

Thank you! It is a nice idea. But I'd like to know if there is a chance to make something like analog watch using svg animation or to make a ball move by a Bezier curve. But it is also cool.

Answer 2

When I asked, I didn't know. And tried to make an analog watch. So I made there false animation. And then I found an answer.

Answer 3

Can be any shape.
To give you an idea:

For a circle, start with:

Then animate as you see fit.
I hope this helps! 🙂

Answer 4

Yes, of course.
SVG Path is very flexible. If you scroll down a little ways (or find in page "Bezier") you can get an idea of some of your options here:

Answer 5

To make such kind of animation we should use animateMotion tag. The trajectory should be set in path tag. I performad this task in the code below.

Sounds like you knew the answer to your own question. If so, why ask?
