Hello,

I would like to share this SVG clock I recently created with you. It's modeled
after a watch I once owned, but unfortunately lost:

http://sonic.net/~drtebi/


Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
DrTebi

Both your clock and sonic.net are very cool!

Thank you. I agree, Sonic is a very solid ISP.

Make sure you "hold down" (click) the button of the clock as well, it
will switch the display to seconds :)

Yeah, I found that, but I started using it just after midnight so it took
a little while for my befuddled brain to figure out how to tell the hour :)

Can I make a Widget out of it? (Or have you done that already?)

I don't mind if you make a widget out of it, it would be nice if you
give me some credit somewhere though...

What kind of widget are you talking about, and what do you use to
program it? Just curious.

Naturally.

An Opera / W3C widget (in the sense of a packaged application, not a UI
control. A minor curse on whoever originally muddied those semantic
waters...).

So I would use a text editor - the basics are extremely simple...

<widget>
<widgetname>DrTebi's Clock</widgetname>
<width>XXX</width>
<height>YYY</height>
</widget>

(add in author info, version number, URI, and it's done. If I get excited
I'll make a way to adjust the time...)

I just need to find some spare time to do the 20 minutes work required...

cheers

Sounds good!

Let me know when you get to it, I certainly want to check it out. I
haven't used Opera's widgets much, but they seem to be very easy to
create.

Hey DrTebi,

I have been meaning to add my two cents worth. I like your clock!

It reminds me of a thought I had had a year or so ago when the topics of
clocks came up here:

there was a sort of golden age of timepieces that seems to have emerged in
Europe in the period leading up to and including the industrial revolution.
Gears and gadgets and sounds and rumbling robotic animations, all
celebrating both our technology and our curious human relationship with
time! Time: one of the intrinsically most observable but least measurable
entities in physics. This of course got me thinking about the digital age
and our persistent fascination with the odd tension between the digital and
the analogue (waves and particles, discrete and continuous, left brain/right
brain... that sort of stuff). Well here we are in the midst of a new
Renaissance (the first one was ushered in with plagues, and wars and all
manner of trouble), and it seems a good time to invent new kinds of
timepieces!

And of course SVG lends itself to the prototyping of all sorts of timepieces
that have never yet been built.

How about we have a Friendly Little Intermittent Clockfest!? A FLIC, or
simply a Clockfest. Let's invite people to submit all manner of strange,
funny, artful and X* clocks all out of SVG (and CSS and SMIL and JavaScript
of course). Maybe we could post a little collection of links to all of them
on PlanetSVG?

More? I am sure they are out there!
David

* let X stand for any interesting adjective.

Alright, Dailey... You're in trouble now.

As if I didn't have enough projects that I really need to get finished,
you had to toss this challenge in the air.

I should be posting a handful of ideas by the weekend.

well... here is my weird SVG+javascript clock:
http://bighead.poli.usp.br/~juca/code/svg/javascript/weirdclock.svg

PS: yeah, it runs in super-speed mode so that you can quickly appreciate the
effect.
PS2: yeah... yeah... it only shows you the hours, not the minutes.
PS3: it actually is a bunch of standard analog clocks all synchronized in
order to achieve the crazy effect.

The clocks by DrTebi and Felipe Sanches are both impressive.

I tend to be more on the functional side, than the artistic side where
SVG is concerned. However, I have a few examples posted on
http://anomaly.org/wade/projects/svgClocks/ that show a progression of
ideas that I was working on.

These are great clock examples, keep them coming!

This reminds me that I still haven't responded to the idea to gather
all SVG clocks on a web site, which was suggested by David.

If the interest is there, I would be willing to offer the hosting
space. I do not have very much time on my hands, so if someone else
could come up with a layout for these pages (I suppose this would not
have to be anything too complicated or fance), that would help.
This could be a fun little project.

Let me know if anybody is interested in pursuing this idea.

Another clock.... http://www.schemax.com/svg/clock.htm

This is my first attempt at animation using SVG. I learnt a few things along
the way:

- I used SMIL (declarative) animation instead of script and discovered in
retrospect that viewer support is less widely available (try Opera or IE/ASV3).

- I originally coded the clock face numerals with text along a path and learnt
that it is actually quite difficult to draw a path the shape of a circle - I had
to use an arc that didn't quite complete the circle. Ultimately I used a series
of transforms rotating around the centre of the clock face.

- The pendulum required trick of setting two start times.

- Use element is nested up to three times teeth -> cog -> cogs

Use two semi-circles to make a full circle.

<path d="M-10 0 a 10 10 0 0 1 20 0 a 10 10 0 1 1 -20 0 z"/>

Hi Dr Tebi,
Very nice work!! Is there a way to distinguish between AM and PM, or did I
missed it?
Cheers, Samy

Hi,

no, there is no way to distinguish between AM and PM. As far as I
remember, the original watch didn't have that feature either.

I could think of a few ways to do that though, changing the background
color, or a light ring around the clock for AM, a dark one for PM...
or adjust the color according to the actual daylight in the user's
timezone... many options I guess :)

Another very simple option: Do it in analogy to moon phases, like a.m. is
"waxing clock-face" and p.m. "waning clock-face".
