The svg icon elements should be children of the 22`iron-iconset-svg` element. Multiple icons should be given distinct id's. 23 24Using svg elements to create icons has a few advantages over traditional 25bitmap graphics like jpg or png. Icons that use svg are vector based so 26they are resolution independent and should look good on any device. They 27are stylable via css. Icons can be themed, colorized, and even animated. 28 29Example: 30 31 <iron-iconset-svg name="my-svg-icons" size="24"> 32 <svg> 33 <defs> 34 <g id="shape"> 35 <rect x="50" y="50" width="50" height="50" /> 36 <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="50" /> 37 </g> 38 </defs> 39 </svg> 40 </iron-iconset-svg> 41 42This will automatically register the icon set "my-svg-icons" to the iconset 43database. To use these icons from within another element, make a 44`iron-iconset` element and call the `byId` method 45to retrieve a given iconset. To apply a particular icon inside an 46element use the `applyIcon` method. For example: 47 48 iconset.applyIcon(iconNode, 'car'); 49 50 51
