SVGPointList: clear() 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 clear() method of the SVGPointList interface removes all items from the list.
Syntax
js
clear()
Parameters
None.
Return value
None (undefined).
Exceptions
NoModificationAllowedErrorDOMException-
Thrown if the list is read-only.
Examples
The following example shows an SVG which contains a <polyline> with five coordinate pairs. Calling clear() empties the list. Therefore the polyline no longer displays in the SVG.
html
<svg id="svg" viewBox="-10 -10 120 120" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<polyline
id="example"
stroke="black"
fill="none"
points="50,0 21,90 98,35 2,35 79,90" />
</svg>
js
let example = document.getElementById("example");
example.points.clear();
