SVG allows creation of complex shapes using polygon and path elements. Polygon element is used to create closed shapes with multiple sides, defined by points attribute which contains pairs of x,y coordinates for each vertex. For example: creates a triangle.
Path element provides more flexibility, allowing creation of curves and arcs in addition to straight lines. It uses the ‘d’ attribute to define a series of commands and parameters that dictate shape’s outline. For instance, draws a square.
