4 Basic Data Types and Interfaces

Contents

4.1 Syntax

The EBNF grammar is as used in the XML specification, with the addition of ~, a case-insensitive literal: characters in the ASCII range (only) are declared to be case-insensitive. For example, ~"Hello" will match (H|h)(e|e)(l|L)(l|L)(o|O). This makes the productions much easier to read.

?optional, zero or one
+one or more
*zero or more
|alternation
"string"literal
~"string"case-insensitive literal
[]a character range
[^]excluded character range
()grouping

4.2 Basic data types

This section defines a number of common data types used in the definitions of SVG properties and attributes. Some data types that are not referenced by multiple properties and attributes are defined inline in subsequent chapters.

Note that, as noted below, the specification of some types is different for CSS property values in style sheets (in the Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½styleÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ attribute, Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½styleÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ element or an external style sheet) than it is for for XML attribute values (including presentation attributes). This is due to restrictions in the CSS grammar. For example, scientific notation is allowed in attributes, including presentation attributes, but not in style sheets.

<angle>

Angles are specified in one of two ways depending upon whether they are used in CSS property syntax or SVG presentation attribute syntax:

In the SVG DOM, <angle> values are represented using SVGAngle or SVGAnimatedAngle objects.

<anything>

The basic type <anything> is a sequence of zero or more characters. Specifically:

anything ::= Char*

where Char is the production for a character, as defined in XML 1.0 ([XML10], section 2.2).

<color>

The basic type <color> is a CSS2 compatible specification for a color in the sRGB color space [SRGB]. <color> applies to SVG's use of the Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½colorÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ property and is a component of the definitions of properties Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½fillÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢, Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½strokeÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢, Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½stop-colorÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢, Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½flood-colorÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ and Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½lighting-colorÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢, which also offer optional ICC-based color specifications.

SVG supports all of the syntax alternatives for <color> defined in CSS2 syntax and basic data types ([CSS2], section 4.3.6), with the exception that SVG allows an expanded list of recognized color keywords names.

A <color> is either a keyword (see Recognized color keyword names) or a numerical RGB specification.

In addition to these color keywords, users may specify keywords that correspond to the colors used by objects in the user's environment. The normative definition of these keywords is found in User preferences for colors ([CSS2], section 18.2).

The format of an RGB value in hexadecimal notation is a "#" immediately followed by either three or six hexadecimal characters. The three-digit RGB notation (#rgb) is converted into six-digit form (#rrggbb) by replicating digits, not by adding zeros. For example, #fb0 expands to #ffbb00. This ensures that white (#ffffff) can be specified with the short notation (#fff) and removes any dependencies on the color depth of the display. The format of an RGB value in the functional notation is an RGB start-function followed by a comma-separated list of three numerical values (either three integer values or three percentage values) followed by ")". An RGB start-function is the case-insensitive string "rgb(", for example "RGB(" or "rGb(". For compatibility, the all-lowercase form "rgb(" is preferred. The integer value 255 corresponds to 100%, and to F or FF in the hexadecimal notation: rgb(255,255,255) = rgb(100%,100%,100%) = #FFF. White space characters are allowed around the numerical values. All RGB colors are specified in the sRGB color space [SRGB]. Using sRGB provides an unambiguous and objectively measurable definition of the color, which can be related to international standards (see [COLORIMETRY]).

color    ::= "#" hexdigit hexdigit hexdigit (hexdigit hexdigit hexdigit)?
             | "rgb(" wsp* integer comma integer comma integer wsp* ")"
             | "rgb(" wsp* integer "%" comma integer "%" comma integer "%" wsp* ")"
             | color-keyword
hexdigit ::= [0-9A-Fa-f]
comma    ::= wsp* "," wsp*
    

where color-keyword matches (case insensitively) one of the color keywords listed in Recognized color keyword names below, or one of the system color keywords listed in User preferences for colors ([CSS2], section 18.2).

The corresponding SVG DOM interface definitions for <color> are defined in Document Object Model CSS; in particular, see RGBColor ([DOM2STYLE], section 2.2). SVG's extension to color, including the ability to specify ICC-based colors, are represented using DOM interface SVGColor.

<coordinate>

A <coordinate> is a length in the user coordinate system that is the given distance from the origin of the user coordinate system along the relevant axis (the x-axis for X coordinates, the y-axis for Y coordinates). Its syntax is the same as that for <length>.

coordinate ::= length

Within the SVG DOM, a <coordinate> is represented as an SVGLength or an SVGAnimatedLength.

<frequency>

Frequency values are used with aural properties. As defined in CSS2, a frequency value is a <number> immediately followed by a frequency unit identifier. The frequency unit identifiers are:

Frequency values may not be negative.

In the SVG DOM, <frequency> values are represented using the CSSPrimitiveValue interface defined in Document Object Model CSS ([DOM2STYLE], section 2.2).

<FuncIRI>
Functional notation for an IRI: "url(" <IRI> ")".
<icccolor>

An <icccolor> is an ICC color specification. In SVG 1.1, an ICC color specification is given by a name, which references a Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½color-profileÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ element, and one or more color component values. The grammar is as follows:

icccolor ::= "icc-color(" name (comma-wsp number)+ ")"
name     ::= [^,()#x20#x9#xD#xA] /* any char except ",", "(", ")" or wsp */

The corresponding SVG DOM interface for <icccolor> is SVGICCColor.

<integer>

An <integer> is specified as an optional sign character ("+" or "-") followed by one or more digits "0" to "9":

integer ::= [+-]? [0-9]+

If the sign character is not present, the number is non-negative.

Unless stated otherwise for a particular attribute or property, the range for an <integer> encompasses (at a minimum) -2147483648 to 2147483647.

Within the SVG DOM, an <integer> is represented as a long or an SVGAnimatedInteger.

<IRI>

An Internationalized Resource Identifier (see IRI). For the specification of IRI references in SVG, see IRI references.

<length>

A length is a distance measurement, given as a number along with a unit which may be optional. Lengths are specified in one of two ways depending upon whether they are used in CSS property syntax or SVG presentation attribute syntax:

In the SVG DOM, <length> values are represented using SVGLength or SVGAnimatedLength objects.

<list-of-family-names>

A <list-of-family-names> is a list of font family names using the same syntax as the Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½font-familyÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ property, excluding the <generic-family> and 'inherit' values.

<list-of-strings>

A <list-of-strings> consists of a separated sequence of <string>s. String lists are white space-separated, where white space is defined as one or more of the following consecutive characters: "space" (U+0020), "tab" (U+0009), "line feed" (U+000A) and "carriage return" (U+000D).

The following is an EBNF grammar describing the <list-of-strings> syntax:

list-of-strings ::= string
                    | string wsp list-of-strings
string          ::= [^#x9#xA#xD#x20]*
wsp             ::= [#x9#xA#xD#x20]+
<list-of-Ts>

(Where T is a type other than <string> and <family-name>.) A list consists of a separated sequence of values. Unless explicitly described differently, lists within SVG's XML attributes can be either comma-separated, with optional white space before or after the comma, or white space-separated.

White space in lists is defined as one or more of the following consecutive characters: "space" (U+0020), "tab" (U+0009), "line feed" (U+000A), "carriage return" (U+000D) and "form-feed" (U+000C).

The following is a template for an EBNF grammar describing the <list-of-Ts> syntax:

list-of-Ts ::= T
               | T comma-wsp list-of-Ts
comma-wsp  ::= (wsp+ ","? wsp*) | ("," wsp*)
wsp        ::= (#x20 | #x9 | #xD | #xA)

Within the SVG DOM, values of a <list-of-Ts> type are represented by an interface specific for the particular type T. For example, a <list-of-lengths> is represented in the SVG DOM using an SVGLengthList or SVGAnimatedLengthList object.

<name>

A name, which is a string where a few characters of syntactic significance are disallowed.

name  ::= [^,()#x20#x9#xD#xA] /* any char except ",", "(", ")" or wsp */
<number>

Real numbers are specified in one of two ways. When used in a style sheet, a <number> is defined as follows:

number ::= integer
           | [+-]? [0-9]* "." [0-9]+

This syntax is the same as the definition in CSS ([CSS2], section 4.3.1).

When used in an SVG attribute, a <number> is defined differently, to allow numbers with large magnitudes to be specified more concisely:

number ::= integer ([Ee] integer)?
           | [+-]? [0-9]* "." [0-9]+ ([Ee] integer)?

Within the SVG DOM, a <number> is represented as a float, SVGNumber or a SVGAnimatedNumber.

<number-optional-number>

A pair of <number>s, where the second <number> is optional.

number-optional-number ::= number
                           | number comma-wsp number

In the SVG DOM, a <number-optional-number> is represented using a pair of SVGAnimatedInteger or SVGAnimatedNumber objects.

<paint>

The values for properties Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½fillÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ and Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½strokeÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ are specifications of the type of paint to use when filling or stroking a given graphics element. The available options and syntax for <paint> are described in Specifying paint.

Within the SVG DOM, <paint> values are represented using SVGPaint objects.

<percentage>

Percentages are specified as a number followed by a "%" character:

percentage ::= number "%"

Note that the definition of <number> depends on whether the percentage is specified in a style sheet or in an attribute that is not also a presentation attribute.

Percentage values are always relative to another value, for example a length. Each attribute or property that allows percentages also defines the reference distance measurement to which the percentage refers.

Within the SVG DOM, a <percentage> is represented using an SVGNumber or SVGAnimatedNumber object.

<time>

A time value is a <number> immediately followed by a time unit identifier. The time unit identifiers are:

In the SVG DOM, <time> values are represented using the CSSPrimitiveValue interface defined in Document Object Model CSS ([DOM2STYLE], section 2.2).

<transform-list>

A <transform-list> is used to specify a list of coordinate system transformations. A detailed description of the possible values for a <transform-list> is given in Modifying the User Coordinate System: the transform attribute.

Within the SVG DOM, a <transform-list> value is represented using an SVGTransformList or SVGAnimatedTransformList object.

<XML-Name>

An XML name, as defined by the Name production in Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 ([XML10], section 2.3).

4.3 Real number precision

Unless stated otherwise for a particular attribute or property, a <number> has the capacity for at least a single-precision floating point number and has a range (at a minimum) of -3.4e+38F to +3.4e+38F.

It is recommended that higher precision floating point storage and computation be performed on operations such as coordinate system transformations to provide the best possible precision and to prevent round-off errors.

Conforming High-Quality SVG Viewers are required to use at least double-precision floating point for intermediate calculations on certain numerical operations.

4.4 Recognized color keyword names

The following is the list of recognized color keywords that can be used as a keyword value for data type <color>:

4.5 Basic DOM interfaces

4.5.1 Interface SVGElement

All of the SVG DOM interfaces that correspond directly to elements in the SVG language (such as the SVGPathElement interface for the Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½pathÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ element) derive from the SVGElement interface.
interface SVGElement : Element {
           attribute DOMString id setraises(DOMException);
           attribute DOMString xmlbase setraises(DOMException);
  readonly attribute SVGSVGElement ownerSVGElement;
  readonly attribute SVGElement viewportElement;
};
Attributes:
id (DOMString)
The value of the Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½idÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ attribute on the given element, or the empty string if Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½idÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ is not present.
Exceptions on setting
DOMException, code NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR
Raised on an attempt to change the value of a read only attribute.
xmlbase (DOMString)
Corresponds to attribute Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½xml:baseÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ on the given element.
Exceptions on setting
DOMException, code NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR
Raised on an attempt to change the value of a read only attribute.
ownerSVGElement (readonly SVGSVGElement)
The nearest ancestor Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½svgÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ element. Null if the given element is the outermost svg element.
viewportElement (readonly SVGElement)
The element which established the current viewport. Often, the nearest ancestor Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½svgÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ element. Null if the given element is the outermost svg element.

4.5.2 Interface SVGAnimatedBoolean

Used for attributes of type boolean which can be animated.
interface SVGAnimatedBoolean {
           attribute boolean baseVal setraises(DOMException);
  readonly attribute boolean animVal;
};
Attributes:
baseVal (boolean)
The base value of the given attribute before applying any animations.
Exceptions on setting
DOMException, code NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR
Raised on an attempt to change the value of a read only attribute.
animVal (readonly boolean)
If the given attribute or property is being animated, contains the current animated value of the attribute or property. If the given attribute or property is not currently being animated, contains the same value as baseVal.

4.5.3 Interface SVGAnimatedString

Used for attributes of type DOMString which can be animated.
interface SVGAnimatedString {
           attribute DOMString baseVal setraises(DOMException);
  readonly attribute DOMString animVal;
};
Attributes:
baseVal (DOMString)
The base value of the given attribute before applying any animations.
Exceptions on setting
DOMException, code NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR
Raised on an attempt to change the value of a read only attribute.
animVal (readonly DOMString)
If the given attribute or property is being animated, contains the current animated value of the attribute or property. If the given attribute or property is not currently being animated, contains the same value as baseVal.

4.5.4 Interface SVGStringList

This interface defines a list of DOMString values.

SVGStringList has the same attributes and methods as other SVGxxxList interfaces. Implementers may consider using a single base class to implement the various SVGxxxList interfaces.

interface SVGStringList {

  readonly attribute unsigned long numberOfItems;

  void clear() raises(DOMException);
  DOMString initialize(in DOMString newItem) raises(DOMException);
  DOMString getItem(in unsigned long index) raises(DOMException);
  DOMString insertItemBefore(in DOMString newItem, in unsigned long index) raises(DOMException);
  DOMString replaceItem(in DOMString newItem, in unsigned long index) raises(DOMException);
  DOMString removeItem(in unsigned long index) raises(DOMException);
  DOMString appendItem(in DOMString newItem) raises(DOMException);
};
Attributes:
numberOfItems (readonly unsigned long)
The number of items in the list.
Operations:
void clear()
Clears all existing current items from the list, with the result being an empty list.
Exceptions
DOMException, code NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR

    The item which should become the only member of the list.
Returns
The item being inserted into the list.
Exceptions
DOMException, code NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR
Raised when the list cannot be modified.
DOMString getItem(in unsigned long index)
Returns the specified item from the list.

Raised when the length corresponds to a read only attribute or when the object itself is read only.
valueInSpecifiedUnits (float)
The value as a floating point value, in the units expressed by unitType. Setting this attribute will cause value and valueAsString to be updated automatically to reflect this setting.
Exceptions on setting
DOMException, code NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR
Raised when the length corresponds to a read only attribute or when the object itself is read only.

4.5.20 Interface SVGAnimatedRect

Used for attributes of type SVGRect which can be animated.
interface SVGAnimatedRect {
  readonly attribute SVGRect baseVal;
  readonly attribute SVGRect animVal;
};
Attributes:
baseVal (readonly SVGRect)
The base value of the given attribute before applying any animations.
animVal (readonly SVGRect)
A read only SVGRect representing the current animated value of the given attribute. If the given attribute is not currently being animated, then the SVGRect will have the same contents as baseVal. The object referenced by animVal will always be distinct from the one referenced by baseVal, even when the attribute is not animated.

4.5.21 Interface SVGUnitTypes

The SVGUnitTypes interface defines a commonly used set of constants and is a base interface used by SVGGradientElement, SVGPatternElement, SVGClipPathElement, SVGMaskElement and SVGFilterElement.
interface SVGUnitTypes {
  // Unit Types
  const unsigned short SVG_UNIT_TYPE_UNKNOWN = 0;
  const unsigned short SVG_UNIT_TYPE_USERSPACEONUSE = 1;
  const unsigned short SVG_UNIT_TYPE_OBJECTBOUNDINGBOX = 2;
};
Constants in group Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½Unit TypesÄ�ā‚¬ĀÆ:
SVG_UNIT_TYPE_UNKNOWN (unsigned short)
The type is not one of predefined types. It is invalid to attempt to define a new value of this type or to attempt to switch an existing value to this type.
SVG_UNIT_TYPE_USERSPACEONUSE (unsigned short)
Corresponds to value 'userSpaceOnUse'.
SVG_UNIT_TYPE_OBJECTBOUNDINGBOX (unsigned short)
Corresponds to value 'objectBoundingBox'.

4.5.22 Interface SVGStylable

The SVGStylable interface is implemented on all objects corresponding to SVG elements that can have Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½styleÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢, Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½classÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ and presentation attributes specified on them. It is thus an ancestor interface for many of the interfaces defined in this specification.
interface SVGStylable {

  readonly attribute SVGAnimatedString className;
  readonly attribute CSSStyleDeclaration style;

  CSSValue getPresentationAttribute(in DOMString name);
};
Attributes:
className (readonly SVGAnimatedString)
Corresponds to attribute Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½classÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ on the given element.
style (readonly CSSStyleDeclaration)
Corresponds to attribute Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½styleÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ on the given element. If the user agent does not support styling with CSS, then this attribute must always have the value of null.
Operations:
CSSValue getPresentationAttribute(in DOMString name)
Returns the base (i.e., static) value of a given presentation attribute as an object of type CSSValue. The returned object is live; changes to the objects represent immediate changes to the objects to which the CSSValue is attached.

Note: The getPresentationAttribute method is deprecated, and may be dropped from future versions of the SVG specification.

Parameters
  1. DOMString name
    The name of the presentation attribute whose value is to be returned.
Returns
The static/base value of the given presentation attribute as a CSSValue, or null if the given attribute does not have a specified value.

4.5.23 Interface SVGLocatable

Interface SVGLocatable is for all elements which either have a Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½transformÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ attribute or don't have a Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½transformÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ attribute but whose content can have a bounding box in current user space.
interface SVGLocatable {

  readonly attribute SVGElement nearestViewportElement;
  readonly attribute SVGElement farthestViewportElement;

  SVGRect getBBox();
  SVGMatrix getCTM();
  SVGMatrix getScreenCTM();
  SVGMatrix getTransformToElement(in SVGElement element) raises(SVGException);
};
Attributes:
nearestViewportElement (readonly SVGElement)
The element which established the current viewport. Often, the nearest ancestor Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½svgÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ element. Null if the current element is the outermost svg element.
farthestViewportElement (readonly SVGElement)
The farthest ancestor Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½svgÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ element. Null if the current element is the outermost svg element.
Operations:
SVGRect getBBox()
Returns the tight bounding box in current user space (i.e., after application of the Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½transformÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ attribute, if any) on the geometry of all contained graphics elements, exclusive of stroking, clipping, masking and filter effects). Note that getBBox must return the actual bounding box at the time the method was called, even in case the element has not yet been rendered.
Returns
An SVGRect object that defines the bounding box.
SVGMatrix getCTM()
Returns the transformation matrix from current user units (i.e., after application of the Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½transformÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ attribute, if any) to the viewport coordinate system for the nearestViewportElement.
Returns
An SVGMatrix object that defines the CTM.
SVGMatrix getScreenCTM()
Returns the transformation matrix from current user units (i.e., after application of the Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½transformÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ attribute, if any) to the parent user agent's notice of a "pixel". For display devices, ideally this represents a physical screen pixel. For other devices or environments where physical pixel sizes are not known, then an algorithm similar to the CSS2 definition of a "pixel" can be used instead. Note that null is returned if this element is not hooked into the document tree. This method would have been more aptly named as getClientCTM, but the name getScreenCTM is kept for historical reasons.
Returns
An SVGMatrix object that defines the given transformation matrix.
SVGMatrix getTransformToElement(in SVGElement element)
Returns the transformation matrix from the user coordinate system on the current element (after application of the Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½transformÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ attribute, if any) to the user coordinate system on parameter element (after application of its Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½transformÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ attribute, if any).
Parameters
  1. SVGElement element
    The target element.
Returns
An SVGMatrix object that defines the transformation.
Exceptions
SVGException, code SVG_MATRIX_NOT_INVERTABLE
Raised if the currently defined transformation matrices make it impossible to compute the given matrix (e.g., because one of the transformations is singular).

4.5.24 Interface SVGTransformable

Interface SVGTransformable contains properties and methods that apply to all elements which have attribute Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½transformÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢.

True or false, depending on whether the given extension is supported.

4.5.26 Interface SVGLangSpace

Interface SVGLangSpace defines an interface which applies to all elements which have attributes Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½xml:langÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ and Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½xml:spaceÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢.
interface SVGLangSpace {
  attribute DOMString xmllang setraises(DOMException);
  attribute DOMString xmlspace setraises(DOMException);
};
Attributes:
xmllang (DOMString)
Corresponds to attribute Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½xml:langÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ on the given element.

externalResourcesRequired (readonly SVGAnimatedBoolean)
Corresponds to attribute Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½externalResourcesRequiredÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ on the given element. Note that the SVG DOM defines the attribute Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½externalResourcesRequiredÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ as being of type SVGAnimatedBoolean, whereas the SVG language definition says that Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½externalResourcesRequiredÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ is not animated. Because the SVG language definition states that Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½externalResourcesRequiredÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ cannot be animated, the animVal will always be the same as the baseVal.

4.5.28 Interface SVGFitToViewBox

Interface SVGFitToViewBox defines DOM attributes that apply to elements which have XML attributes Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½viewBoxÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ and Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½preserveAspectRatioÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢.

interface SVGURIReference {
  readonly attribute SVGAnimatedString href;
};
Attributes:
href (readonly SVGAnimatedString)
Corresponds to attribute Ä�ā‚¬ļæ½xlink:hrefÄ�ā‚¬ā„¢ on the given element.

4.5.32 Interface SVGCSSRule

SVG extends interface CSSRule with interface SVGCSSRule by adding an SVGColorProfileRule rule to allow for specification of ICC-based color.

It is likely that this extension will become part of a future version of CSS and DOM.
