Animations
Updated on Sep 15, 2025
The RadSvgImage control has a built-in support for animations.
Applying Animations
To apply an animation to the displayed SVG image, you can utilize the animate, animateMotion, and animateTransform elements inside the SVG's XML.
To learn more about the above-mentioned elements, check the animate, animateMotion, and animateTransform articles.
