translating part of a svg file Mar 7th, 2010, 7:04am   suppose there is a box in a svg image can view the full image using this code Code: PShape fullimage=loadShape("img1.svg"); shape(fullimage) consider this code Code: PShape tt=fullmap.getChild("box"); tt.disableStyle(); fill(0, 51, 102); shape(tt); this wil make that "box" appear exactly at the same possition at it was. although the rest of the image is invisible what if i want to change to possition of that box... is there any method to do it ? thanks

Or use translate() before drawing it. But I suppose the question is to know the position of the shape relative to the origin of the whole SVG image. I admit I don't know, perhaps you are supposed to know this info if you made the shape...
