Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2020.

Thestroke-dashoffset attribute is a presentation attribute defining an offset on the rendering of the associated dash array.

Note:As a presentation attribute,stroke-dashoffset also has a CSS property counterpart:stroke-dashoffset. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

Example

html,body,svg {  height: 100%;}

html

<svg viewBox="-3 0 33 10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">  <!-- No dash array -->  <line x1="0" y1="1" x2="30" y2="1" stroke="black" />  <!-- No dash offset -->  <line x1="0" y1="3" x2="30" y2="3" stroke="black" stroke-dasharray="3 1" />  <!--  The start of the dash array computation  is pulled by 3 user units  -->  <line    x1="0"    y1="5"    x2="30"    y2="5"    stroke="black"    stroke-dasharray="3 1"    stroke-dashoffset="3" />  <!--  The start of the dash array computation  is pushed by 3 user units  -->  <line    x1="0"    y1="7"    x2="30"    y2="7"    stroke="black"    stroke-dasharray="3 1"    stroke-dashoffset="-3" />  <!--  The start of the dash array computation  is pulled by 1 user units which ends up  in the same rendering as the previous example  -->  <line    x1="0"    y1="9"    x2="30"    y2="9"    stroke="black"    stroke-dasharray="3 1"    stroke-dashoffset="1" />  <!--  the following red lines highlight the  offset of the dash array for each line  -->  <path d="M0,5 h-3 M0,7 h3 M0,9 h-1" stroke="rgb(255 0 0 / 50%)" /></svg>

Usage notes
