clip-path
The clip-path presentation attribute defines or associates a clipping path with the element it is related to.
Note: As a presentation attribute clip-path can be used as a CSS property.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
<a><circle><clipPath><ellipse><g><glyph><image><line><marker><mask><path><pattern><polygon><polyline><rect><svg><symbol><text><use>
Example
<svg viewBox="0 0 20 20" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <clipPath id="myClip" clipPathUnits="objectBoundingBox"> <circle cx=".5" cy=".5" r=".5" /> </clipPath> <!-- Top-left: Apply a custom defined clipping path --> <rect x="1" y="1" width="8" height="8" stroke="green" clip-path="url(#myClip)" /> <!-- Top-right: Apply a CSS basic shape on a fill-box geometry. This is the same as having a custom clipping path with a clipPathUnits set to objectBoundingBox --> <rect x="11" y="1" width="8" height="8" stroke="green" clip-path="circle() fill-box" /> <!-- Bottom-left --> <rect x="1" y="11" width="8" height="8" stroke="green" clip-path="circle() stroke-box" /> <!-- Bottom-right: Apply a CSS basic shape on a view-box geometry. This is the same as having a custom clipping path with a clipPathUnits set to userSpaceOnUse --> <rect x="11" y="11" width="8" height="8" stroke="green" clip-path="circle() view-box" /> </svg>
