SVG_ADD_NAMESPACE


SVG_ADD_NAMESPACE ( svgObject ; prefix {; URI} )

Parameter	Type	Description
svgObject	SVG_Ref	SVG object reference
prefix	Text	Prefix of namespace
URI	Text	URI of namespace

Description

The SVG_ADD_NAMESPACE method adds an XML namespace attribute to the root of the DOM Tree for the SVG object designated by the svgObject parameter. You can use this method, more specifically, to add a namespace to an SVG code snippet.

In prefix, pass a string containing the prefix of the namespace attribute. You can use one of the following constants:

"svgNS" for a standard SVG namespace (http://www.w3.org/2000/svg)
"xlinkNS" for a standard XLink namespace (http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink)

In this case, the URI parameter is unnecessary.

You can also pass the prefix of a custom namespace in the prefix parameter and its URI in the corresponding parameter. In this case, the URI parameter is mandatory and if it is omitted, an error is generated.

Example

The following code:

SVG_ADD_NAMESPACE($svgRef;"svgNS")

... adds the following code to the root of the SVG object:

<xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
