Anyone know where I can find a tool to use a bg colour, an svg image and create an inline CSS background using the svg image, tiled repeat horizontally and vertically?
I know there are several sites to create this type of code using their supplied images, but I want to use my svg images.
What do you mean be an inline CSS background? What is wrong with just using background-repeat on a warehoused SVG image that contains its own background?
Yes I could do that but I wanted to use some already “inlined” svgs that would be too much work to restore back to an svg image. The issue is that I have some svg images ;lifted from interesting BGs, in this format:
%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='28' height='49' viewBox='0 0 28 49'%3E%3Cg fill-rule='evenodd'%3E%3Cg id='hexagons' fill='%239C92AC' fill-opacity='0.4' fill-rule='nonzero'%3E%3Cpath d='M13.99 9.25l13 7.5v15l-13 7.5L1 31.75v-15l12.99-7.5zM3 17.9v12.7l10.99 6.34 11-6.35V17.9l-11-6.34L3 17.9zM0 15l12.98-7.5V0h-2v6.35L0 12.69v2.3zm0 18.5L12.98 41v8h-2v-6.85L0 35.81v-2.3zM15 0v7.5L27.99 15H28v-2.31h-.01L17 6.35V0h-2zm0 49v-8l12.99-7.5H28v2.31h-.01L17 42.15V49h-2z'/%3E%3C/g%3E%3C/g%3E%3C/svg%3E
What I was trying to do, was to create this type of code
background-color: #DFDBE5; background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='28' height='49' viewBox='0 0 28 49'%3E%3Cg fill-rule='evenodd'%3E%3Cg id='hexagons' fill='%239C92AC' fill-opacity='0.4' fill-rule='nonzero'%3E%3Cpath d='M13.99 9.25l13 7.5v15l-13 7.5L1 31.75v-15l12.99-7.5zM3 17.9v12.7l10.99 6.34 11-6.35V17.9l-11-6.34L3 17.9zM0 15l12.98-7.5V0h-2v6.35L0 12.69v2.3zm0 18.5L12.98 41v8h-2v-6.85L0 35.81v-2.3zM15 0v7.5L27.99 15H28v-2.31h-.01L17 6.35V0h-2zm0 49v-8l12.99-7.5H28v2.31h-.01L17 42.15V49h-2z'/%3E%3C/g%3E%3C/g%3E%3C/svg%3E");
I assumed there were tools to do this from from the normal <svg. --/<svg>format. Its not too much effort for simple svgs but too much for a complex svg
the complexity of the SVG should not make a difference - just paste it into the url(data:image part.
If the SVG is complex though you are going to be adding a lot of code into the HTML which is not that great from a page loading perspective.
