This example demonstrates a simple SVG smiley face constructed with basic geometric shapes. It shows how SVG elements—a pink circle for the head, green and blue ellipses for the eyes, and a brown path with an M and Q command for the mouth—can combine to form a recognizable illustration. The code uses plain SVG markup within an HTML document, referencing no external JavaScript libraries. Styling is applied via attributes like `fill`, `stroke`, and `stroke-width`, with the canvas defined by a 960x500 coordinate system. The project highlights SVG’s vector rendering approach, ensuring scalable, non-pixelated output.

AI-generated description

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) are well-suited to lossless image data compression algorithms. The best part about SVG is that it's vector based instead of raster based, so there's no need to worry about images becoming "pixelated" when authors scale their images in addition to yielding smaller file sizes.
