import panel as pn

pn.extension()

The SVG pane embeds an .svg image file in a panel if provided a local path, or will link to a remote image if provided a URL.

Parameters:

For details on other options for customizing the component see the layout and styling how-to guides.

• alt_text (str, default=None): alt text to add to the image tag. The alt text is shown when a user cannot load or display the image.

• embed (boolean, default=False): If given a URL to an image this determines whether the image will be embedded as base64 or merely linked to.

• fixed_aspect (boolean, default=True): Whether the aspect ratio of the image should be forced to be equal.

• link_url (str, default=None): A link URL to make the image clickable and link to some other website.

• encode (bool, default=True): Whether to base64 encode the SVG, when enabled SVG links may not work while disabling encoding will prevent image scaling from working.

• object (str or object): The svg file to display. Can be a string pointing to a local or remote file, or an object with a _repr_svg_ method.

• styles (dict): Dictionary specifying CSS styles

• target (str, default="_blank"): Where to open the document linked in the link_url.

---

The SVG pane can be pointed at any local or remote .svg file. If given a URL starting with http or https, the embed parameter determines whether the image will be embedded or linked to:

pn.pane.SVG('https://panel.holoviz.org/_static/logo_stacked.svg', link_url = "https://panel.holoviz.org", width=300)

We can scale the size of the image by setting a specific fixed width or height:

svg_pane = pn.pane.SVG('https://panel.holoviz.org/_static/logo_stacked.svg', width=150)
svg_pane

Like any other pane, the SVG pane can be updated by setting the object parameter:

svg_pane.object = "https://panel.holoviz.org/_static/jupyterlite.svg"

You can also use a responsive sizing_mode like 'stretch_width'.

pn.pane.SVG('https://assets.holoviz.org/panel/samples/svg_sample2.svg', sizing_mode='stretch_width')

Note that by default the aspect ratio of the image is fixed, to override this behavior set fixed_aspect=False or provide fixed width and height values.
