The SVG path is not aligned properly with the container's viewbox dimensions

Recently, I came across an icon provided by a plugin I am using called calendar. However, I wanted to enhance my icons set with a new addition - the twitter icon.

svg {
    display: inline-block;
    height: 16px;
    width: 16px;
    margin: 2px 0;
    fill: #111;
    text-decoration: none;
    pointer-events: none;
    line-height: 1;
}
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 16 16" unselectable="on"><path d="M8.1 7v1h2.7v1H8.094v3H11.7v-1H9v-1h2.7V7zM4.5 7v1h.8v3h-.8v1h2.7v-1h-.9V7zM.9 1v14h14.4V1h-1.8v2h-2.7V1H5.4v2H2.7V1zm.9 4h12.6v9H1.8z"></path></svg>

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 16 16" unselectable="on"><path class="letterB" d="M16.16 4.557c-.883.392-1.832.656-2.828.775 1.017-.609 1.798-1.574 2.165-2.724-.951.564-2.005.974-3.127 1.195-.897-.957-2.178-1.555-3.594-1.555-3.179 0-5.515 2.966-4.797 6.045-4.091-.205-7.719-2.165-10.148-5.144-1.29 2.213-.669 5.108 1.523 6.574-.806-.026-1.566-.247-2.229-.616-.054 2.281 1.581 4.415 3.949 4.89-.693.188-1.452.232-2.224.084.626 1.956 2.444 3.379 4.6 3.419-2.07 1.623-4.678 2.348-7.29 2.04 2.179 1.397 4.768 2.212 7.548 2.212 9.142 0 14.307-7.721 13.995-14.646.962-.695 1.797-1.562 2.457-2.549z"></path></svg>

Although both icons are in SVG format, the first one, calendar, is optimized for viewbox 16 16. On the other hand, the Twitter icon's SVG path was copied from a website and does not align properly within the container as shown in the example...

Is there a way to address this issue? I attempted to assign a class to the twitter path but encountered difficulties.

Answer №1

Transformed your Twitter icon to fix a scale to viewBox issue.

svg {
    display: inline-block;
    height: 16px;
    width: 16px;
    margin: 2px 0;

You can edit individual paths at: aydos.com/svgedit

Update: A better editor can be found at:

Answer №2

Instead of going through the trouble of modifying paths, you have the option to apply a transform directly on the path itself.

<path transform='scale(.5) translate(8 8)' ..../>

Another approach is to group all SVG elements together and apply a single transform to the entire group:

<g transform='scale(.5) translate(8 8)'>

.. include all paths, rects, or other shapes here

</g>
