Set repeat background for SVG?

Hi All,

I'm currently working a project and getting more involved with SVG, this is what I have so far...

<div style="height: 250px; position:absolute; width:100%; bottom:-0.5px;">
<svg height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="none" viewBox="0 0 100 100" width="100%" style="fill:#23282D;"><path d="M100 0 L0 100 L100 100" stroke-width="0"></path>
</svg>
</div>

This currently display a dark gray triangle from left to right across the width of the screen, I am trying to set a repeating background for the svg. I've tried setting an id, using <defs> and fill"url:e.c.t." but I can't manage to fill the image with a repeating background across the whole screen.

Any support would be much appriciated!

Thanks, Adam

Hi Adam, have you tried setting background-repeat: repeat in your css??

Hi Grace,

Yes I have, it changes the entire block to the texture I am after but I'm only after the shape to have a background.

Thanks,

Adam
