SVGAnimatedEnumeration

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The SVGAnimatedEnumeration interface describes attribute values which are constants from a particular enumeration and which can be animated.

From SVG 2, both baseVal and animVal reflect the non-animated value of the attribute. The allowed values of its properties depend on the associated attribute.

Instance properties

baseVal

An integer that is the base value of the given attribute before applying any animations.

animVal Read only

This is the same as baseVal in SVG 2.

Instance methods

The SVGAnimatedEnumeration interface does not provide any specific methods.

Examples

Basic usage

Consider this snippet with a <clipPath> element: Its clipPathUnits is associated with a SVGAnimatedEnumeration object.

html
<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" width="200" height="200">
  <clipPath id="clip1" clipPathUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
    <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="35" />
  </clipPath>

  <!-- Some reference rect to materialized to clip path -->
  <rect id="r1" x="0" y="0" width="45" height="45" />
</svg>

The following JavaScript gets the element, and logs the baseVal and animVal of the SVGClipPathElement.clipPathUnits property. These values should be the same.

js
const clipPathElt = document.getElementById("clip1");
console.log(clipPathElt.clipPathUnits.baseVal); // Logs 1 that correspond to userSpaceOnUse
console.log(clipPathElt.clipPathUnits.animVal); // Logs 1 that correspond to userSpaceOnUse
