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:

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!
