Category:SVG simplification techniques

Different techniques in coding SVG are very helpful for keeping code straight and simple.
Often the use of two or more of these techniques helps for good results.

For the simplification technique clipping, see the explanations in SVG simplified Coats of Arms
00 and some examples in Valid SVG created with Inkscape-hand-replaced-CoA (e.g. , , ).
As mentioned there, clipping does not need the xmlns:xlink namespace definition, only cloning needs the xmlns:xlink namespace definition.

The definition of a fill pattern can be a useful alternative to the definition of a clipping area, (e.g. , ).

This category should only contain other categories. Galleries should be in the corresponding categories instead. Files should be in a parent or subcategory.

See template {{SimplSVG}} parameter #5 to #9 for categorizing:
