Index

The <set> SVG element provides a method of setting the value of an attribute for a specified duration.

It supports all attribute types, including those that cannot reasonably be interpolated, such as string and boolean values. For attributes that can be reasonably be interpolated, the {{SVGElement('animate')}} is usually preferred.

[!NOTE] The <set> element is non-additive. The {{SVGAttr('additive')}} and {{SVGAttr('accumulate')}} attributes are not allowed, and will be ignored if specified.
