The <path> tag is used to define a path.
The <path> Tag
The <path> tag is used to define a path.
The following commands are available for path data:
- M = moveto
- L = lineto
- H = horizontal lineto
- V = vertical lineto
- C = curveto
- S = smooth curveto
- Q = quadratic Belzier curve
- T = smooth quadratic Belzier curveto
- A = elliptical Arc
- Z = closepath
Note: All of the commands above can also be expressed with lower
letters. Capital letters means absolutely positioned, lower cases means
relatively positioned.
Copy the following code into Notepad and save
the file as "path1.svg". Place the file in your Web directory:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg width="100%" height="100%" version="1.1"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<path d="M250 150 L150 350 L350 350 Z" />
</svg>
|
The example above defines a path that starts at position 250 150 with a line to
position 150 350 then
from there a line to 350 350 and finally closing the path back to 250 150.

Complex? YES!!!! Because of the complexity involved in drawing paths it is highly recommended
to use an SVG editor to create complex graphics.
