y1

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 y1 attribute is used to specify the first y-coordinate for drawing an SVG element that requires more than one coordinate. Elements that only need one coordinate use the y attribute instead.

Elements

You can use this attribute with the SVG elements described in the sections below.

<line>

For <line>, y1 defines the y coordinate of the starting point of the line.

Value <length> | <percentage> | <number>
Default value 0
Animatable Yes
html
<svg viewBox="0 0 10 10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <line x1="1" x2="9" y1="1" y2="5" stroke="red" />
  <line x1="1" x2="9" y1="5" y2="5" stroke="green" />
  <line x1="1" x2="9" y1="9" y2="5" stroke="blue" />
</svg>

<linearGradient>

For <linearGradient>, y1 defines the y coordinate of the starting point of the gradient vector used to map the gradient stop values. The exact behavior of this attribute is influenced by the gradientUnits attributes

Value <length>
Default value 0%
Animatable Yes
html
<svg viewBox="0 0 20 10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

    <stop offset="50%" stop-color="red" />
    <stop offset="95%" stop-color="black" />
  </linearGradient>

  <rect x="1" y="1" width="8" height="8" fill="url(#g0)" />
