>  **NOTE**
>
>  When using an SVG image, note that:
>
>  - The SVG image will not be drawn if the length or width of the **\<image>** component is infinity.
>
>  - If the image length and width are not specified in the SVG description, the SVG image fills the **\<image>** component area.
>
>  - If the image length and width are specified in the SVG description, the following rules are adopted to decide the final display effect:
>
>  1. If the **\<image>** component is too small to afford the SVG image, the SVG image is cropped and only its upper left part is displayed in the component.
>
>  2. If the **\<image>** component is big enough to afford the SVG image, this SVG image is displayed in the upper left corner of the component.
>
>  - For SVG images, only the following tags are included in the supported list: **svg**, **rect**, **circle**, **ellipse**, **path**, **line**, **polyline**, **polygon**, **animate**, **animateMotion**, and **animateTransform**.
