<circle>

The <circle> SVG element is an SVG basic shape, used to draw circles based on a center point and a radius.

Example

html
<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="50" />
</svg>

Attributes

cx

The x-axis coordinate of the center of the circle. Value type: <length>|<percentage> ; Default value: 0; Animatable: yes

cy

The y-axis coordinate of the center of the circle. Value type: <length>|<percentage> ; Default value: 0; Animatable: yes

r

The radius of the circle. A value lower or equal to zero disables rendering of the circle. Value type: <length>|<percentage> ; Default value: 0; Animatable: yes

pathLength

The total length for the circle's circumference, in user units. Value type: <number> ; Default value: none; Animatable: yes
