x1

For the <line> element, this attribute define the x-axis coordinate of the start of the line. If the attribute is not specified, the effect is as if a value of 0 were specified.

For the <linearGradient> element, this attribute define the x-axis coordinate of the start of the vector gradient onto which the <stop> elements are mapped. If the attribute is not specified, the effect is as if a value of 0% were specified.

Usage context

<coordinate>

A <coordinate> is a length in the user coordinate system that is the given distance from the origin of the user coordinate system along the relevant axis (the x-axis for X coordinates, the y-axis for Y coordinates). Its syntax is the same as that for <length>.

Within the SVG DOM, a <coordinate> is represented as an SVGLength or an SVGAnimatedLength.

Example

The x1 attribute on the <line> element

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<svg width="120" height="120" 
     viewPort="0 0 120 120" version="1.1"
     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

    <line x1="10" 
          y1="10" x2="60" y2="110"
          stroke="black" />

	<line x1="60" 
          y1="10" x2="60" y2="110"
          stroke="black" />

    <line x1="110" 
          y1="10" x2="60" y2="110"
          stroke="black" />
</svg>
