cx

The cx attribute defines the x-axis coordinate of a center point.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

Note: As a geometry property, cx can also be used as CSS property for <circle> and <ellipse>.

Example

html
<svg viewBox="0 0 300 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <radialGradient cx="25%" id="myGradient"> <stop offset="0" stop-color="white" /> <stop offset="100%" stop-color="black" /> </radialGradient> <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="45" /> <ellipse cx="150" cy="50" rx="45" ry="25" /> <rect x="205" y="5" width="90" height="90" fill="url(#myGradient)" /> </svg> 

circle

For <circle>, cx defines the x-axis coordinate of the center of the shape.

Value <length-percentage>
Default value 0
Animatable Yes

Note: The x-axis coordinate of the center of the <circle> can also be defined with the cx geometry property. If set in CSS, the cx property value overrides the cx attribute value.

ellipse

For <ellipse>, cx defines the x-axis coordinate of the center of the shape.

Value <length-percentage>
Default value 0
Animatable Yes

Note: The x-axis coordinate of the center of the <ellipse> can also be defined with the cx geometry property. If set in CSS, the cx property value overrides the cx attribute value.

radialGradient

For <radialGradient>, cx defines the x-axis coordinate of the end circle for the radial gradient.

Value <length>
Default value 50%
Animatable Yes

Example

html
<svg viewBox="0 0 34 10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <defs> <radialGradient cx="0" id="myGradient000"> <stop offset="0%" stop-color="gold" /> <stop offset="50%" stop-color="green" /> <stop offset="100%" stop-color="white" /> </radialGradient> <radialGradient cx="50%" id="myGradient050"> <stop offset="0%" stop-color="gold" /> <stop offset="50%" stop-color="green" /> <stop offset="100%" stop-color="white" /> </radialGradient> <radialGradient cx="100%" id="myGradient100"> <stop offset="0%" stop-color="gold" /> <stop offset="50%" stop-color="green" /> <stop offset="100%" stop-color="white" /> </radialGradient> </defs> <rect x="1" y="1" width="8" height="8" fill="url(#myGradient000)" stroke="black" /> <rect x="13" y="1" width="8" height="8" fill="url(#myGradient050)" stroke="black" /> <rect x="25" y="1" width="8" height="8" fill="url(#myGradient100)" stroke="black" /> </svg>
