createSvgBarRangePath function ​

Creates the d of the part of a bar between two ratios, across its whole thickness, in any group: the fill level of a bar graph (0 to the value) or a threshold zone. The ratios are clamped to [0, 1].

ts
import { createSvgBarRangePath } from 'utils';

Signature ​

ts
export function createSvgBarRangePath(
  target: SVGGraphicsElement,
  bar: SvgBar,
  fromRatio: number,
  toRatio: number,
): string

Parameters ​

NameDescription
targetThe element in whose coordinates the path is written, such as the <path> that receives it.
barThe element giving the area of the bar, and its direction.
fromRatioThe start of the range, from 0 (start of the bar) to 1 (end).
toRatioThe end of the range, in the same way.

Returns ​

The closed path data.

Errors ​

  • Throws TypeError: When an element is not rendered.

Example ​

ts
const bar = { element: track, direction: 'up' } as const;
level.setAttribute('d', createSvgBarRangePath(level, bar, 0, ratio(value, max))); // the fill level
redZone.setAttribute('d', createSvgBarRangePath(redZone, bar, 0.8, 1)); // the top 20 %

Tests ​

Line coverage: 100 %.

  • ✅ draws a range of a up bar
  • ✅ draws a range of a down bar
  • ✅ draws a range of a right bar
  • ✅ draws a range of a left bar
  • ✅ throws a TypeError for a path that is not rendered

Source ​

src/svg-shape/create-svg-bar-range-path.ts (on GitHub)

Uses ​

  • clamp: Restricts a number to an interval.
  • SvgBar: A bar gauge laid on the box of an element, for createSvgBarRangePath and createSvgBarTicksPath.
