SVGAnimatedAngle: baseVal property

The baseVal read-only property of the SVGAnimatedAngle interface represents the base (non-animated) value of the associated <angle> on an SVG element. This property is used to retrieve the static value of the <angle>, unaffected by any ongoing animations.

This property reflects the <angle> value of the orient attribute of the SVG <marker> element, which is the same as the SVGMarkerElement.orientAngle property.

Value

An SVGAngle object representing the base value of the <angle> content type.

• The value is unaffected by animations, representing the initial state of the angle.
• The unit type of the angle can be retrieved from SVGAngle.unitType.

Examples

const marker = document.querySelector("[orient]");

// Set the orient attribute with an angle
marker.setAttribute("orient", "90");
const baseAngle = marker.orientAngle.baseVal; // an SVGAngle object

console.log(baseAngle.value); // Output: 90
console.log(baseAngle.unitType); // Output: 1 (constant for SVG_ANGLETYPE_UNSPECIFIED)
