SVG rounded corner

Question

I have the following SVG:

<g>
  <path id="k9ffd8001" d="M64.5 45.5 82.5 45.5 82.5 64.5 64.5 64.5 z" stroke="#808600" stroke-width="0" transform="rotate(0 0 0)" stroke-linecap="square" stroke-linejoin="round" fill-opacity="1" stroke-opacity="1" fill="#a0a700"></path>
  <path id="kb8000001" d="M64.5 45.5 82.5 45.5 82.5 64.5 64.5 64.5 z" stroke="#808600" stroke-width="0" transform="rotate(0 0 0)" stroke-linecap="square" stroke-linejoin="round" fill-opacity="1" stroke-opacity="1" fill="url(#k9ffb0001)"></path>
</g>

I want to get a CSS-like border-top-right-radius and border-top-bottom-radius effect.

How can I achieve that rounded corner effect?

Answer 1

Not sure why nobody posted an actual SVG answer. Here is an SVG rectangle with rounded corners (radius 3) on the top:

<svg:path d="M0,0 L0,27 A3,3 0 0,0 3,30 L7,30 A3,3 0 0,0 10,27 L10,0 Z" />

This is a Move To (M), Line To (L), Arc To (A), Line To (L), Arc To (A), Line To (L), Close Path (Z).

The comma-delimited numbers are absolute coordinates. The arcs are defined with additional parameters specifying the radius and type of arc. This could also be accomplished with relative coordinates (use lower-case letters for L and A).

The complete reference for those commands is on the W3C SVG Paths page, and additional reference material on SVG paths can be found in this article.

Answer 2

I know that's late to answer this but for SO sake, here is how you can create a rounder rectangle with SVG Path:

<path d="M100,100 h200 a20,20 0 0 1 20,20 v200 a20,20 0 0 1 -20,20 h-200 a20,20 0 0 1 -20,-20 v-200 a20,20 0 0 1 20,-20 z" />

Explanation:

m100,100: move to point(100,100)

h200: draw a 200px horizontal line from where we are

a20,20 0 0 1 20,20: draw an arc with 20px X radius, 20px Y radius, clockwise, to a point with 20px difference in X and Y axis

v200: draw a 200px vertical line from where we are

a20,20 0 0 1 -20,20: draw an arc with 20px X and Y radius, clockwise, to a point with -20px difference in X and 20px difference in Y axis

h-200: draw a -200px horizontal line from where we are

a20,20 0 0 1 -20,-20: draw an arc with 20px X and Y radius, clockwise, to a point with -20px difference in X and -20px difference in Y axis

v-200: draw a -200px vertical line from where we are

a20,20 0 0 1 20,-20: draw an arc with 20px X and Y radius, clockwise, to a point with 20px difference in X and -20px difference in Y axis

z: close the path

<svg width="440" height="440">
  <path d="M100,100 h200 a20,20 0 0 1 20,20 v200 a20,20 0 0 1 -20,20 h-200 a20,20 0 0 1 -20,-20 v-200 a20,20 0 0 1 20,-20 z" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" />
</svg>

Answer 3

As referenced in my answer to Applying rounded corners to paths/polygons, I have written a routine in javascript for generically rounding corners of SVG paths, with examples, here: http://plnkr.co/edit/kGnGGyoOCKil02k04snu.

It will work independently from any stroke effects you may have. To use, include the rounding.js file from the Plnkr and call the function like so:

roundPathCorners(pathString, radius, useFractionalRadius)

The result will be the rounded path.

The results look like this:

Answer 4

I'd also consider using a plain old <rect> which provides the rx and ry attributes

MDN SVG docs <- note the second drawn rect element

Answer 5

Here are some paths for tabs:

https://codepen.io/mochime/pen/VxxzMW

<!-- left tab -->
<div>
  <svg width="60" height="60">
    <path d="M10,10 
             a10 10 0 0 1 10 -10
             h 50   
             v 47
             h -50
             a10 10 0 0 1 -10 -10
             z"
      fill="#ff3600"></path>
  </svg>
</div>

<!-- right tab -->
<div>
  <svg width="60" height="60">
    <path d="M10 0   
             h 40
             a10 10 0 0 1 10 10
             v 27
             a10 10 0 0 1 -10 10
             h -40
             z"
      fill="#ff3600"></path>
  </svg>
</div>

<!-- tab tab :) -->
<div>
  <svg width="60" height="60">
    <path d="M10,40 
             v -30
             a10 10 0 0 1 10 -10
             h 30
             a10 10 0 0 1 10 10
             v 30
             z"
      fill="#ff3600"></path>
  </svg>
</div>

The other answers explained the mechanics. I especially liked hossein-maktoobian's answer.

The paths in the pen do the brunt of the work, the values can be modified to suite whatever desired dimensions.

Answer 6

You have explicitly set your stroke-linejoin to round but your stroke-width to 0, so of course you're not going to see rounded corners if you have no stroke to round.

Here's a modified example with rounded corners made through strokes:
http://jsfiddle.net/8uxqK/1/

<path d="M64.5 45.5 82.5 45.5 82.5 64.5 64.5 64.5 z"
      stroke-width="5"
      stroke-linejoin="round"
      stroke="#808600"
      fill="#a0a700" />

Otherwise—if you need an actual rounded shape fill and not just a rounded fatty stroke—you must do what @Jlange says and make an actual rounded shape.
