<rect>

The <rect> element is a basic SVG shape that draws rectangles, defined by their position, width, and height. The rectangles may have their corners rounded.

Example

<svg viewBox="0 0 220 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <!-- Simple rectangle -->
  <rect width="100" height="100" />

  <!-- Rounded corner rectangle -->
  <rect x="120" width="100" height="100" rx="15" />
</svg>

Attributes

x: The x coordinate of the rect. Value type: <length>|<percentage> ; Default value: 0; Animatable: yes
y: The y coordinate of the rect. Value type: <length>|<percentage> ; Default value: 0; Animatable: yes
width: The width of the rect. Value type: auto|<length>|<percentage> ; Default value: auto; Animatable: yes
height: The height of the rect. Value type: auto|<length>|<percentage> ; Default value: auto; Animatable: yes
rx: The horizontal corner radius of the rect. Defaults to ry if it is specified. Value type: auto|<length>|<percentage> ; Default value: auto; Animatable: yes
ry: The vertical corner radius of the rect. Defaults to rx if it is specified. Value type: auto|<length>|<percentage> ; Default value: auto; Animatable: yes
pathLength: The total length of the rectangle's perimeter, in user units. Value type: <number> ; Default value: none; Animatable: yes

Note: Starting with SVG2, x, y, width, height, rx and ry are Geometry Properties, meaning those attributes can also be used as CSS properties for that element.
