refY
TherefY attribute defines the y coordinate of an element's reference point.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
In this article
marker
For<marker>,refY defines the y coordinate of the marker's reference point, which is to be placed exactly at the marker's position on the shape.
| Value | <length-percentage> |<number> |top |center |bottom |
|---|---|
| Default value | 0 |
| Animatable | Yes |
<length-percentage>Lengths are interpreted as being in the coordinate system of the marker contents, after application of the
viewBoxandpreserveAspectRatioattributes.Percentage values are interpreted as being a percentage of the
viewBoxheight.<number>Numbers are interpreted as being in the coordinate system of the marker contents, after application of the
viewBoxandpreserveAspectRatioattributes.topThe reference point of the marker is placed at the top edge of the shape.
centerThe reference point of the marker is placed at the vertical center of the shape.
bottomThe reference point of the marker is placed at the bottom edge of the shape.
symbol
For<symbol>,refY defines the y coordinate of the symbol, which is defined by the cumulative effect of they attribute and any transformations on the<symbol> and its host<use> element.
Unlike other positioning attributes,refY is interpreted as being in the coordinate system of the symbol contents, after application of theviewBox andpreserveAspectRatio attributes. If the attribute is not specified, no vertical adjustment is made, and the top side of the symbol's rectangular viewport region (regardless of theviewBox coordinate) is positioned at the y coordinate.
Note:For backwards compatibility, the behavior whenrefY is not specified on a<symbol> element is different from when it is specified with a value of0, and therefore different from the behavior when an equivalent attribute is not specified on a<marker> element.
