# mask

The mask element defines an alpha mask for compositing the current object into the background. A mask is used/referenced using the mask property.

Usually, this element is create with:

const mask = parentElement.add('mask')

It's possible create as a disconnected element with gySVG('mask') and attach it to the SVG document with .attachTo().
