The JavaScript exception "getter functions must have no arguments" occurs when a getter is declared and the parameter list is non-empty.

Perhaps more exciting than just fills and strokes is the fact that you can also create and apply gradients as either fills or strokes.

Now that we covered the basics of the SVG internals, we will take a look at some tools to work with SVG files.

This tutorial aims to explain the internals of SVG and is packed with technical details. If you just want to draw beautiful images, you might find more useful resources at Inkscape's documentation page. Another good introduction to SVG is provided by the W3C's SVG Primer. Also check out this advent calendar-themed SVG Tutorial that walks you through coding 25 festive SVGs.

The target attribute on the SVG <a> element doesn't work in Mozilla Firefox 1.5. When SVG documents are embedded within a parent HTML document using the tag:

Every property in JavaScript objects can be classified by three factors:

In this article, we examine how Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) represents the positions and sizes of objects within a drawing context, including coordinate system and what a "pixel" measurement means in a scalable context.

Symbol is a built-in object whose constructor returns a symbol primitive — also called a Symbol value or just a Symbol — that's guaranteed to be unique. Symbols are often used to add unique property keys to an object that won't collide with keys any other code might add to the object, and which are hidden from any mechanisms other code will typically use to access the object. That enables a form of weak encapsulation, or a weak form of information hiding.

There are several basic shapes used for most SVG drawing. The purpose of these shapes is fairly obvious from their names. Some of the parameters that determine their position and size are given, but an element reference would probably contain more accurate and complete descriptions along with other properties that won't be covered in here. However, since they're used in most SVG documents, it's necessary to give them some sort of introduction.

Number values represent floating-point numbers like 37 or -9.25.
