Cut one SVG <path> from another

Question

I have several SVG paths that look like this:

M204.21121687607624,196.94037184487675L329.92080751248244,195.46306542867487A130,130,0,0,0,244.46261863233696,77.83995929783192Z
M198.39145828733604,195.04941765207442L235.83285625620988,75.03597952801854A130,130,0,0,0,97.55860203112616,119.9640082076644Z

Now I want to add another path, but instead of adding it to the form, cut it from the previous paths. How can i do this?

I could not find information about this in the SVG docs - thanks for your help!

Answer 1

You can do this in one way:

M 0,0 l 0,10 10,0 0,-10 -10,0 z m 2,2 l 6,0 0,6 -6,0 0,-6 z

This will draw a 10x10 square with a 6x6 hole cut from the middle

Answer 3

, ( ), . fill-rule:evenodd ( ), .

, 10x10, 6x6:

<svg xmlns="http://wwww3org/2000/svg" height="200" viewBox="0,0,10,10">
  <path d="M 0,0 h 10 v 10 h -10 z
           M 2,2 v  6 h  6 v  -6 z" /> 
</svg>

Answer 4

Vector graphics editors usually provide this for you. In Inkscape, select two paths, and then what operation you want to perform in the Path menu. Illustrator has the same functionality.

Answer 5

What you are looking for is a collection of operations called logical operations. See this question for more details: Logical operations on the SVG path
