 The **`x`** read-only property of the {{domxref("SVGRectElement")}} interface describes the horizontal coordinate of the position of an SVG rectangle as a {{domxref("SVGAnimatedLength")}}. The `<coordinate>` is a length in the user coordinate system that is the given distance from the origin of the user coordinate system along the x-axis. Its syntax is the same as that for [`<length>`](/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Content_type#length).
