Examples

if (FALSE) {
# Create an SVG document
library(minisvg)
doc   <- minisvg::svg_doc()

# Create the pattern and add to the SVG definitions
my_pattern <- create_pattern_hex(id = 'mypattern')
doc$defs(my_pattern)

# Create a rectangle with the animation
rect  <- stag$rect(
  x      = "10%",
  y      = "10%",
  width  = "80%",
  height = "80%",
  stroke = 'black',
  fill   = my_pattern
)

# Add this rectangle to the document, show the SVG text, then render it
doc$append(rect)
doc
doc$show()
