Since these files are vector art, they can be resized without pixelation. The following is an Svg instance displaying the FlatRedBall logo. Source SVG:

### Source File The Source File variable controls the lottie animation displayed. This value can be set and changed just like source files on other elements such as a .png on a Sprite. ### Svg Width and Height Width and Height values can be set on an Svg file just any other Gum element. Unlike rasterized objects such as Sprites, Svgs use Vector art so they can be resized and still retain crisp edges and details.

Resized SVG maintains crisp edges when resized

Svgs are still rasterized in Gum, so they display pixels when the view is zoomed in, especially if the Svg has a small Width or Height.

### Maintain File Aspect Ratio Width and Height Svgs support the **Maintain File Aspect Ratio Width** and **Maintain File Aspect Ratio Height** units. For more information, see the [Width Units](/gum/gum-tool/gum-elements/general-properties/width-units.md#maintain-file-aspect-ratio-width) and [Height Units](/gum/gum-tool/gum-elements/general-properties/height-units.md#maintain-file-aspect-ratio-height) page. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.flatredball.com/gum/gum-tool/gum-elements/skia-standard-elements/svg.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
