SVG.ellipse

Synopsis

Creates SVG ellipse elements

---

Description

The <ellipse> element is an SVG basic shape, used to create ellipses based on a center coordinate, and both their x and y radius.

Note: Ellipses are unable to specify the exact orientation of the ellipse (if, for example, you wanted to draw an ellipse tilted at a 45 degree angle), but it can be rotated by using the transform attribute.

Id

The id attribute assigns a unique name to an element.

You can use this attribute with any SVG element.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

Lang

The lang attribute specifies the primary language used in contents and attributes containing text content of particular elements.

There is also an xml:lang attribute (with namespace). If both of them are defined, the one with namespace is used and the one without is ignored.

In SVG 1.1 there was a lang attribute defined with a different meaning and only applying to glyph elements. That attribute specified a list of languages according to . The glyph was meant to be used if the xml:lang attribute exactly matched one of the languages given in the value of this parameter, or if the xml:lang attribute exactly equaled a prefix of one of the languages given in the value of this parameter such that the first tag character following the prefix was “-“.

You can use this attribute with any SVG element.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

Tabindex

The tabindex attribute allows you to control whether an element is focusable and to define the relative order of the element for the purposes of sequential focus navigation.

You can use this attribute with any SVG element.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

XmlBase

The xml:base attribute specifies a base IRI other than the base IRI of the document or external entity.

You can use this attribute with any SVG element.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

XmlLang

The xml:lang attribute specifies the primary language used in contents and attributes containing text content of particular elements.

It is a universal attribute allowed in all XML dialects to mark up the natural human language that an element contains.

There is also a lang attribute (without namespace). If both of them are defined, the one with namespace is used and the one without is ignored.

You can use this attribute with any SVG element.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

XmlSpace

SVG supports the built-in XML xml:space attribute to handle whitespace characters inside elements. Child elements inside an element may also have an xml:space attribute that overrides the parent’s one.

Note: Instead of using the xml:space attribute, use the white-space CSS property.

This attribute influences how browsers parse text content and therefore changes the way the DOM is built. Therefore, changing this attribute’s value through the DOM API may have no effect.

You can use this attribute with any SVG element.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

Class

« SVG Attribute reference home

Assigns a class name or set of class names to an element. You may assign the same class name or names to any number of elements, however, multiple class names must be separated by whitespace characters.

An element’s class name serves two key roles:

• As a style sheet selector, for when an author assigns style information to a set of elements.
• For general use by the browser.

You can use this class to style SVG content using CSS.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

Style

The style attribute allows to style an element using CSS declarations. It functions identically to the style attribute in HTML.

You can use this attribute with any SVG element.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

RequiredFeatures

The requiredFeatures attribute takes a list of feature strings, with the individual strings separated by white space. It determines whether or not all of the named features are supported by the browser; if all of them are supported, the attribute evaluates to true end the element is rendered; otherwise, the attribute evaluates to false and the current element and its children are skipped and thus will not be rendered. This provides a way to design SVG that gracefully falls back when features aren’t available.

If the attribute is not present, then its implicit evaluated value is true. If a null string or empty string value is given to attribute requiredFeatures, the attribute is evaluate to false.

requiredFeatures is often used in conjunction with the switch element. If requiredFeatures is used in other situations, it represents a simple switch on the given element whether to render the element or not.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

SystemLanguage

The systemLanguage attribute represents a list of supported language tags. This list is matched against the language defined in the user preferences.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

AlignmentBaseline

The alignment-baseline attribute specifies how an object is aligned with respect to its parent. This property specifies which baseline of this element is to be aligned with the corresponding baseline of the parent. For example, this allows alphabetic baselines in Roman text to stay aligned across font size changes. It defaults to the baseline with the same name as the computed value of the alignment-baseline property.

Note: As a presentation attribute alignment-baseline can be used as a CSS property.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

BaselineShift

The baseline-shift attribute allows repositioning of the dominant-baseline relative to the dominant-baseline of the parent text content element. The shifted object might be a sub- or superscript.

Note: As a presentation attribute baseline-shift can be used as a CSS property.

Note: This property is going to be deprecated and authors are advised to use vertical-align instead.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

Clip

The clip attribute is a presentation attribute defining the visible region of an element.

This attribute has the same parameter values as defined for the . Unitless values, which indicate current user coordinates, are permitted on the coordinate values on the rect(). The value of auto defines a clipping path along the bounds of the viewport created by the given element.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

ClipPath

The clip-path presentation attribute defines or associates a clipping path with the element it is related to.

Note: As a presentation attribute clip-path can be used as a CSS property.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

ClipRule

« SVG Attribute reference home

The clip-rule attribute only applies to graphics elements that are contained within a clipPath element. The clip-rule attribute basically works as the fill-rule attribute, except that it applies to clipPath definitions.

The following fragment of code will cause an evenodd clipping rule to be applied to the clipping path because clip-rule is specified on the path element that defines the clipping shape:

<g>
<clipPath id="MyClip">
<path d="..." clip-rule="evenodd" />
</clipPath>
<rect clip-path="url(#MyClip)" ... />
</g>

whereas the following fragment of code will not cause an evenodd clipping rule to be applied because the clip-rule is specified on the referencing element, not on the object defining the clipping shape:

<g>
<clipPath id="MyClip">
<path d="..." />
</clipPath>
<rect clip-path="url(#MyClip)" clip-rule="evenodd" ... />
</g>

As a presentation attribute, it also can be used as a property directly inside a CSS stylesheet

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

Color

The color attribute is used to provide a potential indirect value, currentcolor, for the fill, stroke, stop-color, flood-color, and lighting-color attributes.

Note: As a presentation attribute, color can be used as a CSS property. See CSS color for further information.

As a presentation attribute, it can be applied to any element, but as noted above, it has no direct effect on SVG elements.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

ColorInterpolation

The color-interpolation attribute specifies the color space for gradient interpolations, color animations, and alpha compositing.

Note: For filter effects, the color-interpolation-filters property controls which color space is used.

The color-interpolation property chooses between color operations occurring in the sRGB color space or in a (light energy linear) linearized RGB color space. Having chosen the appropriate color space, component-wise linear interpolation is used.

When a child element is blended into a background, the value of the color-interpolation property on the child determines the type of blending, not the value of the color-interpolation on the parent. For gradients which make use of the href or the deprecated xlink:href attribute to reference another gradient, the gradient uses the property’s value from the gradient element which is directly referenced by the fill or stroke property. When animating colors, color interpolation is performed according to the value of the color-interpolation property on the element being animated.

Note: As a presentation attribute, color-interpolation can be used as a CSS property.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

ColorInterpolationFilters

The color-interpolation-filters attribute specifies the color space for imaging operations performed via filter effects.

Note: This property just has an affect on filter operations. Therefore, it has no effect on filter primitives like feOffset, feImage, feTile or feFlood.

color-interpolation-filters has a different initial value than color-interpolation. color-interpolation-filters has an initial value of linearRGB, whereas color-interpolation has an initial value of sRGB. Thus, in the default case, filter effects operations occur in the linearRGB color space, whereas all other color interpolations occur by default in the sRGB color space.

It has no affect on filter functions, which operate in the sRGB color space.

Note: As a presentation attribute, color-interpolation-filters can be used as a CSS property.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

ColorProfile

The color-profile attribute is used to define which color profile a raster image included through the image element should use.

Note: As a presentation attribute, color-profile can be used as a CSS property.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

Cursor

SVG Attribute reference home

The cursor attribute specifies the mouse cursor displayed when the mouse pointer is over an element.

This attribute behaves exactly like the property except that if the browser supports the cursor element, you should be able to use it with the <funciri> notation.

As a presentation attribute, it also can be used as a property directly inside a CSS stylesheet, see for further information.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

Direction

The direction attribute specifies the inline-base direction of a text or tspan element. It defines the start and end points of a line of text as used by the text-anchor and inline-size properties. It also may affect the direction in which characters are positioned if the unicode-bidi property’s value is either embed or bidi-override.

It applies only to glyphs oriented perpendicular to the inline-base direction, which includes the usual case of horizontally-oriented Latin or Arabic text and the case of narrow-cell Latin or Arabic characters rotated 90 degrees clockwise relative to a top-to-bottom inline-base direction.

In many cases, the bidirectional Unicode algorithm produces the desired result automatically, so this attribute doesn’t need to be specified in those cases. For other cases, such as when using right-to-left languages, it may be sufficient to add the direction attribute to the outermost svg element, and allow that direction to inherit to all text elements:

Note: As a presentation attribute, direction can be used as a CSS property. See for further information.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

Display

The display attribute lets you control the rendering of graphical or container elements.

A value of display="none" indicates that the given element and its children will not be rendered. Any value other than none or inherit indicates that the given element will be rendered by the browser.

When applied to a container element, setting display to none causes the container and all of its children to be invisible; thus, it acts on groups of elements as a group. This means that any child of an element with display="none" will never be rendered even if the child has a value for display other than none.

When the display attribute is set to none, then the given element does not become part of the rendering tree. It has implications for the tspan and tref elements, event processing, for bounding box calculations and for calculation of clipping paths:

• If display is set to none on a tspan or tref element, then the text string is ignored for the purposes of text layout.
• Regarding events, if display is set to none, the element receives no events.
• The geometry of a graphics element with display set to none is not included in bounding box and clipping paths calculations.

The display attribute only affects the direct rendering of a given element, whereas it does not prevent elements from being referenced by other elements. For example, setting it to none on a path element will prevent that element from getting rendered directly onto the canvas, but the path element can still be referenced by a textPath element; furthermore, its geometry will be used in text-on-a-path processing even if the path has a display value of none.

This attribute also affects direct rendering into offscreen canvases, such as occurs with masks or clip paths. Thus, setting display="none" on a child of a mask will prevent the given child element from being rendered as part of the mask. Similarly, setting display="none" on a child of a clipPath element will prevent the given child element from contributing to the clipping path.

Note: As a presentation attribute, display can be used as a CSS property. See for further information.

You can use this attribute with any SVG element.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

DominantBaseline

The dominant-baseline attribute specifies the dominant baseline, which is the baseline used to align the box’s text and inline-level contents. It also indicates the default alignment baseline of any boxes participating in baseline alignment in the box’s alignment context.

It is used to determine or re-determine a scaled-baseline-table. A scaled-baseline-table is a compound value with three components:

1. a baseline-identifier for the dominant-baseline,
2. a baseline-table, and
3. a baseline-table font-size.

Some values of the property re-determine all three values. Others only re-establish the baseline-table font-size. When the initial value, auto, would give an undesired result, this property can be used to explicitly set the desired scaled-baseline-table.

If there is no baseline table in the nominal font, or if the baseline table lacks an entry for the desired baseline, then the browser may use heuristics to determine the position of the desired baseline.

Note: As a presentation attribute, dominant-baseline can be used as a CSS property.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

EnableBackground

The enable-background attribute specifies how the accumulation of the background image is managed.

Note: As a presentation attribute, enable-background can be used as a CSS property.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

Fill

The fill attribute has two different meanings. For shapes and text it’s a presentation attribute that defines the color (or any SVG paint servers like gradients or patterns) used to paint the element; for animation it defines the final state of the animation.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

FillOpacity

The font-weight attribute refers to the boldness or lightness of the glyphs used to render the text, relative to other fonts in the same font family.

Note: As a presentation attribute, font-weight can be used as a CSS property. See the property for more information.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

GlyphOrientationHorizontal

The glyph-orientation-horizontal attribute affects the amount that the current text position advances as each glyph is rendered.

When the reference orientation direction is horizontal and the glyph-orientation-horizontal results in an orientation angle that is a multiple of 180 degrees, then the current text position is incremented according to the horizontal metrics of the glyph. Otherwise, if the value of this attribute is not a multiple of 180 degrees, then the current text position is incremented according to the vertical metrics of the glyph.

This attribute is applied only to text written in a horizontal writing-mode.

Note: As a presentation attribute, glyph-orientation-horizontal can be used as a CSS property.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

GlyphOrientationVertical

The glyph-orientation-vertical attribute affects the amount that the current text position advances as each glyph is rendered.

When the inline-progression-direction is vertical and the glyph-orientation-vertical results in an orientation angle that is a multiple of 180 degrees, then the current text position is incremented according to the vertical metrics of the glyph. Otherwise, if the angle is not a multiple of 180 degrees, then the current text position is incremented according to the horizontal metrics of the glyph.

This attribute is applied only to text written in a vertical writing-mode.

Note: As a presentation attribute, glyph-orientation-vertical can be used as a CSS property.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput

ImageRendering

The image-rendering attribute provides a hint to the browser about how to make speed vs. quality tradeoffs as it performs image processing.

The resampling is always done in a truecolor (e.g., 24-bit) color space even if the original data and/or the target device is indexed color.

Note: As a presentation attribute, image-rendering can be used as a CSS property. See the property for more information.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

Kerning

The kerning attribute indicates whether the spacing between should be adjusted based on kerning tables that are included in the relevant font (i.e., enable auto-kerning) or instead disable auto-kerning and set the spacing between them to a specific length (typically, zero).

Note: As a presentation attribute kerning can be used as a CSS property. In CSS the property is called font-kerning, though.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

LetterSpacing

The letter-spacing attribute controls spacing between text characters, in addition to any spacing from the kerning attribute.

If the attribute value is a unitless number (like 128), the browser processes it as a length in the current user coordinate system.

If the attribute value has a unit identifier, such as .25em or 1%, then the browser converts the <length> into its corresponding value in the current user coordinate system.

Note: As a presentation attribute, letter-spacing can be used as a CSS property. See the property for more information.

MarkerEnd

The marker-end attribute defines the arrowhead or polymarker that will be drawn at the final vertex of the given shape.

For all shape elements, except polyline and path, the last vertex is the same as the first vertex. In this case, if the value of marker-start and marker-end are both not none, then two markers will be rendered on that final vertex. For <path> elements, for each closed subpath, the last vertex is the same as the first vertex. marker-end is only rendered on the final vertex of the path data.

Note: As a presentation attribute, marker-end can be used as a CSS property.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

MarkerMid

The marker-mid attribute defines the arrowhead or polymarker that will be drawn at all interior vertices of the given shape.

Note: As a presentation attribute, marker-mid can be used as a CSS property.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

MarkerStart

The marker-start attribute defines the arrowhead or polymarker that will be drawn at the first vertex of the given shape.

For all shape elements, except polyline and path, the last vertex is the same as the first vertex. In this case, if the value of marker-start and marker-end are both not none, then two markers will be rendered on that final vertex. For <path> elements, for each closed subpath, the last vertex is the same as the first vertex. marker-start is only rendered on the first vertex of the path data.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

Overflow

The overflow attribute sets what to do when an element’s content is too big to fit in its block formatting context. This feature is not widely implemented yet.

This attribute has the same parameter values and meaning as the , however, the following additional points apply:

• If it has a value of visible, the attribute has no effect (i.e., a clipping rectangle is not created).
• If the overflow property has the value hidden or scroll, a clip of the exact size of the SVG viewport is applied.
• When scroll is specified on an svg element, a scrollbar or panner is normally shown for the SVG viewport whether or not any of its content is clipped.
• Within SVG content, the value auto implies that all rendered content for child elements must be visible, either through a scrolling mechanism, or by rendering with no clip.

Note: Although the initial value for overflow is auto, it is overwritten in the User Agent style sheet for the svg element when it is not the root element of a stand-alone document, the pattern element, and the marker element to be hidden by default.

Note: As a presentation attribute, overflow can be used as a CSS property. See the CSS overflow property for more information.

[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

StopColor

The stop-color attribute indicates what color to use at a gradient stop.

Note: With respect to gradients, SVG treats the transparent keyword differently than CSS. SVG does not calculate gradients in pre-multiplied space, so transparent really means transparent black. So, specifying a stop-color with the value transparent is equivalent to specifying a stop-color with the value black and a stop-opacity with the value 0.

Note: As a presentation attribute, stop-color can be used as a CSS property.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

StopOpacity

The stop-opacity attribute defines the opacity of a given color gradient stop.

The opacity value used for the gradient calculation is the product of the value of stop-opacity and the opacity of the value of the stop-color attribute. For stop-color values that don’t include explicit opacity information, the opacity is treated as 1.

Note: As a presentation attribute, stop-opacity can be used as a CSS property.

StrokeMiterlimit

The stroke-miterlimit attribute is a presentation attribute defining a limit on the ratio of the miter length to the stroke-width used to draw a miter join. When the limit is exceeded, the join is converted from a miter to a bevel.

Note: As a presentation attribute stroke-miterlimit can be used as a CSS property.

StrokeOpacity

The stroke-opacity attribute is a presentation attribute defining the opacity of the paint server (color, gradient, pattern, etc.) applied to the stroke of a shape.

Note: As a presentation attribute stroke-opacity can be used as a CSS property.

TextAnchor

The text-anchor attribute is used to align (start-, middle- or end-alignment) a string of pre-formatted text or auto-wrapped text where the wrapping area is determined from the inline-size property relative to a given point.

This attribute is not applicable to other types of auto-wrapped text. For those cases you should use text-align. For multi-line text, the alignment takes place for each line.

The text-anchor attribute is applied to each individual text chunk within a given text element. Each text chunk has an initial current text position, which represents the point in the user coordinate system resulting from (depending on context) application of the x and y attributes on the <text> element, any x or y attribute values on a tspan or tref element assigned explicitly to the first rendered character in a text chunk, or determination of the initial current text position for a textPath element.

Note: As a presentation attribute, text-anchor can be used as a CSS property.

TextDecoration

The text-decoration attribute defines whether text is decorated with an underline, overline and/or strike-through. It is a shorthand for the text-decoration-line and text-decoration-style properties.

The fill and stroke of the text decoration are given by the fill and stroke of the text at the point where the text decoration is declared.

The paint order of the text decoration, i.e. the fill and stroke, is determined by the value of the paint-order attribute at the point where the text decoration is declared.

Note: As a presentation attribute, text-decoration can be used as a CSS property. See the property for more information.

TextRendering

The text-rendering attribute provides hints to the renderer about what tradeoffs to make when rendering text.

Note: As a presentation attribute, text-rendering can be used as a CSS property. See the property for more information.

Transform

The transform attribute defines a list of transform definitions that are applied to an element and the element’s children.

Note: As of SVG2, transform is a presentation attribute, meaning it can be used as a CSS property. However, be aware that there are some differences in syntax between the CSS property and the attribute. See the documentation for the CSS property transform for the specific syntax to use in that case.

You can use this attribute with any SVG element.

UnicodeBidi

The unicode-bidi attribute specifies how the accumulation of the background image is managed.

Note: As a presentation attribute, unicode-bidi can be used as a CSS property. See the CSS unicode-bidi property for more information.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

VectorEffect

The vector-effect property specifies the vector effect to use when drawing an object. Vector effects are applied before any of the other compositing operations, i.e. filters, masks and clips.

Note: As a presentation attribute, vector-effect can be used as a CSS property.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

Visibility

The visibility attribute lets you control the visibility of graphical elements. With a value of hidden or collapse the current graphics element is invisible.

Note: If the visibility attribute is set to hidden on a text element, then the text is invisible but still takes up space in text layout calculations.

Depending on the value of attribute pointer-events, graphics elements which have their visibility attribute set to hidden still might receive events.

Note: As a presentation attribute, visibility can be used as a CSS property. See the property for more information.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

WordSpacing

The word-spacing attribute specifies spacing behavior between words.

If a length is provided without a unit identifier (e.g. an unqualified number such as 128), the browser processes the <length> as a width value in the current user coordinate system.

If a <length> is provided with one of the unit identifiers (e.g. .25em or 1%), then the browser converts the <length> into a corresponding value in the current user coordinate system.

Note: As a presentation attribute, word-spacing can be used as a CSS property. See the property for more information.

Type	Required	Position	PipelineInput
[PSObject]	false	named	true (ByPropertyName)

WritingMode

The writing-mode attribute specifies whether the initial inline-progression-direction for a text element shall be left-to-right, right-to-left, or top-to-bottom. The writing-mode attribute applies only to text elements; the attribute is ignored for tspan, tref, and textPath sub-elements. (Note that the inline-progression-direction can change within a text element due to the Unicode bidirectional algorithm and properties direction and unicode-bidi.)

Note: As a presentation attribute, writing-mode can be used as a CSS property. See the CSS writing-mode property for more information.
