HTML - <svg> Tag
HTML <svg> tag is used to contain SVG graphics. SVG is mostly used for vector diagrams, such as pie charts and 2D graphs with an X, Y coordinate system etc.
XML text files can be used to define SVG images and their behaviors. An SVG image can therefore be created and edited as XML files, but generally speaking, drawing program like inkspace are preferred to generate it. It describes mixed vector and two-dimensional vector graphics in XML.
