# SVG
## Base tag
Everything goes inside here
```xml
<svg></svg>
```
## Positioning
SVG tag is an inline element
- (0,0) - x = 0, y = 0
- starts at top left
- y increases vertically down
- can use negative values
- -x goes left
- -y goes up
## Styling
Can be done with attributes:
- `fill=red` or `fill=#ff0000` fill color
- `stroke=red` or `stroke=#ff0000` stroke color
- `stroke-width=4` width of stroke
- `fill-opacity=0.5` transparency of fill
- `stroke-opacity=0.5` transparency of stroke
- `transform = "translate(2,3)"`
- `transform = "scale(2.1)"`
- `transform = "rotate(45)"`
Can also be done with CSS:
```css
circle {
fill:red;
stroke:blue;
stroke-width:3;
fill-opacity:0.5;
stroke-opacity:0.1;
transform:rotate(45deg) scale(0.4) translate(155px, 1px);
}
```
## Circle
- attributes
- `r` radius
- `cx` x position
- `cy` y position
```xml
<circle r="50" cx="200" cy="300"/>
```
## Line
- attributes
- `x1` starting x position
- `y1` starting y position
- `x2` ending x position
- `y2` ending y position
```xml
<line x1="0" y1="0" x2="100" y2="100"/> <!-- no stroke, so invisible -->
<line x1="0" y1="0" x2="100" y2="100" stroke="purple"/>
```
## Rectangle
- attributes
- `x` x position of top left
- `y` y position of top left
```xml
<rect x="50" y="20" width="150" height="150"/>
```
## Ellipse
- attributes
- `cx` x position
- `cy` y position
- `rx` x radius
- `ry` y radius
```xml
<ellipse cx="200" cy="80" rx="100" ry="50"/>
```
## Polygon
- attributes
- `points` set of coordinate pairs
- each pair is of the form x,y
```xml
<polygon points="200,10 250,190 160,210" />
```
## Polyline
A series of connected lines. Can have a fill like a polygon, but won't automatically rejoin itself
```xml
<polyline points="20,20 40,25 60,40 80,120 120,140 200,180" stroke="blue" fill="none"/>
```
## Path
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Tutorial/Paths
- attributes
- `d` a set of drawing commands
- M = moveto
- L = lineto
- Q = quadratic Bézier curve
- Q x1 y1, x y
- uses one control point for start and end controls
- T = smooth quadratic Bézier curveto
- T x y
- strings together multiple quadratic lines
- C = curveto
- C x1 y1, x2 y2, x y
- first pair is first control point
- second pair is second control point
- last pair is final ending point of curve
- S = smooth curveto
- S x2 y2, x y
- follows another S or C command
- uses x2 y2 of previous S or C command
- 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.
```xml
<path d="M150 0 L75 200 L225 200 Z" />
<path d="M0 100 Q 50 50, 100 100 T 200 100 Z" stroke="black" fill="transparent"/>
<path d="M0 70 C 0 120, 50 120, 50 70 S 100 20, 100 70" stroke="black" fill="transparent"/>
``
## Text
Content of tag is the text
```xml
<text x="0" y="15">I love SVG!</text>
```
Can use font-family and font-size CSS styling
## Group
- no special attributes, so use transform
- can put multiple elements inside it.
- positioning and styling apply to children
```xml
<g></g>
```
