Getting the Screen Pixel coordinates of a Rect element

Question

I am trying to get the screen pixel coordinates of a rectangle in SVG via java script. When the rectangle has been clicked, I can figure out its width, height, x and y posit

Answer 1

You can also check for the existence of the elm.getScreenBBox() method, which does what it sounds like. It's defined in SVG Tiny 1.2.

See the files here, which include a fallback implementation of getScreenBBox that should work in all browsers.
