SVGAnimationElement

Extends SVGElement. Implements SVGTests, SVGExternalResourcesRequired, ElementTimeControl, SVGTests, SVGExternalResourcesRequired, ElementTimeControl.

Extended by SVGAnimateElement, SVGSetElement, SVGAnimateMotionElement, SVGAnimateColorElement, SVGAnimateTransformElement, SVGAnimateElement, SVGSetElement, SVGAnimateMotionElement, SVGAnimateColorElement, SVGAnimateTransformElement

The SVGAnimationElement interface is the base interface for all of the animation element interfaces: SVGAnimateElement, SVGSetElement, SVGAnimateColorElement, SVGAnimateMotionElement and SVGAnimateTransformElement.

Properties
SVGAnimatedBoolean	externalResourcesRequired Corresponds to attribute ‘externalResourcesRequired’ on the given element. Note that the SVG DOM defines the attribute ‘externalResourcesRequired’ as being of type SVGAnimatedBoolean, whereas the SVG language definition says that ‘externalResourcesRequired’ is not animated.
SVGStringList	requiredExtensions Corresponds to attribute ‘requiredExtensions’ on the given element.
SVGStringList	requiredFeatures Corresponds to attribute ‘requiredFeatures’ on the given element.
SVGStringList	systemLanguage Corresponds to attribute ‘systemLanguage’ on the given element.
SVGElement	targetElement The element which is being animated.

Operations
void	beginElement() Creates a begin instance time for the current time. The new instance time is added to the begin instance times list. The behavior of this method is equivalent to beginElementAt(0).
void	beginElementAt(float offset) Creates a begin instance time for the current time plus the specified offset. The new instance time is added to the begin instance times list. Parametersfloat offset The offset from the current document time, in seconds, at which to begin the element.
void	endElement() Creates an end instance time for the current time. The new instance time is added to the end instance times list. The behavior of this method is equivalent to endElementAt(0).
void	endElementAt(float offset) Creates a end instance time for the current time plus the specified offset. The new instance time is added to the end instance times list. Parametersfloat offset offset from the current document time, in seconds, at which to end the element.
float	getCurrentTime() Returns the current time in seconds relative to time zero for the given time container. Returns The current time in seconds relative to time zero for the given time container.
float	getSimpleDuration() Returns the number of seconds for the simple duration for this animation. If the simple duration is undefined (e.g., the end time is indefinite), then an exception is raised. Returns number of seconds for the simple duration for this animation. ExceptionsDOMException, code NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR The simple duration is not determined on the given element.
float	getStartTime() Returns the begin time, in seconds, for this animation element's current interval, if it exists, regardless of whether the interval has begun yet. If there is no current interval, then a DOMException with code INVALID_STATE_ERR is thrown. Returns The start time, in seconds, of this animation element's current interval.
boolean	hasExtension(DOMString extension) Returns true if the user agent supports the given extension, specified by a URI. ParametersDOMString extension The name of the extension, expressed as a URI. Returns True or false, depending on whether the given extension is supported.
