Example
html,body,svg { height: 100%;}<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <!-- Lines materialized the position of the glyphs --> <line x1="10%" x2="10%" y1="0" y2="100%" /> <line x1="0" x2="100%" y1="30%" y2="30%" /> <line x1="0" x2="100%" y1="80%" y2="80%" /> <!-- Some reference text --> <text x="10%" y="30%" fill="grey">SVG</text> <!-- The same text with a shift along the y-axis --> <text dy="50%" x="10%" y="30%">SVG</text></svg>line { stroke: red; stroke-width: 0.5px; stroke-dasharray: 3px;}feDropShadow
For<feDropShadow>,dy defines the y offset of the dropped shadow. The unit used to resolve the value of the attribute is set by theprimitiveUnits attribute of the<filter> element.
| Value | <number> |
|---|---|
| Default value | 2 |
| Animatable | Yes |
feOffset
For<feOffset>,dy defines the y offset of the filter input graphic. The unit used to resolve the value of the attribute is set by theprimitiveUnits attribute of the<filter> element.
| Value | <number> |
|---|---|
| Default value | 0 |
| Animatable | Yes |
text
For<text>, if it contains a single value,dy defines a shift along the y-axis for all glyphs.
If there are multiple values,dy defines a shift along the y-axis for each individual glyph relative to the preceding glyph. If there are less values than glyphs, the remaining glyphs use a value of0. If there are more values than glyphs, extra values are ignored.
| Value | List of (<length> |<percentage>) |
|---|---|
| Default value | none |
| Animatable | Yes |
Example
html,body,svg { height: 100%;}<svg viewBox="0 0 150 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <!-- Horizontal lines --> <line x1="0" x2="100%" y1="30" y2="30" /> <line x1="0" x2="100%" y1="40" y2="40" /> <line x1="0" x2="100%" y1="50" y2="50" /> <line x1="0" x2="100%" y1="60" y2="60" /> <!-- Vertical lines --> <line x1="10" x2="10" y1="0" y2="100%" /> <line x1="50" x2="50" y1="0" y2="100%" /> <line x1="90" x2="90" y1="0" y2="100%" /> <!-- Behaviors change based on the number of values in the attributes --> <text dy="20" x="10" y="30">SVG</text> <text dy="0 10" x="50" y="30">SVG</text> <text dy="0 10 20" x="90" y="30">SVG</text></svg>line { stroke: red; stroke-width: 0.5px; stroke-dasharray: 3px;}tspan
For<tspan>, if it contains a single value,dy defines a shift along the y-axis for all alternate glyph.
If there are multiple values,dy defines a shift along the y-axis for each individual glyph relative to the preceding glyph. If there are less values than glyphs, the remaining glyphs use a value of0. If there are more values than glyphs, extra values are ignored.
