paint-order
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.
Thepaint-order attribute specifies the order that the fill, stroke, and markers of a given shape or text element are painted.
Note:As a presentation attribute,paint-order also has a CSS property counterpart:paint-order. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
Usage notes
| Value | normal | [fill ||stroke ||markers ] |
|---|---|
| Default value | normal |
| Animatable | discrete |
- normal
This value indicates that the fill will be painted first, then the stroke, and finally the markers.
- [ fill || stroke || markers ]
The order of these three keywords indicates the order in which the painting happens, from left to right. If any of the three painting components is omitted, they will be painted in their default order after the specified components. For example, using
strokeis equivalent tostroke fill markers.
