SVG feBlend Element
Complete SVG Reference
Definition and Usage
The SVG feBlend element is used to composite two objects together using different
blending modes.
The mode attribute defines the image blending mode. The mode attribute can
take one of the following values:
- normal (default)
- multiply
- screen
- darken
- lighten
The in2 attribute defines the second input image to the blending operation.
This attribute can take on the same values as the in attribute.
Example 1
The following example shows examples of the five blend modes.
Copy the following code into Notepad and save
the file as "feblend_1.svg". Place the file in your Web directory:
