SVG Lines in HTML

Here's a quick tutorial that will teach you how to create a line with HTML's svg and line tags.

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
	viewBox="0 0 1000 200">

	<line x1="100" x2="900"
		y1="150" y2="50"
		stroke="#e89a3e"
		stroke-width="4"
		opacity="1.0" />
</svg>

The Attributes

Here are the attributes used to define our line:

• x1 & y1: The x and y position of the first point of the line, relative to the size and position of the viewbox.
• x2 & y2: The x and y position of the second point of the line, relative to the size and position of the viewbox.
• stroke: The color of the line. This value can be defined either by specifying a hexadecimal color code as we did above or by using a valid color name.
• stroke-width: The width of the line output to the screen, relative to the size of the viewbox.
• opacity: Determines if the line will have any transparency. Valid decimal values can be between 0.0 (invisible) and 1.0 (fully visible). A value of 0.5 would give the line 50% transparency.
