y

« SVG Attribute reference home

The y attribute indicates a y-axis coordinate in the current SVG coordinate system. The exact effect of this coordinate depends on the element. Most of the time, it represent the y-axis coordinate of the upper-left corner of the bounding box of the reference element, positioning the element vertically.

If the attribute is not specified, the default value is 0, except for the <filter> and <mask> elements where the default is -10%.
