The path attribute has two different meanings, either it defines a text path along which the characters of a text are rendered, or a motion path along which a referenced element is animated.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

• <animateMotion>
• <textPath>

For <animateMotion>, path defines the motion path, expressed in the same format and interpreted the same way as the d geometric property for the <path> element. The effect of a motion path animation is a translation along the x- and y-axes of the current user coordinate system by the x and y values computed over time.

Value	<path-data>
Default value	None
Animatable	No

<path-data>

This value defines the motion path along which the referenced element is animated. For detailed information about the commands that can be used, see the explanation for the d attribute.

For <textPath>, path defines the path onto which the glyphs of a <text> element will be rendered. An empty string indicates that there is no path data for the element. This means that the text within the <textPath> element does not render or contribute to the bounding box of the <text> element. If the attribute is not specified, the path specified in href is used instead.

Value	<path-data>
Default value	Path specified in href
Animatable	Yes

<path-data>

This value defines the text path along which the glyphs of the <text> element are aligned. For detailed information about the commands that can be used, see the explanation for the d attribute.
