<polyline>

Creates a set of connected straight line segments, using the points attribute.

• DOM object: SVGPolylineElement
• SVG2 spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/shapes.html#PolylineElement

The <polyline> element draws an open sequence of connected straight-line segments, given a list of vertex coordinates. Unlike <polygon>, a polyline is not automatically closed, so it typically renders as a chain of strokes rather than a filled region. (You can still set a fill, but the result is the path filled as if it were implicitly closed, which is rarely what you want - for closed shapes use <polygon>.)

Use <polyline> for line charts, breadcrumb trails, zig-zag connectors, or any multi-segment path that should remain open.

<polyline points="50,50 250,50 150,150 250,250 50,250" />
