12.2 How Time Is Measured
SVG's animation clock starts ticking when the SVG has finished loading, and it stops ticking when the user leaves the page.You may specify a beginning or duration for a particular animation segment as a numeric value in one of these ways:
- A full clock value in hours, minutes, and seconds (1:20:23).
- A partial clock value in minutes and seconds (02:15).
-
A time value followed by an abbreviation that is one of h (hours), min (minutes), s
(seconds), or ms (milliseconds), for example, dur="3.5s" begin="1min".
You may not put any whitespace between the value and the unit. If no unit is specified, the default is seconds.
