The SVGMarkerElement
interface provides access to the properties of <marker>
elements, as well as methods to manipulate them. The <marker>
element defines the graphics used for drawing marks on a shape.
The following properties and methods all return, or act on the attributes of the <marker>
element represented by SVGMarkerElement
.
This interface also inherits properties from its parent, SVGElement
.
SVGMarkerElement.markerUnits
Read only
Returns an SVGAnimatedEnumeration
object, with one of the following values:
SVG_MARKERUNITS_UNKNOWN
which means that the markerUnits
attribute has a value other than the two predefined keywords.
SVG_MARKERUNITS_USERSPACEONUSE
which means that the markerUnits
attribute has the keyword value userSpaceOnUse
.
SVG_MARKERUNITS_STROKEWIDTH
which means that the markerUnits
attribute has the keyword value strokeWidth
.
SVGMarkerElement.markerWidth
Read only
Returns an SVGAnimatedLength
object containing the width of the <marker>
viewport.
SVGMarkerElement.markerHeight
Read only
Returns an SVGAnimatedLength
object containing the height of the <marker>
viewport.
SVGMarkerElement.orientType
Read only
Returns an SVGAnimatedEnumeration
object, with one of the following values:
SVG_MARKER_ORIENT_UNKNOWN
which means that the orient
attribute has a value other than the two predefined keywords.
SVG_MARKERUNITS_ORIENT_AUTO
which means that the orient
attribute has the keyword value auto
.
SVG_MARKERUNITS_ORIENT_ANGLE
which means that the orient
attribute has an <angle>
or <number>
value indicating the angle.
SVGMarkerElement.orientAngle
Read only
Returns an SVGAnimatedAngle
object containing the angle of the orient
attribute.
SVGMarkerElement.refX
Read only
Returns an SVGAnimatedLength
object containing the value of the refX
attribute of the <marker>
.
SVGMarkerElement.refY
Read only
Returns an SVGAnimatedLength
object containing the value of the refY
attribute of the <marker>
.
SVGMarkerElement.viewBox
Read only
Returns an SVGAnimatedRect
object containing an SVGRect
which contains the values set by the viewBox
attribute on the <marker>
.
SVGMarkerElement.preserveAspectRatio
Read only
Returns an SVGPreserveAspectRatio
object which contains the values set by the preserveAspectRatio
attribute on the <marker>
viewport.
This interface also inherits methods from its parent, SVGElement
.
SVGMarkerElement.setOrientToAuto()
Sets the value of the orient
attribute to auto
.
SVGMarkerElement.setOrientToAngle()
Sets the value of the orient
attribute to a specific angle value.
The following SVG will be referenced in the examples.
<svg id="svg" viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<defs>
<marker
id="arrow"
viewBox="0 0 10 10"
refX="5"
refY="5"
markerWidth="6"
markerHeight="6"
orient="90">
<path d="M 0 0 L 10 5 L 0 10 z" />
</marker>
</defs>
</svg>
Finding the Width of the Marker
The markerWidth
property returns an SVGAnimatedLength
which contains an SVGLength
with the value of the markerWidth
attribute.
let marker = document.getElementById("arrow");
console.log(marker.markerWidth.baseVal.value); // 6
Updating the Orientation Angle
In the following example the value of the orient
attribute is updated using setOrientToAngle()
using an SVGAngle
created using SVGElement.createSVGAngle()
.
let svg = document.getElementById("svg");
let marker = document.getElementById("arrow");
console.log(marker.orientAngle.baseVal.value); // value in SVG above - 90
let angle = svg.createSVGAngle();
angle.value = "110";
marker.setOrientToAngle(angle);
console.log(marker.orientAngle.baseVal.value); // new value - 110
