I am trying to output the letter H using the SVG Line Animation and I am stuck at one part, I am not sure where to edit/modify the elements so it outputs the Letter H. I want to output this image by SVG Drawing On Scroll:
It seems a bit too complicated and my attempt at first was to modify the <path elements but I got a different unexpected output. I used the SVG Drawing On Scroll template from codepen, and I would like to modify to output the image above on scroll. I was wondering if I could get some assistance on this. Any suggestions?
Code of the template:
// Get a reference to the <path>
var path = document.querySelector('#star-path');
// Get length of path... ~577px in this case
var pathLength = path.getTotalLength();
// Make very long dashes (the length of the path itself)
path.style.strokeDasharray = pathLength + ' ' + pathLength;
// Offset the dashes so the it appears hidden entirely
path.style.strokeDashoffset = pathLength;
// Jake Archibald says so
// https://jakearchibald.com/2013/animated-line-drawing-svg/
path.getBoundingClientRect();
// When the page scrolls...
window.addEventListener("scroll", function(e) {
// What % down is it?
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2387136/cross-browser-method-to-determine-vertical-scroll-percentage-in-javascript/2387222#2387222
// Had to try three or four differnet methods here. Kind of a cross-browser nightmare.
var scrollPercentage = (document.documentElement.scrollTop + document.body.scrollTop) / (document.documentElement.scrollHeight - document.documentElement.clientHeight);
// Length to offset the dashes
var drawLength = pathLength * scrollPercentage;
// Draw in reverse
path.style.strokeDashoffset = pathLength - drawLength;
// When complete, remove the dash array, otherwise shape isn't quite sharp
// Accounts for fuzzy math
if (scrollPercentage >= 0.99) {
path.style.strokeDasharray = "none";
} else {
path.style.strokeDasharray = pathLength + ' ' + pathLength;
}
