patternTransform

The patternTransform attribute defines a list of transform definitions that are applied to a pattern tile.

Only one element is using this attribute: <pattern>

<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">  
  <!-- Apply a transform on the tile -->
  <pattern id="p1" width=".25" height=".25"
           patternTransform="rotate(20)
                             skewX(30)
                             scale(1 0.5)">
    <circle cx="10" cy="10" r="10" />
  </pattern>
 
  <!-- Apply the transformed pattern tile -->
  <rect x="10" y="10" width="80" height="80"
        fill="url(#p1)" />
</svg>

pattern

For <pattern>, patternTransform defines a list of transform definitions that are applied to a pattern tile.

Note: As of SVG2, it is also allowed to use the CSS transform property. However, the current state of implementation isn't very good. For backward compatibility reason, it is highly suggested to keep using the patternTransform attribute.
