The visibility
attribute lets you control the visibility of graphical elements. With a value of hidden
or collapse
the current graphics element is invisible.
Note: If the visibility
attribute is set to hidden
on a text element, then the text is invisible but still takes up space in text layout calculations.
Depending on the value of attribute pointer-events
, graphics elements which have their visibility
attribute set to hidden
still might receive events.
Note: As a presentation attribute, visibility
can be used as a CSS property. See the css visibility
property for more information.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
Example
<svg viewBox="0 0 220 120" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<rect x="10" y="10" width="200" height="100" stroke="black"
stroke-width="5" fill="transparent" />
<g stroke="seagreen" stroke-width="5" fill="skyblue">
<rect x="20" y="20" width="80" height="80" visibility="visible" />
<rect x="120" y="20" width="80" height="80" visibility="hidden"/>
</g>
</svg>

visible
-
This value indicates that the element will be painted.
-
This value indicates that the element will not be painted. Though it is still part of the rendering tree, i.e. it may receive pointer events depending on the
pointer-events
attribute, may receive focus depending on thetabindex
attribute, contributes to bounding box calculations and clipping paths, and does affect text layout. collapse
-
This value is equal to
hidden
.
Example
The following example toggles the CSS visibility
of the SVG image path.

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="button-icon">
<path d="M16.59 8.59L12 13.17 7.41 8.59 6 10l6 6 6-6z" />
<path d="M12 8l-6 6 1.41 1.41L12 10.83l4.59 4.58L18 14z" class="invisible" />
<path d="M0 0h24v24H0z" fill="none" />
