SVG <foreignObject> Element

Last Updated : 14 Oct, 2020

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphic. It can be used to make graphics and animations like in HTML canvas.

The <foreignObject> element of SVG includes elements from a different XML namespace. It is an extensibility point which allows user agents to offer graphical rendering features beyond those which are defined within this specification.

Syntax:

<foreignObject x = "The x coordinate of the foreignObject"
         y = "The x coordinate of the foreignObject"
         width = "The width of the foreignObject" 
         height = "The height of the foreignObject">
</foreignObject>

Attributes:

x = The x coordinate of the foreignObject.
y = The x coordinate of the foreignObject.
width = The width of the foreignObject.
height = The height of the foreignObject.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html lang="en"> 
  
<head> 
    <meta charset="UTF-8"> 
    <meta name="viewport" content= 
        "width=device-width, 
         initial-scale=1.0"> 
</head> 
  
<body> 
    <svg viewBox="500 500 "> 
        <style> 
            div { 
                color: green; 
                font: 18px serif; 
                height: 100%; 
                overflow: auto; 
                background-color: black; 
            } 
        </style> 
        <foreignObject x="100" y="25" 
            width="160" height="160"> 
            <div> 
                <br><br>GEEKSFORGEEKS<br><br> 
            </div> 
        </foreignObject> 
    </svg>
