HTML svg Tag

The HTML <svg> tag is used to embed scalable vector graphics in an HTML document. SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, which is a markup language for describing two-dimensional graphics using XML.

Here’s an example of how the <svg> tag can be used:

<svg width="200" height="200">
  <circle cx="100" cy="100" r="50" fill="red" />
</svg>

In the above example, the <svg> tag is used to define an SVG container with a width of 200 pixels and a height of 200 pixels. Within the <svg> tag, a <circle> element is used to draw a red circle with a center point (cx, cy) at (100, 100) and a radius (r) of 50 pixels.

SVG provides a wide range of elements and attributes to create various shapes, lines, curves, and text within the SVG container. It allows for precise positioning, scaling, and styling of the graphics. Additionally, you can apply CSS styles to SVG elements to customize their appearance.

SVG graphics are resolution-independent, which means they can be scaled up or down without losing quality. This makes SVG an ideal choice for creating graphics that need to adapt to different screen sizes and devices.

SVG graphics can be created using specialized software like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape and then embedded in an HTML document using the <svg> tag. Alternatively, you can also write SVG markup directly within the HTML file.

By using the <svg> tag, you can include scalable vector graphics within your HTML documents, allowing you to create and display visually appealing and interactive graphics that adapt well to different screen sizes and resolutions.
