• SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics
• SVG is a specification for creating vector graphics
• SVG can be scaled up or down without lose of image quality
• SVG images and behaviors are defined in XML
• Since the DOM uses XML, we can use the DOM tree to create, access, and structure SVG Images
• SVG images can be defined within an HTML document as if you were writing HTML
• To define an SVG image, use an opening <svg> tag and a closing <svg> tag
• SVG comes with basic shapes built in: rectangle, circle, ellipse, line, polyline, and polygon.
