SVGTextContentElement
The SVGTextContentElement
interface is implemented by elements that support rendering child text content. It is inherited by various text-related interfaces, such as SVGTextElement
, SVGTSpanElement
, SVGTRefElement
, and SVGTextPathElement
.
Constants
Constant | Value | Description |
LENGTHADJUST_UNKNOWN | 0 | Some other value. |
LENGTHADJUST_SPACING | 1 | The spacing keyword. |
LENGTHADJUST_SPACINGANDGLYPHS | 2 | The spacingAndGlyphs keyword. |
Instance properties
This interface also inherits properties from its parent, SVGGraphicsElement
.
SVGTextContentElement.textLength
Read only-
An
SVGAnimatedLength
reflecting thetextLength
attribute of the given element. SVGTextContentElement.lengthAdjust
Read only-
An
SVGAnimatedEnumeration
reflecting thelengthAdjust
attribute of the given element. The numeric type values represent one of the constant values above.
Instance methods
This interface also inherits methods from its parent, SVGGraphicsElement
.
SVGTextContentElement.getNumberOfChars()
-
Returns a long representing the total number of addressable characters available for rendering within the current element, regardless of whether they will be rendered.
SVGTextContentElement.getComputedTextLength()
-
Returns a float representing the computed length for the text within the element.
SVGTextContentElement.getSubStringLength()
-
Returns a float representing the computed length of the formatted text advance distance for a substring of text within the element. Note that this method only accounts for the widths of the glyphs in the substring and any extra spacing inserted by the CSS 'letter-spacing' and 'word-spacing' properties. Visual spacing adjustments made by the 'x' attribute is ignored.
SVGTextContentElement.getStartPositionOfChar()
-
Returns a
DOMPoint
representing the position of a typographic character after text layout has been performed.Note: In SVG 1.1 this method returned an
SVGPoint
. SVGTextContentElement.getEndPositionOfChar()
-
Returns a
DOMPoint
representing the trailing position of a typographic character after text layout has been performed.Note: In SVG 1.1 this method returned an
SVGPoint
. SVGTextContentElement.getExtentOfChar()
-
Returns a
DOMRect
representing the computed tight bounding box of the glyph cell that corresponds to a given typographic character. SVGTextContentElement.getRotationOfChar()
-
Returns a float representing the rotation of typographic character.
SVGTextContentElement.getCharNumAtPosition()
-
Returns a long representing the character which caused a text glyph to be rendered at a given position in the coordinate system. Because the relationship between characters and glyphs is not one-to-one, only the first character of the relevant typographic character is returned
SVGTextContentElement.selectSubString()
Deprecated-
Selects text within the element.
