The <pattern>
SVG element defines a graphics object which can be redrawn at repeated x- and y-coordinate intervals ("tiled") to cover an area.
The <pattern>
is referenced by the fill
and/or stroke
attributes on other graphics elements to fill or stroke those elements with the referenced pattern.

Attributes
height
This attribute determines the height of the pattern tile. Value type: <length>; Default value: 0
; Animatable: yes
href
This attribute reference a template pattern that provides default values for the <pattern>
attributes. Value type: <URL>; Default value: none; Animatable: yes
patternContentUnits
This attribute defines the coordinate system for the contents of the <pattern>
. Value type: userSpaceOnUse
| objectBoundingBox
; Default value: userSpaceOnUse
; Animatable: yes
Note: This attribute has no effect if a viewBox
attribute is specified on the <pattern>
element.
patternTransform
This attribute contains the definition of an optional additional transformation from the pattern coordinate system onto the target coordinate system. Value type: <transform-list>; Default value: identity transform; Animatable: yes
patternUnits
This attribute defines the coordinate system for attributes x
, y
, width
, and height
. Value type: userSpaceOnUse
| objectBoundingBox
; Default value: objectBoundingBox
; Animatable: yes
preserveAspectRatio
This attribute defines how the SVG fragment must be deformed if it is embedded in a container with a different aspect ratio. Value type: (none
| xMinYMin
| xMidYMin
| xMaxYMin
| xMinYMid
| xMidYMid
| xMaxYMid
| xMinYMax
| xMidYMax
| xMaxYMax
) (meet
| slice
)?; Default value: xMidYMid meet
; Animatable: yes
viewBox
This attribute defines the bound of the SVG viewport for the pattern fragment. Value type: <list-of-numbers>; Default value: none; Animatable: yes
width
This attribute determines the width of the pattern tile. Value type: <length>; Default value: 0
; Animatable: yes
x
This attribute determines the x coordinate shift of the pattern tile. Value type: <length>; Default value: 0
; Animatable: yes
xlink:href
Deprecated
This attribute references a template pattern that provides default values for the <pattern>
attributes. Value type: <URL>; Default value: none; Animatable: yes
Note: For browsers implementing href
, if both href
and xlink:href
are set, xlink:href
will be ignored and only href
will be used.
y
This attribute determines the y coordinate shift of the pattern tile. Value type: <length>; Default value: 0
; Animatable: yes
This element implements the SVGPatternElement
interface.
