Syntax:

      stroke-width="Width of the stroke"
      stroke-linecap="Ending style to a stroke"
      stroke-dasharray="make a dashed stroke">

Property value:

stroke: set the stroke to an element.
stroke-width: set the stroke width of an element.
stroke-linecap: sets the ending stroke style.
stroke-dasharrray: set the style os a stroke such as dashed stroke.

Few examples are given below:
