Bring compact SVG path data straight into a Canvas composition.

Try it

Click the coral heart for a tiny color pulse.

What to learn

Render an SVG d string without an SVG element.
Style the resulting shape with Canvas fill and stroke properties.

Integration boundaries

Path data is parsed by the browser’s Path2D implementation.
Use a group when imported path coordinates need translation or scale.

This is a Pibbl Canvas example. Its mount owns its runtime resources; call its controller’s dispose method when removing it. The preview starts automatically unless reduced motion is enabled; Stop disposes the mount. Preserve the source’s logical canvas size and aspect ratio. Native HTML is not captured by Canvas filters.

SvgPath

Complete source

Host setup for this source: use a canvas with width 720 and height 420, compile with jsx: "react-jsx" and jsxImportSource: "@pibbl/core", import its default mount, and call const controller = mount(canvas) after attaching the canvas. Call controller.dispose() before removing it.
