cx

Note: As a geometry property, cx can also be used as CSS property for <circle> and <ellipse>.

html,
body,
svg {
 height: 100%;
}

<svg viewBox="0 0 300 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
 <radialGradient cx="25%" id="myGradient">
 <stop offset="0" stop-color="white" />
 <stop offset="100%" stop-color="black" />
 </radialGradient>
 <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="45" />
 <ellipse cx="150" cy="50" rx="45" ry="25" />
 <rect x="205" y="5" width="90" height="90" fill="url(#myGradient)" />
</svg>

Note: The x-axis coordinate of the center of the <circle> can also be defined with the cx geometry property. If set in CSS, the cx property value overrides the cx attribute value.
