We can draw shapes in this world and they exist beyond the boundaries of the window. To be able to see them, we need to specify the **width** and **height** of the window:\n\n

\n<svg width=800 height=600>\n  <-- a whole world -->\n</svg>\n

\n* If you're interested in a deep-dive of the SVG coordinate system, I highly recommend Sara Soueidan's [extremely thorough blog series on the topic](https://www.sarasoueidan.com/blog/svg-coordinate-systems/). Note though, that in general the width and height attributes are more than enough for data visualization.\n

\n* For a complete list of SVG shapes, see MDN's [Basic Shapes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Tutorial/Basic_Shapes) article.\n
