title: Part.attr()
---

This `Part.attr()` method can be used to add attributes to the Part object.
It calls `this.attributes.add()` under the hood, and returns the Part object.

If the third parameter is set to `true` it will call `this.attributes.set()`
instead, thereby overwriting the value of the attribute.

## Signature

```js

Part Part.attr(
  string name,
  mixed value,
  bool overwrite = false
)

```

:::tip

This method is chainable as it returns the `Part` object

## Example

<Example caption=" Example of the Part.attr() method">

```js
;({ part, points, Point, Path, paths }) => {
  points.A = new Point(0, 0)
  points.B = new Point(0, 40)
  points.C = new Point(100, 40)

  paths.line = new Path()
    .move(points.B)
    .line(points.C)
    .line(points.A)
    .line(points.B)
    .close()
    .addText('I have been flipped!', 'left')

  paths.bbox = new Path().move(new Point(0, -40)).move(new Point(120, 60))

  part.attr('transform', 'scale(1,-1) translate(0,-40)')

  return part
}
```
