The dx attribute indicates a shift along the x-axis on the position of an element or its content.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

  • {{SVGElement('feDropShadow')}}
  • {{SVGElement('feOffset')}}
  • {{SVGElement('text')}}
  • {{SVGElement('tspan')}}

Example

css
html,
body,
svg {
  height: 100%;
}
html
<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <!-- Lines materialized the position of the glyphs -->
  <line x1="0" x2="100%" y1="50%" y2="50%" />
  <line x1="10%" x2="10%" y1="0" y2="100%" />
  <line x1="60%" x2="60%" y1="0" y2="100%" />

  <!-- Some reference text -->
  <text x="10%" y="50%" fill="grey">SVG</text>

  <!-- The same text with a shift along the x-axis -->
  <text dx="50%" x="10%" y="50%">SVG</text>
</svg>

line {
  stroke: red;

feDropShadow

For {{SVGElement('feDropShadow')}}, dx defines the x offset of the dropped shadow. The unit used to resolve the value of the attribute is set by the {{SVGAttr('primitiveUnits')}} attribute of the {{SVGElement('filter')}} element.

<table class="properties"> <tbody> <tr> <th scope="row">Value</th> <td> <strong ><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Guides/Content_type#number">&#x3C;number></a></strong > </td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Default value</th> <td><code>2</code></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Animatable</th> <td>Yes</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

feOffset

For {{SVGElement('feOffset')}}, dx defines the x offset of the filter input graphic. The unit used to resolve the value of the attribute is set by the {{SVGAttr('primitiveUnits')}} attribute of the {{SVGElement('filter')}} element.

<table class="properties"> <tbody> <tr> <th scope="row">Value</th> <td> <strong ><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Guides/Content_type#number">&#x3C;number></a></strong > </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>

text

For {{SVGElement('text')}}, if it contains a single value, dx defines a shift along the x-axis for all glyphs.

If there are multiple values, dx defines a shift along the x-axis for each individual glyph relative to the preceding glyph. If there are less values than glyphs, the remaining glyphs use a value of 0. If there are more values than glyphs, extra values are ignored.

<table class="properties"> <tbody> <tr> <th scope="row">Value</th> <td> List of (<strong ><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Guides/Content_type#length" >&#x3C;length></a ></strong > | <strong ><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Guides/Content_type#percentage" >&#x3C;percentage></a ></strong >) </td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Default value</th> <td><em>none</em></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Animatable</th> <td>Yes</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

tspan

For {{SVGElement('tspan')}}, if it contains a single value, dx defines a shift along the x-axis for all alternate glyph.

If there are multiple values, dx defines a shift along the x-axis for each individual glyph relative to the preceding glyph. If there are less values than glyphs, the remaining glyphs use a value of 0. If there are more values than glyphs, extra values are ignored.

<table class="properties"> <tbody> <tr> <th scope="row">Value</th> <td> List of (<strong ><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Guides/Content_type#length" >&#x3C;length></a ></strong > | <strong ><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Guides/Content_type#percentage" >&#x3C;percentage></a ></strong >) </td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Default value</th> <td><em>none</em></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Animatable</th> <td>Yes</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
