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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` 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 optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. 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.
