svg clip image and show stroke

Question

Hi I am new on this site so please forgive me if i am not clear about what i am trying to do

My Question is:-

I am using HTML5 and SVG to clip the image so that only the part of the image that is inside the clipping/polygon shape is displayed while any part outside the polygon shape is invisible/clipped

Also I wish to add stroke width and color to the polygon shape

The SVG code that i am using:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</a>
</svg>

The above mentioned code works fine, it display's an image that has a polygon shape, only the image part falling inside the shape is displayed whereas any part falling outside the shape is hidden

But somehow I tried various things but still i am not able to display stroke/border.

My question is how to display the border/stroke on a polygon shape that is used to clip an image

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

At first, please write ID in small letters in order to make the clip path work: <clipPath id="SVGID_1_">

Second, just duplicate your path in order to use is as regular shape.

Alternatively, you can define you path as a shape and just refer to its name afterwards:
