    <p>I have done a table in SVG, and I want to fill it with data dynamically. That means that I don't know how much space the text takes, and I want to clip or hide the overlapping text. How can I do that in SVG?</p> <p>My HTML document with SVG looks like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;svg&gt; &lt;text x="100" y="100"&gt;Orange&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="160" y="100"&gt;12&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="100" y="115"&gt;Pear&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="160" y="115"&gt;7&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="100" y="130"&gt;Banana&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="160" y="130"&gt;9&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="100" y="145"&gt;Pomegranate&lt;/text&gt;&lt;text x="160" y="145"&gt;2&lt;/text&gt; &lt;line x1="157" y1="85" x2="157" y2="155" style="stroke:rgb(100,100,100)"/&gt; &lt;/svg&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>And this will render to:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Y4ZvM.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>Is there any way I can clip the text i my SVG-"table"?</p> <hr> <p><em>Implemented solution</em> from Erik's answer:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;svg&gt; &lt;text x="10" y="20" clip-path="url(#clip1)"&gt;Orange&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="10" y="35" clip-path="url(#clip1)"&gt;Pear&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="10" y="50" clip-path="url(#clip1)"&gt;Banana&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="10" y="65" clip-path="url(#clip1)"&gt;Pomegranate&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="70" y="20"&gt;12&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="70" y="35"&gt;7&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="70" y="50"&gt;9&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="70" y="65"&gt;2&lt;/text&gt; &lt;line x1="67" y1="5" x2="67" y2="75" style="stroke:rgb(100,100,100)"/&gt; &lt;clipPath id="clip1"&gt; &lt;rect x="5" y="5" width="57" height="90"/&gt; &lt;/clipPath&gt; &lt;/svg&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZK9hP.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
