Examples
Examples of correct values for path()
path("M 10 80 C 40 10, 65 10, 95 80 S 150 150, 180 80"); path(evenodd,"M 10 80 C 40 10, 65 10, 95 80 S 150 150, 180 80");
Use as the value of offset-path
The path()
function is used to create a path for the item to travel round. Changing any of the values will cause the path to not neatly run round the circle.
Modify the value of the SVG path d attribute
The path()
can be used to modify the value of the SVG d
attribute, which can also be set to none
in your CSS.
The "V" symbol will flip vertically when you hover over it, if d
is supported as a CSS property.
CSS
html,body,svg { height:100% } /* This path is displayed on hover*/ #svg_css_ex1:hover path { d: path("M20,80 L50,20 L80,80") }
HTML
<svg id="svg_css_ex1" viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <path fill="none" stroke="red" d="M20,20 L50,80 L80,20" /> </svg>
