The appendItem() method of the SVGPointList interface adds a DOMPoint to the end of the list.

Syntax

appendItem(obj)

Examples

The following example shows an SVG which contains a <polyline> with five coordinate pairs. A new DOMPoint is created, and appended to the list.

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>
