HTML SVG

❮ Prev Home ❯

SVG stands for scalable vector graphics. It is an XML based image format which is used to define two dimensional images. It is composed of shapes.

The SVG images do not lose quality upon scaling up and down like raster images. As HTML is for text in the same way SVG is for graphics.

SVG is mostly useful while creating vector diagrams like pie chart, 2D graph in x,y coordinate systems etc.
