The article discusses the use of SMIL for creating animated SVG icons, specifically focusing on a ringing bell icon. It explains how SMIL allows for precise control over individual attributes of the animation, creating a natural swinging motion. The breakdown includes the SVG structure and the physics-inspired timing of the animation.
- ▪SMIL offers declarative control over SVG animations without external dependencies.
- ▪The bell icon consists of two main parts: the bell body and the clapper, which are animated independently.
- ▪The animation mimics a pendulum's motion, utilizing keyTimes and keySplines to create realistic movement.
