There is a gap between them.

These are the inline attributes...

This is the CSS for SVG

{
    width: 1.8rem;
    height: 1.8rem;
}

I am trying to understand why there is this space.

Answer №1

There are two issues to address: Firstly, your icon is not a perfect square and there is a noticeable gap on the right side of the icon.

To elaborate, when the <svg> is set at 1.8rem (32px in CodePen), the <g> is calculated at 30x27px. However, adjusting the height and width of <svg> to 3rem (48px in CodePen) results in a <g> dimension of 45x40.5px. Due to the forced square shape of <svg>, this discrepancy leads to the observed gap.

Secondly, it is important for the width of <g> to align with the width of <svg>. Unfortunately, the width of <g> consistently remains at 93.75% of the total width, rendering a 6.25% gap within the icon itself.
