The SVG
<path>element is notoriously tricky. When I first encountered it, I found it totally inscrutable. Its syntax isn’t quite as bad as Regex, but it has the same sort of “what on earth?” vibes.At the same time,
<path>elements are also incredibly useful. They’re the only way to create curved shapes in SVG, beyond full ellipses. And once you get the hang of it, they’re actually quite a lot of fun to use!In this blog post, we’ll cover all of the basic commands, including the infamous arc command. I’ll help you build an intuition for how they work, and show you some cool stuff you can do with them!
