SVG is a tiny Javascript library intended to create and manage SVG elements in the DOM. SVG is designed to be embedded in another library. SVG is intended to run on ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) compliant browsers.
You can create an SVG node inside a div by typing:
// SVG is built upon the prototypal pattern, you don't need the operator 'new'.
var svg = SVG('#svg');If you have a look to the DOM, you will see:
<div id="svg">
<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"></svg>
</div>Then, you can fill your SVG node:
var svg = SVG('#svg');
// Append a rectangle:
svg
.append('rect')
.attr('x', 100)
.attr('y', 100)
.attr('width', 100)
.attr('height', 100)
;You get:
<div id="svg">
<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<rect x="100" y="100" width="100" height="100"></rect>
</svg>
