What is the SVG element?

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based image format used for creating two-dimensional vector graphics. SVG graphics can be scaled without losing quality, making it ideal for website graphics, icons, and illustrations.

The SVG widget allows you to incorporate SVG graphics into your webpage as a separate element.
