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.

Instance properties

This interface inherits properties from its parent, SVGGeometryElement.

• pathLength Read only
  • : This property reflects the pathLength attribute.

Instance methods

This interface also inherits methods from its parent, SVGGeometryElement.

• getPathData() Experimental
  • : Returns the sequence of path segments that corresponds to the path data, optionally normalizing the values and segment types.
• getPointAtLength()
  • : Returns the point at a given distance along the path.
• getTotalLength()
  • : Returns the user agent’s computed value for the total length of the path in user units.
• setPathData() Experimental
  • : Sets the sequence of path segments as the new path data.
• getPathSegmentAtLength() Experimental
  • : Returns the segment at a given distance along the path.
