Tips for Adding Color to an SVG Image Created with Coordinates

For a programming project, I am attempting to assign colors to all the countries in Europe. I have obtained the coordinates for these countries from a Wikipedia page that can be found here.

As an example, let's consider Northern Ireland and its corresponding coordinates:

<path xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="landxx gb eu" d="M 1260.508,337.032 C 1261.121,336.062 1262.494,336.081 1263.388,335.52 1263.057,335.277 1262.743,335.012 1262.448,334.727 1264.3,335.304 1265.011,333.238 1265.893,332.227 1266.732,331.266 1268.474,332.53 1268.718,330.767 1270.35,331.522 1272.386,329.639 1274.016,330.766 1274.677,331.222 1275.068,332.288 1275.375,332.975 1275.319,332.851 1276.594,334.325 1276.56,334.063 1276.597,334.341 1275.171,335.037 1274.978,335.231 1275.478,335.181 1276.972,334.543 1277.301,335.202 1277.635,335.87 1278.28,337.23 1277.138,337.536 1277.316,336.828 1277.055,335.884 1276.128,336.096 1276.687,336.427 1276.615,337.009 1276.268,337.464 1276.561,337.31 1276.811,337.331 1277.018,337.527 1277.091,338.02 1275.965,338.658 1275.586,338.698 1274.608,338.801 1274.61,340.437 1273.42,340.084 1272.419,339.787 1272.235,339.475 1271.382,340.035 1270.657,340.511 1269.467,340.023 1269.788,339.049 1269.388,339.07 1266.639,336.003 1266.454,337.971 1266.126,341.45 1261.861,338.159 1260.508,337.032" id="path2690"/>

In order to color this country using a separate CSS file, my initial approach was to reference the country's ID in the CSS like so:

#path2690 {
    fill: green;
}

Unfortunately, this method does not seem to be working as intended. What might be causing this issue?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Answer №1

One issue that arises is the inability to directly display a raw SVG <path> within an HTML file without it being enclosed within an <svg> element.

Even after making this adjustment, the displayed country appears very small and practically invisible regardless of its color. By assigning a viewBox attribute of viewBox="1415 390 30 30" to the <svg> element, you can then view the image clearly. Additionally, modifying the color using CSS will reflect these changes in the image.
