cy - Content — ContextQMD

The cy attribute defines the y-axis coordinate of a center point.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

{{SVGElement("circle")}}
{{SVGElement("ellipse")}}
{{SVGElement("radialGradient")}}

[!NOTE] As a geometry property, {{cssxref("cy")}} can also be used as CSS property for <circle> and <ellipse>.

Example

css

html,
body,
svg {
  height: 100%;
}

html

<svg viewBox="0 0 100 300" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <radialGradient cy="25%" id="myGradient">
    <stop offset="0" stop-color="white" />
    <stop offset="100%" stop-color="black" />
  </radialGradient>

  <circle cy="50" cx="50" r="45" />
  <ellipse cy="150" cx="50" rx="45" ry="25" />
  <rect x="5" y="205" width="90" height="90" fill="url(#myGradient)" />
</svg>

circle

For {{SVGElement('circle')}}, cy defines the y-axis coordinate of the center of the shape.

<table class="properties"> <tbody> <tr> <th scope="row">Value</th> <td>{{cssxref("length-percentage")}}</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Default value</th> <td><code>0</code></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Animatable</th> <td>Yes</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

[!NOTE] The y-axis coordinate of the center of the <circle> can also be defined with the {{cssxref("cy")}} geometry property. If set in CSS, the cy property value overrides the cy attribute value.

ellipse

For {{SVGElement('ellipse')}}, cy defines the y-axis coordinate of the center of the shape.

[!NOTE] The y-axis coordinate of the center of the <ellipse> can also be defined with the {{cssxref("cy")}} geometry property. If set in CSS, the cy property value overrides the cy attribute value.

radialGradient

For {{SVGElement('radialGradient')}}, cy defines the y-axis coordinate of the end circle for the radial gradient.

<table class="properties"> <tbody> <tr> <th scope="row">Value</th> <td> <strong><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Guides/Content_type#length"><length></a></strong> </td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Default value</th> <td><code>50%</code></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Animatable</th> <td>Yes</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
