SVGNumberList: 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 SVGNumberList interface clears all existing current 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.

Syntax

js
SVGNumberList.initialize(newItem)

Parameters

newItem

An SVGNumber item that is inserted into the list.

Return value

An SVGNumber object; the item inserted into the list.

Exceptions

NoModificationAllowedError DOMException

Thrown if SVGNumberList corresponds to a read-only attribute or when the object itself is read-only.
