Exploring Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) for web development.

SVG Basics

SVG allows for the creation of shapes, paths, and text that can be styled with CSS and manipulated with JavaScript. This makes SVG a powerful tool for creating interactive and dynamic graphics on the web.

SVG Path

• Capital letters in SVG path commands indicate absolute coordinates, while lowercase letters indicate relative coordinates.
• M: Move to a specific point (e.g., M 10 10 moves to coordinates (10, 10)).
• L: Draw a line to a specific point (e.g., L 20 20 draws a line to coordinates (20, 20)).
• H: Draw a horizontal line (e.g., H 30 draws a horizontal line to x=30).
• V: Draw a vertical line (e.g., V 40 draws a vertical line to y=40).
• Z: Closes the current path by drawing a line back to the starting point.

Curves

• Cubic bezier curves, Quadratic bezier curves, and Arc commands are used to create complex shapes.
• C: Cubic Bezier curve (e.g., C x1 y1 x2 y2 x y) defines a curve with two control points and an end point.

• S: Smooth cubic Bezier curve (e.g., S x2 y2 x y) continues from the previous curve's end point.

• Q: Quadratic Bezier curve (e.g., Q x1 y1 x y) defines a curve with one control point and an end point.

• T: Smooth quadratic Bezier curve (e.g., T x y) continues from the previous curve's end point.
