SVGFESpotLightElement: limitingConeAngle property

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 limitingConeAngle read-only property of the SVGFESpotLightElement interface reflects the limitingConeAngle attribute of the given <feSpotLight> element.

Value

An SVGAnimatedNumber object.

Examples

Accessing the limitingConeAngle attribute of the <feSpotLight> element

In this example, we access the angle in degrees between the spot light axis (i.e. the axis between the light source and the point to which it is pointing at) and the spot light cone, by using the limitingConeAngle read-only property of the SVGFESpotLightElement interface.
