## Description

**SVG Spritemap** lets you add SVGs with the Media Uploader, as well as create and
manage an SVG spritemap from your Media Library.

### Contributing

The Git repository for the project may be accessed here: [https://github.com/jonathantneal/wp-svg-spritemap/](https://github.com/jonathantneal/wp-svg-spritemap/)

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the WordPress plugin.
 2. Add SVG images through the Media Uploader.
 3. Select the SVGs for the spritemap in **Settings** > **Media** > **SVG Spritemap**.

## FAQ

  How do I use the SVG Spritemap?

After selecting and updating the SVGs for your spritemap, a `defs.svg` SVG spritemap
is automatically generated.

A text field displays the URL to the SVG spritemap. Individuals sprites may be referenced
by appending `#:` and the name of the sprite to the URL.

    ```
    <svg><use xlink:href="http://dev.wordpress/wp-content/plugins/svg-spritemap/defs.svg#:accounts"></svg>
    ```

  How accurate is the estimated filesize?

The live, estimated filesize of the spritemap represents the combined filesize of
all the individual SVGs, but it does not factor in additional gzip compression. 
More than likely, the estimation will be conservative and the filesize will actually
be smaller than the estimation.

  Why do I not see SVGs in Internet Explorer?

Internet Explorer requires special assistance to display external SVGs. To resolve
this issue, I have developed [SVG4Everybody](https://github.com/jonathantneal/svg4everybody).
