clip-rule
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2020.
The clip-rule attribute only applies to graphics elements that are contained within a <clipPath> element. The clip-rule attribute basically works as the fill-rule attribute, except that it applies to <clipPath> definitions.
Note:
As a presentation attribute, clip-rule also has a CSS property counterpart: clip-rule. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.
The following fragment of code will cause an evenodd clipping rule to be applied to the clipping path because clip-rule is specified on the <path> element that defines the clipping shape:
whereas the following fragment of code will not cause an evenodd clipping rule to be applied because the clip-rule is specified on the referencing element, not on the object defining the clipping shape:
