mask-type - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets 编辑

The mask-type CSS property sets whether an SVG <mask> element is used as a luminance or an alpha mask. It applies to the <mask> element itself.

/* Keyword values */
mask-type: luminance;
mask-type: alpha;

/* Global values */
mask-type: inherit;
mask-type: initial;
mask-type: unset;

This property may be overridden by the mask-mode property, which has the same effect but applies to the element where the mask is used. Alpha masks will generally be faster to render.

Syntax

The mask-type property is specified as one of the keyword values listed below.

Values

luminance

Is a keyword indicating that the associated mask image is a luminance mask, i.e., that its relative luminance values must be used when applying it.

alpha

Is a keyword indicating that the associated mask image is an alpha mask, i.e., that its alpha channel values must be used when applying it.

Formal definition
