y2

The y2 attribute is used to specify the second y-coordinate for drawing an SVG element that requires more than one coordinate. Elements that only need one coordinate use the y attribute instead.

Elements

You can use this attribute with the SVG elements described in the sections below.

<line>

For <line>, y2 defines the y coordinate of the ending point of the line.
