SVG Shapes
SVG has some predefined shape elements that can be used by developers:
- Rectangle <rect>
- Circle <circle>
- Ellipse <ellipse>
- Line <line>
- Polyline <polyline>
- Polygon <polygon>
- Path <path>
The following chapters will explain each element, starting with the rect element.
SVG Rectangle - <rect>
Example 1
The <rect> element is used to create a rectangle and variations of a rectangle shape:
Sorry, your browser does not support inline SVG.
Here is the SVG code:
Example
<svg width="400" height="110">
<rect width="300" height="100"
style="fill:rgb(0,0,255);stroke-width:3;stroke:rgb(0,0,0)" />
</svg>

Code explanation:
- The width and height attributes of the <rect> element define the height and
the width of the rectangle - The style attribute is used to define CSS properties for the rectangle
- The CSS fill property defines the fill color of the rectangle
- The CSS stroke-width property defines the width of the border of the rectangle
- The CSS stroke property defines the color of the border of the rectangle

Example 2
Let's look at another example that contains some new attributes:

Here is the SVG code:
Example
<svg width="400" height="180">
<rect x="50" y="20" width="150" height="150"
style="fill:blue;stroke:pink;stroke-width:5;fill-opacity:0.1;stroke-opacity:0.9" />
</svg>

Code explanation:
- The x attribute defines the left position of the rectangle (e.g. x="50"
places the rectangle 50 px from the left margin) - The y attribute defines the top position of the rectangle (e.g. y="20"
places the rectangle 20 px from the top margin) - The CSS fill-opacity property defines the opacity of the fill color (legal range: 0 to 1)
- The CSS stroke-opacity property defines the opacity of the stroke color (legal range: 0 to 1)
Example 3
Define the opacity for the whole element:

Here is the SVG code:
Example
<svg width="400" height="180">
<rect x="50" y="20" rx="20" ry="20" width="150"
height="150"
style="fill:red;stroke:black;stroke-width:5;opacity:0.5" />
</svg>
