SVGRectElement: x property

The x read-only property of the SVGRectElement interface describes the horizontal coordinate of the position of an SVG rectangle as a SVGAnimatedLength. The <coordinate> is a length in the user coordinate system that is the given distance from the origin of the user coordinate system along the x-axis. Its syntax is the same as that for <length>.

It reflects the <rect> element's x geometric attribute value. The CSS x property takes precedence over the SVG x geometric attribute, so the value may not reflect the element's appearance. The default value is 0.

Value

An SVGAnimatedLength.

Example

const rectangle = document.querySelector("rect");
const leftPosition = rectangle.x;
console.log(leftPosition.baseVal.value); // the `x` value
