SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphic. It can be used to make graphics and animations in HTML canvas. The <pattern> element is used to fill shapes with patterns made up of images. It fills the shapes in a tiled fashion.
Syntax:
<pattern> . . . </pattern>
Attributes:
- patternUnits: It defines the co-ordinates of x, y, height and width.
- patternContentUnits: It defines the region of the pattern.
- preserveAspectRatio: It shows an element with a viewBox giving a aspect ratio must fit into a viewport with a different aspect ratio.
- xlink:href: It defines a reference IRI to a resource.
Example 1:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
< html >
< body >
< svg width = "200" height = "200" >
< defs >
< pattern id = "pattern" x = "0" y = "0"
width = "10" height = "10"
patternUnits = "userSpaceOnUse" >
< circle cx = "10" cy = "10" r = "10"
style="stroke:lightgreen;
fill:white" />
</ pattern >
</ defs >
< rect x = "10" y = "10" width = "100"
height = "100" style="stroke: #000000;
fill: url(#pattern);" />
< g fill = "#FFFFFF" stroke = "black"
font-size = "12" font-family = "Verdana" >
