SVGPathElement

The SVGPathElement interface corresponds to the <path> element.

Note: In SVG 2 the getPathSegAtLength() and createSVGPathSeg* methods were removed and the pathLength property and the getTotalLength() and getPointAtLength() methods were moved to SVGGeometryElement.

Properties

This interface also inherits properties from its parent, SVGGeometryElement.

SVGPathElement.pathLength: An SVGAnimatedNumber corresponding to the pathLength attribute of the given <path> element.

Note: In SVG 2 this property was moved to the SVGGeometryElement interface, from which this interface inherits it.

Methods

This interface also inherits methods from its parent, SVGGeometryElement.

SVGPathElement.getTotalLength(): Returns a float representing the computed value for the total length of the path using the browser's distance-along-a-path algorithm, as a distance in the current user coordinate system.

Note: In SVG 2 this method was moved to the SVGGeometryElement interface, from which this interface inherits it.
SVGPathElement.getPointAtLength(): Returns an SVGPoint representing the x and y coordinates in user space utilizing the browser's distance-along-a-path algorithm.

Note: In SVG 2 this method was moved to the SVGGeometryElement interface, from which this interface inherits it.
SVGPathElement.getPathSegAtLength(): Returns an unsigned long representing the index within the pathSegList utilizing the user agent's distance-along-a-path algorithm.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegClosePath(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegClosePath object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegMovetoAbs(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegMovetoAbs object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegMovetoRel(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegMovetoRel object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegLinetoAbs(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegLinetoAbs object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegLinetoRel(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegLinetoRel object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegCurvetoCubicAbs(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegCurvetoCubicAbs object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegCurvetoCubicRel(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegCurvetoCubicRel object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegCurvetoQuadraticAbs(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegCurvetoQuadraticAbs object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegCurvetoQuadraticRel(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegCurvetoQuadraticRel object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegArcAbs(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegArcAbs object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegArcRel(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegArcRel object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegLinetoHorizontalAbs(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegLinetoHorizontalAbs object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegLinetoHorizontalRel(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegLinetoHorizontalRel object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegLinetoVerticalAbs(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegLinetoVerticalAbs object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegLinetoVerticalRel(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegLinetoVerticalRel object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegCurvetoCubicSmoothAbs(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegCurvetoCubicSmoothAbs object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegCurvetoCubicSmoothRel(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegCurvetoCubicSmoothRel object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegCurvetoQuadraticSmoothAbs(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegCurvetoQuadraticSmoothAbs object.
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegCurvetoQuadraticSmoothRel(): Returns a stand-alone, parentless SVGPathSegCurvetoQuadraticSmoothRel object.
