SVGAnimatedAngle: animVal property

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.

The animVal read-only property of the SVGAnimatedAngle interface represents the current animated value of the associated <angle> on an SVG element. If the attribute is not currently being animated, animVal will be the same as the baseVal.

This property reflects the animated state of the angle of the animating orient attribute of the SVG <marker> element, providing access to the value of the angle during animations.

Value

An SVGAngle object representing the animated value of the <angle> content type.

  • If the angle is being animated, animVal will reflect the current animation state.
  • If the angle is not animated, animVal will be identical to SVGAnimatedAngle.baseVal.

Examples

js
const marker = document.querySelector("[orient]");

// Set an initial angle for the orient attribute
marker.setAttribute("orient", "45");

// Access the animated value of the angle
const animAngle = marker.orientAngle.animVal; // an SVGAngle object

console.log(animAngle.value); // Output: 45 (current animated value of the angle)
console.log(animAngle.unitType); // Output: 2 (constant for SVG_ANGLETYPE_DEG)
