<radialGradient>

Baseline Widely available *

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.

* Some parts of this feature may have varying levels of support.

The <radialGradient>SVG element lets authors define radial gradients that can be applied to fill or stroke of graphical elements.

Note: Don't be confused with CSS radial-gradient() as CSS gradients can only apply to HTML elements where SVG gradient can only apply to SVG elements.

Example

html
<svg viewBox="0 0 10 10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <defs> <radialGradient id="myGradient"> <stop offset="10%" stop-color="gold" /> <stop offset="95%" stop-color="red" /> </radialGradient> </defs> <!-- using my radial gradient --> <circle cx="5" cy="5" r="4" fill="url('#myGradient')" /> </svg>

Attributes

cx

This attribute defines the x coordinate of the end circle of the radial gradient. Value type: <length>; Default value: 50%; Animatable: yes

cy

This attribute defines the y coordinate of the end circle of the radial gradient. Value type: <length>; Default value: 50%; Animatable: yes

fr

This attribute defines the radius of the start circle of the radial gradient. The gradient will be drawn such that the 0% <stop> is mapped to the perimeter of the start circle. Value type: <length>; Default value: 0%; Animatable: yes

fx

This attribute defines the x coordinate of the start circle of the radial gradient. Value type: <length>; Default value: Same as cx; Animatable: yes

fy

This attribute defines the y coordinate of the start circle of the radial gradient. Value type: <length>; Default value: Same as cy; Animatable: yes

gradientUnits

This attribute defines the coordinate system for attributes cx, cy, r, fx, fy, frValue type: userSpaceOnUse | objectBoundingBox; Default value: objectBoundingBox; Animatable: yes

gradientTransform

This attribute provides additional transformation to the gradient coordinate system. Value type: <transform-list>; Default value: identity transform; Animatable: yes

href

This attribute defines a reference to another <radialGradient> element that will be used as a template. Value type: <URL>; Default value: none; Animatable: yes

r

This attribute defines the radius of the end circle of the radial gradient. The gradient will be drawn such that the 100% <stop> is mapped to the perimeter of the end circle. Value type: <length>; Default value: 50%; Animatable: yes

spreadMethod

This attribute indicates how the gradient behaves if it starts or ends inside the bounds of the shape containing the gradient. Value type: pad | reflect | repeat; Default value: pad; Animatable: yes

xlink:href

An <IRI> reference to another <radialGradient> element that will be used as a template. Value type: <IRI>; Default value: none; Animatable: yes
