# Output Templates

Victor renders its content using the :default template.

If you wish to use another template, you can either use one of the built-in templates (:default or :minimal), or provide your own:

svg = Victor::SVG.new template: :minimal
svg = Victor::SVG.new template: 'path/to/template.svg'

See the templates folder for an understanding of how templates are structured.

Templates can also be provided when rendering or saving the output:

svg.save 'filename', template: :minimal
svg.render template: :minimal

By default, the generated SVGs will have a newline glue between the elements. You can change this (for example, to an empty string) if the default newlines are not appropriate for your use case.

svg = Victor::SVG.new glue: ''

The glue can also be provided when rendering or saving the output:

svg.save 'filename', glue: ''
svg.render glue: ''
