Playing with vectors – SVG in canvas apps
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a vector image format that uses an Extensible Markup Language (XML) structure. It means that this is a text-based file format containing coordinates that create an image.
One particular advantage of this format is that the quality is not affected when you change its dimensions. Being a vector format, it draws the image according to its dimensions. One usage example is a company logo, where you need to maintain quality, no matter the size, in places such as business cards, websites, and document templates.
This format provides even more features, like animation or HTML content styling. For the complete documentation, please refer to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG.
