This tutorial explains how to draw and combine the shapes available in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to construct an image of a telephone. Rectangles, circles, ellipses, lines, polylines, polygons and paths are explained; style attributes (which can be used to create gradient effects) are not covered. The SVG_Viewer plugin is required to display the sample graphics properly (http://www.xml.com/pub/r/SVG_Viewer_for_Windows/Macintosh)
