SVGTransform: angle property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The angle read-only property of the SVGTransform interface represents the angle of the transformation in degrees.

For SVG_TRANSFORM_ROTATE, SVG_TRANSFORM_SKEWX, and SVG_TRANSFORM_SKEWY, angle reflects the transformation's rotation or skewing angle.

For SVG_TRANSFORM_MATRIX, SVG_TRANSFORM_TRANSLATE and SVG_TRANSFORM_SCALE, angle will be zero.

Value

An integer; the angle value in degrees as a float.

Examples

Accessing the angle property

html
<svg width="200" height="200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <rect id="rect" x="50" y="50" width="100" height="100" fill="green" />
</svg>
js
const rect = document.getElementById("rect");
const transformList = rect.transform.baseVal;

// Create and add a rotation transform
const rotateTransform = rect.ownerSVGElement.createSVGTransform();
rotateTransform.setRotate(45, 100, 100); // Rotate 45 degrees
transformList.appendItem(rotateTransform);

// Access the angle property
console.log(transformList.getItem(0).angle); // Output: 45
