悬停时，将SVG从颜色更改为渐变，并进行过渡

Question

I have an SVG image which I would like to change from a block colour to a gradient. I have got this working, however I would like to have a transition or animation. Is this possible - if so how would it be achieved?

</svg>

CSS:

svg {
   fill: blue;
    transition: all 0.3s ease;
    display: inline-block;    
            -webkit-transition: fill .4s ease;
        -moz-transition: fill .4s ease;
        -o-transition: fill .4s ease;
        transition: fill .4s ease;  
}


svg:hover {
    fill: url(#gradient);
 }

Any pointers would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

You can avoid using two rects by transitioning the stop-color s instead:

 svg { display: inline-block; } stop { -webkit-transition: .4s ease; transition: .4s ease; } /* Use the colors to transition to */ svg:hover stop:first-child { stop-color: #1EBEE0; } svg:hover stop:last-child { stop-color: #952491; }

Here's a demo of the technique using a simplified shape (no mask required).

Answer 2

Put the two fill styles on overlapping <rect> objects, and use the clock icon as a mask object applied to both <rect> objects. You can then animate the apparent fill style by animating the opacity of the uppermost <rect> . Remember to apply a white fill to the mask object (white=opaque, black=transparent).

If the following snippet doesn't work, try this jsfiddle link .

 #clock-gradient { opacity: 0.0; display: inline-block; -webkit-transition: opacity .4s ease; -moz-transition: opacity .4s ease; -o-transition: opacity .4s ease; transition: opacity .4s ease; } #clock-gradient:hover { opacity: 1.0; }
