Fundamentals of SVG Programming: Concepts to Source Code (Graphics Series)

Summary

This chapter presented techniques for rendering circles, ellipses, cones, and cylinders in conjunction with linear gradient shading and radial gradient shading. The examples demonstrated how to use the following SVG elements:

• the SVG circle element for drawing circles

• the SVG ellipse element for drawing ellipses

• the SVG path element for drawing elliptic arcs

• creating wave-like color effects with radial gradients

• rendering sphere-like images with radial gradients

• rendering cones with linear gradients

• rendering cylinders with linear gradients

• creating lumination-like effects with radial gradients
