- SVGs (Scalable Vector Graphics) are an image format that uses XML syntax, allowing them to be manipulated with CSS and JavaScript.
- Inline SVGs can be directly embedded in HTML, making them dynamic and interactive.
- SVG shapes include <circle>, <rect>, <line>, <polygon>, and <ellipse>, each with unique attributes for customization.
- The viewBox attribute in SVGs defines an internal coordinate system, enabling scalable and responsive designs.
- SVG strokes can be styled with properties like stroke-width, stroke-dasharray, and stroke-linecap, and animated using CSS.
- Animating stroke-dashoffset can create effects like self-drawing SVGs or animated spinners.
- SVGs are powerful for creating dynamic, scalable, and interactive illustrations in web development.
