Default value
0
Animatable
Yes (non-additive)
auto
This value indicates that the marker is oriented such that its positive x-axis is pointing in a direction relative to the path at the position the marker is placed.
auto-start-reverse
If placed by marker-start
, the marker is oriented 180° different from the orientation that would be used if auto
were specified. For all other markers, auto-start-reverse
means the same as auto
.
Note:
This allows a single arrowhead marker to be defined that can be used for both the start and end of a path, i.e., which points outwards from both ends.
<angle>
This value indicates that the marker is oriented such that the specified angle is that measured between the shape's positive x-axis and the marker's positive x-axis.
Note:
For example, if a value of 45
is given, then the marker's positive x-axis would be pointing down and right in the shape's coordinate system.
<number>
This value indicates an angle in degrees. The marker is oriented such that the specified angle is that measured between the shape's positive x-axis and the marker's positive x-axis.
