Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.

The <circle> SVG element is an SVG basic shape, used to draw circles based on a center point and a radius.

Example

html,
body,
svg {
  height: 100%;
}

html

<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="50" />
</svg>

Attributes

cx: The x-axis coordinate of the center of the circle. Value type: <length>|<percentage> ; Default value: 0; Animatable: yes
cy: The y-axis coordinate of the center of the circle. Value type: <length>|<percentage> ; Default value: 0; Animatable: yes
r: The radius of the circle. A value lower or equal to zero disables rendering of the circle. Value type: <length>|<percentage> ; Default value: 0; Animatable: yes
pathLength: The total length for the circle's circumference, in user units. Value type: <number> ; Default value: none; Animatable: yes
