cx

The cx attribute defines the x-axis coordinate of a center point.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

Note: As a geometry property, cx can also be used as CSS property for <circle> and <ellipse>.

Example

html
<svg viewBox="0 0 300 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <radialGradient cx="25%" id="myGradient">
    <stop offset="0" stop-color="white" />
    <stop offset="100%" stop-color="black" />
  </radialGradient>

  <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="45" />
  <ellipse cx="150" cy="50" rx="45" ry="25" />
  <rect x="205" y="5" width="90" height="90" fill="url(#myGradient)" />
</svg>

circle

For <circle>, cx defines the x-axis coordinate of the center of the shape.

Value <length-percentage>
Default value 0
Animatable Yes

Note: The x-axis coordinate of the center of the <circle> can also be defined with the cx geometry property. If set in CSS, the cx property value overrides the cx attribute value.

ellipse

For <ellipse>, cx defines the x-axis coordinate of the center of the shape.

Value <length-percentage>
Default value 0
Animatable Yes

Note: The x-axis coordinate of the center of the <ellipse> can also be defined with the cx geometry property. If set in CSS, the cx property value overrides the cx attribute value.

radialGradient

For <radialGradient>, cx defines the x-axis coordinate of the end circle for the radial gradient.

Value <length>
Default value 50%
Animatable Yes
