      I use both MMM-PenPlotter and MMM-Wallpaper (the jupadin version) and was able to make the images transparent with no black box. You need to edit each of the svg files in the example_svg folder.

      Most of the files were updated by adding

      fill="transparent"
      

      in the section with:

      <desc>pwidth:500;pheight:500;</desc>
          <path
             stroke="#999999"
             stroke-width="0.2mm"
             fill="transparent"
             
      

      There were a couple where background was already defined in the 3rd row of the files so it had to be updated there. Let me know if you need more specifics.

              I am interested in attempting to create one, but how do you handle the code when path is formatted as shown below, with spaces and new lines and not having separate paths individually spelled out like what is discsussed in: https://youtu.be/Nz0SzKKdd-A

              The code from this screenshot is the bunny, found at: https://drawingbots.net/knowledge/tools/svg-generator

                Also, if you use https://sandify.org/ to generate a svg file, how do you figure out the number of paths to update the stroke-dasharray and stroke-dashoffset values in the style section, as the svg file will not have individual paths specified?

                Example:
                d1e609c3-424b-4175-a449-46a268f5cdec-image.png

                If I move the svg file to the example_svg folder on my MM, it just shows to completed picture, and does not actually draw it. I am guessing this is bc the value for both are currently set to 1 (but again not sure how to determine what those values would actually be)

                  Disregard, I figured it out. I did not realize that the path is effectively a value of 1 if not otherwise specified, thus following the guide on https://jbamford.github.io/Animate-SVG-Files-Breakdown/ and specifying

                  pathLength="1"
                  

                  and

                  stroke-dasharray: 1;
                  stroke-dashoffset: 1;
                  

                  in there respective places in the svg files allows the animation to work.

                  I can now create as many animated svg files for this module as I like, using https://sandify.org. Awesome!
