If I understand the question, then something like: <ellipse cx="100" cy="50" rx="25" ry="25" stroke="black" fill="white"/> <ellipse cx="100" cy="50" rx="15" ry="15" stroke="black" fill="white"/> <ellipse cx="100" cy="50" rx="5" ry="5" stroke="black" fill="white"/>
oughta work -- all ellipses have the same center (100,50); the later ones appear on top. If you really mean n circles (where n is, let's say, user-defined) then something a bit more complex might work if JavaScript is part of your arsenal: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="100%" height="100%" onload="startup(evt)" > <script> <![CDATA[ var q; function startup(evt){ q=evt.getTarget().getOwnerDocument() //q is now the SVG document itself B=q.getElementById("bunch") n=10 for (i=0;i<n;i++){ newone=q.createElement("ellipse"); newone.setAttribute("cx", 300); newone.setAttribute("cy", 200); newone.setAttribute("rx", 10*(n-i)); newone.setAttribute("ry", 10*(n-i)); newone.setAttribute("opacity",.5); newone.setAttribute("fill", "white"); newone.setAttribute("stroke", "black"); newone.setAttribute("stroke-width", "2"); B.appendChild(newone); } } //]]> </script> <!--a bull's-eye of n concentric circles--> <g id="bunch"></g> </svg> The above puts an empty group on a page and then when the page loads populates that group with circles of vanishing radii.
