<div>{{SVGRefElem}}</div>

<p>The <strong><code>polyline</code></strong> element is an SVG basic shape that creates straight lines connecting several points. Typically a <code>polyline</code> is used to create open shapes as the last point doesn't have to be connected to the first point. For closed shapes see the {{SVGElement("polygon")}} element.</p>
