[question] Ability to use SVG.js from inside an SVG document about svg.js HOT 7 CLOSED

This hack will let the library create a SVG element inside the initial SVG doc. Ideally the document root should become the SVG object used by the lib.

the "dirty" fix:
line 1606

  SVG.Doc.prototype.stage = function() {
    var check
      , element = this
      , xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"  //changed 
      , wrapper = document.createElementNS(xmlns,'g') //changed

I'm not quite sure what you want to achieve. If it is an svg document inside the parent svg document you can use the nested() method:

var draw = SVG('canvas')
var svg = draw.nested()

Yes.. this is because github does not let me post all the code correctly :|

I will try to explain: I have a file1.svg that points to svg.js lib (there is no HTML here)

<script src="js/svg.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

of course the SVG DOM does not work the same as HTML DOM and you don't need to create the root element. In SVG it already exists and I would like to use the extant.

Ok, I can see now what you are getting at.

Can you send me an example of your setup to my email address (in my profile). Then I can fiddle with it.

v.0.12 addresses this.
