SVGPointList.replaceItem()

The replaceItem() method of the SVGPointList interface replaces a point in the list.

SVGPointList.replaceItem(obj,index);

NoModificationAllowedError DOMException

Thrown if the list is read-only.

IndexSizeError DOMException

The following example shows an SVG which contains a <polyline> with five coordinate pairs. A new SVGPoint is created, then replaces the point at index 1 (the second item in the list).

<svg id="svg" viewBox="-10 -10 120 120" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <polyline id="example" stroke="black" fill="none"
   points="50,0 21,90 98,35 2,35 79,90"/>

let example = document.getElementById("example");
let svgpoint = document.getElementById("svg").createSVGPoint();
svgpoint.y = 10;
svgpoint.x = 10;
console.log(example.points.replaceItem(svgpoint,1));
