SVGLengthList: initialize() method

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 initialize() method of the SVGLengthList interface clears all existing items from the list and re-initializes the list to hold the single item specified by the parameter. If the inserted item is already in a list, it is removed from its previous list before it is inserted into this list. The inserted item is the item itself and not a copy. The return value is the item inserted into the list.

Syntax

js
initialize(newItem)

Parameters

newItem

The SVGLength to add to the list.

Return value

The SVGLength that was added to the list.

Exceptions

DOMException NoModificationAllowedError

Thrown when the list is read-only.

Examples
