A graphical user interface (GUI) engine receives an input event associated with a drag-and-drop action, determines a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) element that relates to the input event, and causes an anchor element to be attached to the SVG element, such as be wrapping the SVG element with the anchor element. Attaching an anchor element to an SVG element and defining the anchor element as “draggable” enables web browsers to perform drag-and-drop actions with SVG elements in a uniform and predictable manner. In one example use case, an SVG element may be wrapped with an anchor element when the SVG element is selected and dragged by a user, enabling an accurate representation of the SVG element to be displayed while the user is performing the drag-and-drop action.
A method of performing a drag-and-drop action with a scalar vector graphics (SVG) element, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed in a computing device, perform the steps of:
A computer system, comprising a system memory and a processor programmed to carry out the steps of:
