  [out] SVGAnimatedEnumeration **enumValue
);

Property values

Type: SVGAnimatedEnumeration

One of the following:

Value Condition
userSpaceOnUse userSpaceOnUse

objectBoundingBox objectBoundingBox

Indicates that all attributes represent fractions or percentages of the bounding box on the referencing element.

 

Standards information

Remarks

ISVGFilterElement::filterUnits defines the coordinate system for the filter attributes. If filterUnits="userSpaceOnUse", all attributes represent values in the current user coordinate system that is in place at the time when the filter is referenced. If filterUnits="objectBoundingBox", then all attributes represent fractions or percentages of the bounding box on the referencing element. If attribute filterUnits is not specified, then the effect is the same as specifying a value of objectBoundingBox.

Examples

Here's how to specify the units of the element referencing the filter.

<defs>
  <filter id="MyFilter" filterUnits="userSpaceOnUse" x="0" y="0" width="200" height="120">
    <feGaussianBlur in="SourceAlpha" stdDeviation="4" result="blur"/>
  </filter>
</defs>
