html - how to keep text orientation unchanged during rotation in SVG

Question

I am using <g transform = "rotate(45, 10, 30)"> in svg to roate som circles and texts around a point at the same time, however, I want to keep orientation of each individual font the same (e.g., always facing one direction while the text is moved/rotated).

For example,how could I change the labels such as "A" in the right-side image to correct orientation after rotation?

How should I do that?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Pure SVG

1. Rotate the entire group of elements: triangle, spiral and colored circles with the letters

<g id = "common"`>
 ....
</g> 
<animateTransform xlink:href="#common"
  attributeName="transform"
  type="rotate"
  begin="svg1.click"
  restart="whenNotActive"
  repeatCount="indefinite"
  dur="10s"
  values="
       0, 75.74, 74.91;
      -360, 75.74, 74.91"
  additive="sum" />   

2. Inside is the second animation of the rotation of circles and letters.

<animateTransform  attributeName="transform" type="rotate" begin="svg1.click" restart="whenNotActive"
repeatCount="indefinite" dur="10s"  
values="
    0, 56.13, 106.87;
    360, 56.13, 106.87"
additive="sum" /> 

3. We find the coordinates of the center of rotation of the letters using the getBBox () JS method

<script> 
  //Find the center of rotation of the letter A
  let bb = a1.getBBox();
console.log(bb.x+bb.width/2); 
console.log(bb.y+bb.height/2);
</script> 

The animation will start after clicking

text {
  font-family:sans-serif;
  font-size:14px;
  font-weight:bold;
  fill:#6E6E6E;
  }
