As a vector graphics format, SVG uses precisely-
defined geometric shapes to build an image. But SVG
is not only useful for simple technical drawings. SVG
graphics can be shaded, textured, built from partially
transparent overlapping layers, or even filled with
photographic images.
This book takes a deep dive into a specic aspect of SVG:
painting. You won’t use oils or watercolors, but graphical
instructions that a computer can turn into detailed, full-
color images. The creative possibilities are endless, once
you know how to take advantage of all that SVG oers.
■ Learn how the SVG rendering model works
with strokes and lls
■ Apply standard colors, dene custom
colors, or create a named color palette
■ Set transparency for objects, strokes, and lls
■ Dene reusable painting instructions with
SVG paint servers
■ Create and use simple and repeating linear
and radial gradients, scaled to t or with
absolute positions
■ Add tiles, textures, and background images
with patterns
■ Understand and avoid the quirks and
pitfalls of painting strokes and text
■ Animate lls and strokes or the paint server
elements they use
Includes reference sections on color keywords and syntax,
and paint server elements, attributes, and style properties.
