Resizing SVG Elements to Match Container

To achieve the desired behavior, where an SVG element dynamically adjusts its size to match its parent container, it is necessary to establish an explicit relationship between the SVG and its container.

For most cases, setting the viewBox attribute on the SVG element is a viable solution. However, in scenarios where elements within the SVG have predefined fixed widths and heights, the viewBox approach may not suffice.

To maintain the aspect ratio and ensure the SVG element scales proportionately, it is recommended to use percentages for width and height attributes of all elements within the SVG. However, this may not be necessary for all cases.

In Inkscape, there is no direct feature to convert all fixed dimensions to percentages within an SVG document. Instead, it is necessary to manually adjust each element's width and height attributes individually.

A possible alternative approach is to use the transform attribute with scale factors. By setting the width and height of the container to fixed values and applying a transform attribute to the SVG, it is possible to scale the SVG to fit the container. However, this approach may affect the overall layout and responsiveness of the SVG.
