DOM Interface	SVGElement

Examples

In the following code example, the g element is used to group two elements together. They are then rotated together. Copy this sample to a text file and save it with the .html file extension. Run it in Internet Explorer 9 to see the rotated firebrick rectangle and dodgerblue ellipse.

Before the rotation, the elements looked like this:

After the rotation, the elements look like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    <svg width="400" height="400">
      <g transform="rotate(30 75 50)">
        <rect x="50" y="50" width="50" height="50" fill="firebrick"/>
        <ellipse cx="100" cy="50" rx="25" ry="50" fill="dodgerblue"/>
      </g>
    </svg>
  </body>
</html>

The SVGGElement object has these methods:

getBBox: Gets the bounding box, in current user space, of the geometry of all contained graphics elements.
getCTM: Gets the transformation matrix that transforms from the current user units to the viewport coordinate system for the nearestViewportElement object.
getScreenCTM: Gets the transformation matrix from the current user units to the screen coordinate system.
getTransformToElement: Gets the transformation matrix that transforms from the user coordinate system on the current element to the user coordinate system on the specified target element.
hasExtension: Determines if the specified extension is supported.

The SVGGElement object has these properties:

className: Gets the names of the classes that are assigned to this object.
clipPath: Sets or retrieves a reference to the SVG graphical object that will be used as the clipping path.
externalResourcesRequired: Gets a value that indicates whether referenced resources that are not in the current document are required to correctly render a given element.
farthestViewportElement: Gets a value that represents the farthest ancestor svg element.
