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?)

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.

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of

life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be

enthusiastic about. - Charles Kingsley

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.

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

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"/>

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.

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 :)

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of

life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be

enthusiastic about. - Charles Kingsley

Another very simple option:  Do it in analogy to moon phases, like a.m. is

"waxing clock-face" and p.m. "waning clock-face".
