cx

The cx attribute defines the x-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("cx")}}  can also be used as CSS property for <circle> and <ellipse>.

Example

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

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

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

circle

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

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

ellipse

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

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

radialGradient

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

Example

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

<svg viewBox="0 0 34 10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <defs>

    </radialGradient>

    <radialGradient cx="50%" id="myGradient050">
