defs | The defs element has no parameters |
The <defs>
element is used as a container element for elements that are intended to be used solely by reference and not rendered directly. Elements that would normally be rendered (e.g. <rect>
, <circle>
) that are declared inside a <defs>
block are treated as if their style included display:none
.
Although it's not strictly necessary, the SVG spec. recommends putting all gradient, filter, pattern, mask, symbol, and marker definitions within a defs
block.
