<svg viewBox="0 0 20 10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <!-- Simple color stroke -->
  <circle cx="5" cy="5" r="4" fill="none" stroke="green" />

  <!-- Stroke a circle with a gradient -->
  <defs>
    <linearGradient id="myGradient">
      <stop offset="0%" stop-color="green" />
      <stop offset="100%" stop-color="white" />
    </linearGradient>
  </defs>
