This example demonstrates a technique for embedding an SVG image in a webpage while ensuring backward compatibility with browsers that do not support the SVG format. The code shows an `<object>` element that references an external SVG file via the `data` attribute, with a fallback `<img>` tag pointing to a PNG version inside the object. The outer `<div>` controls the display size using width and height percentages. No JavaScript libraries are used; the approach relies purely on native HTML elements to handle graceful degradation for older browsers like IE.

HTML inside SVG

This example demonstrates how to embed standard HTML elements inside an SVG canvas using the `foreignObject` API. A red-bordered SVG contains a green-bordered `div` positioned at specified x and y coordinates, while separate HTML `div` elements appear above and below the SVG. The page loads as a standalone `index.html` file with no external libraries, relying purely on native SVG and HTML markup to show that foreign objects can mix rendering contexts within a single graphic.

SVG Fundamentals

This example presents the foundational concept of embedding vector graphics within an HTML document. It demonstrates a basic HTML page that uses a CSS class to assign a large, centered font size to a text element. The rendering is achieved through standard HTML and CSS without any JavaScript or external libraries. The page’s sole purpose is to display the message "Hello HTML!" as a full-page visual, serving as a minimal template for more complex SVG or React-based projects.

Putting SVG in the HTML

This example demonstrates how to embed a static SVG graphic directly within an HTML page for a simple car-themed report. The SVG contains basic shapes such as circles, rectangles, lines, and paths, styled with CSS and inline attributes like `stroke` and `fill`. It uses no external libraries, relying solely on core HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The stylesheet applies global margins and overflow settings, while specific CSS classes and attribute selectors define visual properties for elements like lines. The rendering is purely SVG-based, with no interactive data binding or dynamic updates shown.

Implement SVG in HTML

This example demonstrates basic SVG shapes embedded directly in an HTML document without any JavaScript libraries. It shows circles, rectangles, and a line rendered as SVG elements, with some shapes using default black fills while others specify explicit fill colors like red and green. A `<g>` group element applies a shared fill color, stroke color, and stroke width to multiple shapes, and the `transform` attribute translates the group’s position. The page also includes a simple CSS rule that removes the body margin and hides overflow, while an unused `.lines` class suggests styling for potential path elements.

SVG Fundamentals - Havsilog

This example renders a minimal SVG element within an HTML page, demonstrating the foundational structure for vector graphics. The code uses plain, unscoped SVG tags inside a basic HTML document, with no additional graphical content or styling applied. It highlights the starting point for building SVG-based visualizations, relying on the browser’s native SVG rendering capabilities rather than any external JavaScript library. The page serves as a barebones template, showing how to embed vector graphics directly into web content using standard markup.

svg - fundamentals

This example demonstrates the foundational elements of SVG rendering within an HTML page, using a minimal setup that pairs CSS and JavaScript. The page displays the text “svg” directly in the body, with an empty SVG container ready for graphics. The code relies on standard web technologies—HTML structure, CSS styling, and JavaScript for interactivity—without any external libraries or frameworks. It serves as a bare-bones starting point for visualizing how SVG integrates with the Document Object Model, emphasizing the raw structure needed before adding shapes, paths, or data-driven elements.

SVG Fundamentals

This example demonstrates the foundational elements of SVG graphics within a minimal HTML page. It shows how SVG content can be structured using standard tags and attributes, such as shapes, paths, and styling properties, rendered directly in the browser. The implementation relies on native HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, without any external libraries. The page uses an empty `<body>` element, indicating that the visual output is likely generated dynamically through JavaScript, though the code does not include explicit SVG construction or rendering logic in the provided files. The focus is on the conceptual groundwork for building scalable vector graphics.

SVG Fundamentals

This example demonstrates the contrast between plain HTML text and the scalable, code-driven world of SVG. It shows how a minimal HTML page can be styled with CSS, while the title hints at the power of SVG for data visualization. The code uses basic HTML elements and a CSS class for text styling, with no JavaScript or external libraries beyond the document’s own structure. It serves as a bare-bones starting point for understanding web rendering before adding interactive or data-bound graphics.
