SVG y1 Attribute

Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025

The y1 attribute is used to specify the first y-coordinate for drawing an SVG element that requires more than one coordinate.

Elements that are using this attribute:

Syntax:

y1 = "y1-coordinate"

Attribute Values:

  • length: :Length at which we want to set the y1-coordinate.
  • percentage: Percentage at which we want to set the y1-coordinate.

We will use the y1 attribute for setting the y1-coordinate.

Example 1: In this example we will use the length value.

        xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
        
        <line x1="1" x2="9" y1="5" 
            y2="5" stroke="green" />
        
        <line x1="1" x2="9" y1="7" 
            y2="7" stroke="green" />
