How can I limit or clip text in SVG?

Question

I have done a table in SVG, and I want to fill it with data dynamically. That means that I don\'t know how much space the text takes, and I want to clip or hide the overlapping

Answer 1

If for some reason you don't want to use clipping, you can also use a nested SVG tag:

This way, your text will be cut off when it's outside the nested SVG viewport. Note that the x and y of the text tag refer to the coordinate system of the nested SVG, and correspond to 10 in the coordinate system of the outer SVG.
