WHAT THIS MODULE COVERS

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), Geometry, and Interactive Systems

Master vector graphics engineering: inline SVG syntax, viewBox coordinate systems, vector path mathematics (M, C, L, Z), CSS stroke animations, and interactive vector dashboards.

BEFORE YOU START

Responsive image concepts.

WHAT YOU’LL BE ABLE TO DO

Construct scalable vector graphics with viewBox coordinate spaces, cubic bezier paths, CSS stroke animations, and accessible SVGs.

THE LESSON SEQUENCE

Read in order, or jump to what you need.

Every lesson builds on the one before it. Open any lesson to read the explanation, run the examples, and try the practice challenges.

  1. 06.01
    Inline SVG Architecture: Syntax, Namespaces, and the viewBox Coordinate System

    Deconstruct Scalable Vector Graphics: inline XML embedding vs external images, SVG namespaces, and the mathematical mechanics of the viewBox coordinate system (minX minY width height).

    4 min
  2. 06.02
    Vector Geometry: SVG Primitives, Path Syntax (<path d>), and Fill Rules

    Master vector path construction: geometric primitives (<rect>, <circle>, <polygon>), path commands (M, L, H, V, C, S, Q, A, Z), and fill-rule mechanics (nonzero vs evenodd).

    4 min
  3. 06.03
    CSS Styling, Stroke Dash Animations, and JavaScript SVG Manipulation

    Bring vectors to life: styling SVG nodes with CSS custom properties, self-drawing line animations with stroke-dasharray and stroke-dashoffset, and dynamic DOM manipulation.

    4 min
  4. 06.04
    Project 2: Interactive SVG Vector Infographic & Analytics DashboardProject

    Build an accessible, responsive, interactive vector dashboard: inline SVG coordinate architecture, multi-metric circular progress gauges, accessible data tables, and dynamic hover telemetry.
