Which plugin to use to do this?

Hi, everybody.
I bought this beautiful library 2 days ago, so I'm totally new, and after reading a bit of documentation and a good dose of "depression" 😂  I have a question.

I also searched the Forum but I don't know exactly what to look for, so excuse me if I repeat something that already exists.
 

I created a simple rectangle in illustrator.
Now I try to animate it from the bottom to the top, keeping its structure.

I don't understand if I have to use DrawSVGPlugin or MorphSVGPlugin or neither of these because I'm getting unnecessarily complicated.

 

I've inserted a screenshot to show exactly what I'm trying to do.

 

I tried to do it in this way but I really think it's wrong or is some piece missing?

Original (Start)

 

<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" width="83.7px"
	 height="94.5px" viewBox="0 0 83.7 94.5" enable-background="new 0 0 83.7 94.5" xml:space="preserve">
   <polyline id="A-left_1_" fill="#333333" points="0,0.3 3.3,0 25.5,0 24.3,0.3 0,0.3 "/>
</svg>


Animate (Finish)

tl.to("#A-left_1_",1,{attr:{points:'23.3,0 45.5,0 24.3,94.5 0,94.5'}});

 

The result, as you can see in the gif, is that it starts from the top and goes down and also does not stretch as I expected.

 

Can you give me some indication to follow "conceptually" 
or some link to the documentation to recreate something like this? I'm sure I'm going the wrong way.
Thank you very much.

Have a nice day.

Hello alle,

im sure that you will get a lot of help here and come to like using your new tool set.

im just a newbie but looking at your post I think that you ought to check out MorphSVGPlugin and it’s ability to take an SVG and transform to a new set of points using Gsap.to()

there is some good explanation and lots of examples In the documentation where you can take an svg and morph to a final shape.

obviously you can also approach it from the opposite direction using gsap.from()

Here I am again. (Richard and Mike)
Thanks for the super quick response.

I've been trying to do some experiments.
The first morphology, but I still don't quite understand how it works and I can't get complete control of the object.
I don't understand how to start it from the bottom, obviously it must have "total discontrol" 😂😂

 

The second one was in fact just making a mask, but even in this case I was not super sure of the idea and also I was not able (I still have too many gaps in 48 hours you can't learn, I guess 😂).
Now with this example I will try to solve my first experiment.

Thank you for your support. 
I will surely come back with some questions :-)

Have a nice day

Alessandro

If I understand the desired outcome correctly, I'd think a skewed rectangle and scaleY animation would work well.

 

 

 


Yes, sir!
Thank you so much for showing me the way.
I'm really grateful, by all means I'm reading all the documentation to get a global idea.
Thank you very much again

Alessandro
