The stroke attribute is a presentation attribute defining the color (or any SVG paint servers like gradients or patterns) used to paint the outline of the shape;

Note: As a presentation attribute stroke can be used as a CSS property.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

Example

html,body,svg { height:100% }

<svg viewBox="0 0 20 10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <!-- Simple color stroke -->
  <circle cx="5" cy="5" r="4" fill="none"
          stroke="green" />

  <!-- Stroke a circle with a gradient -->
  <defs>
    <linearGradient id="myGradient">
      <stop offset="0%"   stop-color="green" />
      <stop offset="100%" stop-color="white" />
    </linearGradient>
  </defs>

  <circle cx="15" cy="5" r="4" fill="none"
          stroke="url(#myGradient)" />
</svg>
