Draw a hollow circle in SVG
MDragon00's answer works, but the inner and outer circles are not perfectly aligned (e.g. centered).
I modified his approach a little, using 4 semi-circle arcs (2 outer and 2 inner in reversed direction) to get the alignment exactly right.
<svg width="100" height="100">
<path d="M 50 10 A 40 40 0 1 0 50 90 A 40 40 0 1 0 50 10 Z M 50 30 A 20 20 0 1 1 50 70 A 20 20 0 1 1 50 30 Z" fill="#0000dd" stroke="#00aaff" stroke-width="3" />
</svg>
<!--
Using this path definition as d:
M centerX (centerY-outerRadius)
A outerRadius outerRadius 0 1 0 centerX (centerY+outerRadius)
A outerRadius outerRadius 0 1 0 centerX (centerY-outerRadius)
Z
M centerX (centerY-innerRadius)
A innerRadius innerRadius 0 1 1 centerX (centerY+innerRadius)
A innerRadius innerRadius 0 1 1 centerX (centerY-innerRadius)
Z
-->
Just use fill="none"
and then only the stroke
(outline) will be drawn.
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
<circle cx="100" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="2" fill="none" />
</svg>
Or this if you want two colours:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
<circle cx="100" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="none" />
<circle cx="100" cy="50" r="39" stroke="red" stroke-width="2" fill="none" />
</svg>
