Syntax

Property values

visiblePainted: Default. The given element can be the target element for pointer events when the visibility property is set to visible and when the pointer is over a painted area. The pointer is over a painted area if it is over the interior (that is, fill) of the element and the fill property has an actual value other than none or it is over the perimeter (that is, stroke) of the element and the stroke property is set to a value other than none.
visibleFill: The given element can be the target element for pointer events when the visibility property is set to visible and when the pointer is over the interior (that is, fill) of the element. The value of the fill property does not affect event processing.
visibleStroke: The given element can be the target element for pointer events when the visibility property is set to visible and when the pointer is over the perimeter (that is, stroke) of the element. The value of the stroke property does not affect event processing.
visible: The given element can be the target element for pointer events when the visibility property is set to visible and the pointer is over either the interior (that is, fill) or the perimeter (that is, stroke) of the element. The values of the fill and stroke do not affect event processing.
painted: The given element can be the target element for pointer events when the pointer is over a painted area. The pointer is over a painted area if it is over the interior (that is, fill) of the element and the fill property has an actual value other than none or it is over the perimeter (that is, stroke) of the element and the stroke property has an actual value other than none. The value of the visibility property does not effect event processing.
fill: The given element can be the target element for pointer events when the pointer is over the interior (that is, fill) of the element. The values of the fill and visibility properties do not affect event processing.
stroke: The given element can be the target element for pointer events when the pointer is over the perimeter (that is, stroke) of the element. The values of the stroke and visibility properties do not affect event processing.
all: The given element can be the target element for pointer events whenever the pointer is over either the interior (that is, fill) or the perimeter (that is, stroke) of the element. The values of the fill, stroke and visibility properties do not affect event processing.
none: The given element does not receive pointer events.
inherit: A value that indicates that the property takes the same computed value as the property for the element's parent.
