SVG Wave Generator
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
SVG Wave Generator creates a waveform with an SVG path to be used as a section limiter or background. The curve is usually formed by the C command for the Bezier cubic or Q for the Bezier quadratic, and then closed down to fill in the color. With the right viewBox and preserveAspectRatio, the waves remain responsive across the screen width.
Key points
- The path of the wave uses the curve C or Q
- The control point determines the height and slope of the wave
- Close the path down so the area can be filled
- ViewBox makes coordinates flexible
- PreserveAspectRatio" makes the wave stretch along the width
