clip-path
The clip-path
presentation attribute defines or associates a clipping path with the element it is related to.
Note: As a presentation attribute clip-path
can be used as a CSS property.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
Example
html
<svg viewBox="0 0 20 20" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<clipPath id="myClip" clipPathUnits="objectBoundingBox">
<circle cx=".5" cy=".5" r=".5" />
</clipPath>
<!-- Top-left: Apply a custom defined clipping path -->
<rect
x="1"
y="1"
width="8"
height="8"
stroke="green"
clip-path="url(#myClip)" />
<!-- Top-right: Apply a CSS basic shape on a fill-box
geometry. This is the same as having a custom clipping
path with a clipPathUnits set to objectBoundingBox -->
<rect
x="11"
y="1"
width="8"
height="8"
stroke="green"
clip-path="circle() fill-box" />
<!-- Bottom-left -->
<rect
x="1"
y="11"
width="8"
height="8"
stroke="green"
clip-path="circle() stroke-box" />
<!-- Bottom-right: Apply a CSS basic shape on a view-box
geometry. This is the same as having a custom clipping
path with a clipPathUnits set to userSpaceOnUse -->
<rect
x="11"
y="11"
width="8"
height="8"
stroke="green"
clip-path="circle() view-box" />
</svg>
