The SVGUseElement interface corresponds to the <use> element.

Properties

This interface also inherits properties from its parent interface, SVGGraphicsElement and implements properties from SVGURIReference.

SVGUseElement.x Read only
An SVGAnimatedLength corresponding to the x attribute of the given element.
SVGUseElement.y Read only
