SVG Path - <path>


The <path> element is used to define a path.


The following commands are available for path data:



  • M = moveto

  • L = lineto

  • H = horizontal lineto

  • V = vertical lineto

  • C = curveto

  • S = smooth curveto

  • Q = quadratic Bézier curve

  • T = smooth quadratic Bézier curveto

  • A = elliptical Arc

  • 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.




Example 1


The example below defines a path that starts at position 150,0 with a line to position 75,200
then from there, a line to 225,200 and finally closing the path back to 150,0:

Example 2


Bézier curves are used to model smooth curves that can be scaled
indefinitely. Generally, the user selects two endpoints and one or two control
points. A Bézier curve with one control point is called a quadratic Bézier curve
and the kind with two control points is called cubic.


The following example creates a quadratic Bézier curve, where A and C are the
start and end points, B is the control point:

    <circle id="pointC" cx="400" cy="350" r="3" />

  <!-- Label the points -->

    <text x="100" y="350" dx="-30">A</text>
    <text x="250" y="50" dy="-10">B</text>
    <text x="400" y="350" dx="30">C</text>

Complex? YES!!!! Because of the complexity involved in drawing paths it is
highly recommended to use an SVG editor to create complex graphics.
