Using toDefs()
Testing the toDefs and Use methods
// Tux image is from creative commons, I didn't create it!
var s = Snap("#svgout");
var tux = Snap.load("Dreaming_tux.svg", function ( loadedFragment ) {
s.append( loadedFragment );
var tux = s.select("#tux");
tux.toDefs();
var tuxDef = s.select("#tux");
var u1 = tuxDef.use();
s.append( u1 );
var bb = u1.getBBox();
u1.animate( { transform: 'r360' + ',' + bb.cx + ',' + bb.cy }, 2000);
var u2 = tuxDef.use().attr({ x: 200, y: 200 });
s.append( u2 );
var bb2 = u2.getBBox();
u2.animate( { transform: 'r360' + ',' + parseInt(bb2.cx + 200) + ',' + parseInt(bb2.cy + 200 )}, 4000);
} );
