The library I'm using to render SVG on Android doesn't support clipPath. The workaround is to "apply the clip path to your objects so their shapes are physically clipped". What is the algorithm for converting an SVG containing clipPath elements to an equivalent geometry with no instances of clipPath?

  • Depends on the shape. If you clip a rect with a rect you'll get a smaller rect for instance. The algorithm for generating the shape of an arbitrary shape clipped by another arbitrary shape would likely be too broad to answer here. – Robert Longson Jan 07 '17 at 16:51
  • I am the author of AndroidSVG. When I made that suggestion, I meant that you should use your vector editor to make this change. All editors should be able to do this. There should be no need to do it yourself. – Paul LeBeau Jan 08 '17 at 00:53
  • @PaulLeBeau Thanks; I have reposed the question at [graphic design](http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/82908/apply-svg-clippath-to-geometry). – plátano plomo Jan 09 '17 at 18:00
