Theclip attribute defines the visible region of an element. You should useclip-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 CSSclip property. Unitless values, which indicate current user coordinates, are permitted on the coordinate values on therect(). The value ofauto 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
html,body,svg { height: 100%;}<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
