Avoid using this feature in new projects. SVG 2 omittted some parts of SVG 1.1 to "improv[e] the usability and precision of the language." This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.>
Consider using the following features instead: SVG or @font-face.>
The glyph-orientation-horizontal attribute affects the amount that the current text position advances as each glyph is rendered.
When the reference orientation direction is horizontal and the glyph-orientation-horizontal results in an orientation angle that is a multiple of 180 degrees, then the current text position is incremented according to the horizontal metrics of the glyph. Otherwise, if the value of this attribute is not a multiple of 180 degrees, then the current text position is incremented according to the vertical metrics of the glyph.
This attribute is applied only to text written in a horizontal writing-mode.
Note:
As a presentation attribute, glyph-orientation-horizontal also has a CSS property counterpart: glyph-orientation-horizontal. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
Context notes
| Value |
<angle>
|
|---|---|
| Default value | 0deg |
| Animatable | No |
<angle>-
The value of the angle is restricted to 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees. If another angle is specified, it is rounded to the closest of the permitted values. A value of
0degindicates that all glyphs are set with the top of the glyphs oriented towards the reference orientation. A value of90degindicates an orientation of 90 degrees clockwise from the reference orientation.
