clip
Deprecated
Avoid using this feature in new projects. SVG 2 omittted some parts of SVG 1.1 to "improv[e] the usability and precision of the language." This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.
Consider using the following features instead: SVG or @font-face.
The clip attribute defines the visible region of an element. You should use clip-path instead.
Note:
As a presentation attribute, clip also has a CSS property counterpart: clip. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.
This attribute has the same parameter values as defined for the CSS clip property. Unitless values, which indicate current user coordinates, are permitted on the coordinate values on the rect(). The value of auto defines a clipping path along the bounds of the viewport created by the given element.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
Example
<svg viewBox="0 0 20 10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<!-- Auto clipping -->
<svg x="0" width="10" height="10" clip="auto">
<circle cx="5" cy="5" r="4" stroke="green" />
</svg>
<!-- Rect(top, right, bottom, left) clipping -->
<svg x="10" width="10" height="10" clip="rect(1, 9, 8, 2)">
<circle cx="5" cy="5" r="4" stroke="green" />
</svg>
</svg>
Usage notes
| Value | auto | rect() |
|---|---|
| Default value | auto |
| Animatable | Yes |
The value auto defines a clipping path along the bounds of the viewport created by the given element. The value rect() defines a clipping rectangle following the following syntax: rect(<top>, <right>, <bottom>, <left>). The <top> and <bottom> values specify offsets from the top border edge of the element viewport, while <right> and <left> specify offsets from the left border edge of the element viewport.
