css property

`marker-end` CSS property

View on MDN ↗

The marker-end CSS property points to a marker that will be drawn on the last vertex of the element’s path; that is, at its ending vertex. The marker must have been defined using an SVG <marker> element, and can only be referenced with a &lt;url&gt; value. The value of the CSS property overrides any values of the marker-end attribute in the SVG.

For many marker-supporting shapes, the first and last vertices are the same point: for example, the top left corner of a <rect>. In such shapes, if both the first and last markers are defined, two markers will be drawn at that point, though they may not face the same direction.

[!NOTE] The marker-end property will only have an effect for elements that can use SVG markers. See marker-end for a list.

Syntax

marker-end: none;
marker-end: url("markers.svg#arrow");

/* Global values */
marker-end: inherit;
marker-end: initial;
marker-end: revert;
marker-end: revert-layer;
marker-end: unset;

Values

  • none

    • : This means no marker will be drawn at the last vertex of the element’s path.

  • <marker-ref>

    • : A &lt;url&gt; that refers to a marker defined by an SVG <marker> element, to be drawn at the last vertex of the element’s path. If the URL reference is invalid, no marker will be drawn at the path’s last vertex.
