 Take a look at this codepen

 It morphs the two shapes by flipping and growing one of the lines when all it needs to do is tween outward.

Is there something wrong with my svg paths?

Looks like you've got some strangeness with your paths. You may have to address those issues in your vector software and re-export.

 

To see what I mean please try setting a temporary fill color on your #December_2004 path and watch the morph. You'll see that some of the points are crossing over each other and the fill isn't contained to the outline. Hopefully that makes sense.

 

Happy morphing.

wow, I made that change and I see it! so strange. I inherited these paths and I don't work with vector files but I seems I'm going to have to learn. What vector program would you recommend in this situation?

I personally use Adobe Illustrator for all my vector work. If you have Adobe's Creative Suite, it's what I'd recommend. If you don't have access to that suite, I know quite a few people use Inkscape. It's free and open source.

@Pointc, thanks for telling me about inkscape!

I've fixed my path problems and now the morph works way better! but is it now possible to force morphsvg not to cross lines? Take a look at the new codepen below with my new paths.

See the Pen KagZXy by anon (@anon) on CodePen.

notice how the loop at the bottom tip crosses over itself during the morph? so I'm wondering if there is a command that could prevent behavior from occurring?
