SVGPointList: clear() method

The clear() method of the SVGPointList interface removes all items from the list.

Syntax

js

clear()

Parameters

None.

Return value

None (undefined).

Exceptions

NoModificationAllowedError DOMException

Thrown if the list is read-only.

Examples

The following example shows an SVG which contains a <polyline> with five coordinate pairs. Calling clear() empties the list. Therefore the polyline no longer displays in the SVG.

html

<svg id="svg" viewBox="-10 -10 120 120" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <polyline
    id="example"
    stroke="black"
    fill="none"
    points="50,0 21,90 98,35 2,35 79,90" />
</svg>

js

let example = document.getElementById("example");
example.points.clear();
