I have an SVG file that represents a thin shape. I would like to craft an animation such that the entire shape appears be being drawn out.
Example of what I am talking about with the 'S' logo from the Samsung Galaxy S brand: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/MGawzy
Animation code (because StackOverflow forces me to include it):
@keyframes test {
0% {
clip-path: inset(0px 0px 300px 0px);
}
80% {
clip-path: inset(0px 0px 0px 0px);
}
100% {
clip-path: inset(0px 0px 0px 0px);
}
}
svg {
animation: test;
animation-duration: 2s;
animation-timing-function: linear;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}
A simple SVG in the example above is easy to animate, I can just slowly un-crop the SVG from top-down. But if I have a very complex shape which cannot be animated in this manner (maybe the red line in NASA's logo: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/NASA_logo.svg), I need a better solution.
Just to clarify again, I do not want to animate the stroke. I want to be able to animate the fill, like it is begin drawn out.
Is there any general solution to this? If there is no general solution, how would I go about key-framing this on my own in a reasonable amount of time?
EDIT: To give some insight, I'm trying to animate the treble clef: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/G-clef.svg
