How to draw a polyline in HTML5 SVG?

HTML Web Development Front End Technology

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics and is a language for describing 2D-graphics and graphical applications in XML and the XML is then rendered by an SVG viewer. Most of the web browsers can display SVG just like they can display PNG, GIF, and JPG.

To draw a polygon in HTML SVG, use the SVG <polyline> element. The <polyline> element is to create a shape that consists of straight lines. The points attribute is the x and y coordinates for each corner.
