-svg.js is a JavaScript library for manipulating SVG.
+svg.js is a small JavaScript library for manipulating SVG.
 
 Have a look at [svgjs.com](http://svgjs.com) for a examples.

+## Usage
+
+### Create a SVG document
+
+Use the svg() function to create a SVG document within a given html element:
+
+```javascript
+var draw = svg('paper').size(300, 300);
+var rect = draw.rect({ width:100, height:100 }).attr({ fill: '#f06' });
+```
+The first argument can either be an id of the element or the selected element itself.
+This will generate the following output:
+
+```html
+<div id="paper">
+       <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="300" height="300">
+               <rect width="100" height="100" fill-color="#f06"></rect>
+       </svg>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Path elements
+
+```javascript
+var path = draw.path({ data: "M10,20L30,40" }).attr({ fill: '#9dffd3' });
+```
+
+For more details on path data strings, check SVG documentation:
+http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathData
