Choose File > Save As from the Menu Bar. You can create a file and then choose File > Save As to save the file. In the save window, change the Format to SVG (svg) and then click Save. Change the format to SVG.
SVG images can be written directly into the HTML document using the <svg> </svg> tag. To do this, open the SVG image in VS code or your preferred IDE, copy the code, and paste it inside the <body> element in your HTML document.
SVG is an application of XML and is compatible with XML 1.0 and with the Namespaces in XML specification. However, when SVG content is included in HTML document, the HTML syntax applies and may not be compatible with XML.
Have a look at this list on Wikipedia about which browsers support SVG. It also provides links to more details in the footnotes. Firefox for example supports basic SVG, but at the moment lacks most animation features.
A tutorial about how to create SVG objects using Javascript can be found here:
var svgns = "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; var svgDocument = evt.target.ownerDocument; var shape = svgDocument.createElementNS(svgns, "circle"); shape.setAttributeNS(null, "cx", 25); shape.setAttributeNS(null, "cy", 25); shape.setAttributeNS(null, "r", 20); shape.setAttributeNS(null, "fill", "green"); If you love us?
