The flowRegion element contains a set of shapes and exclusion regions in which the text content of a parent flowText element is drawn into.
The flowRegion element contains a set of shapes and exclusion regions in which the text content of a parent flowText element is drawn into. A flowRegion element has basic shapes and path elements as children, as well as a flowRegionExclude element. The children of a flowRegion element are inserted into the rendering tree before the text is drawn, and have the same rendering behavior as if they were children of a g element.
The child elements create a sequence of shapes in which the text content for the parent flowText will be drawn into. Once the text fills a shape it flows into the next shape.
The flowRegionExclude child describes a set of regions in which text will not be drawn into, such as a cutout from a rectangular block of text.
The child elements of a flowRegion can be transformed as usual, but the text is always laid out in the coordinate system of the flowText element. For example, a rect child with a 45 degree rotation transformation will appear as a diamond, but the text will be axis aligned.
