The stroke-width attribute is a presentation attribute defining the width of the stroke to be applied to the shape.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

Example

  <!-- Default stroke width: 1 -->
  <circle cx="5" cy="5" r="3" stroke="green" />

  <!-- Stroke width as a number -->
  <circle cx="15" cy="5" r="3" stroke="green"
          stroke-width="3" />

  <!-- Stroke width as a percentage -->
  <circle cx="25" cy="5" r="3" stroke="green"
          stroke-width="2%" />
</svg>

Usage notes

Default value 1px
Animatable Yes

Note: A percentage value is always computed as a percentage of the normalized viewBox diagonal length.
