title: Snippet
---
A Snippet is a reuseable bit of markup for your pattern. They are added to the
SVG `defs` section, and rendered with the SVG `use` tag.
## Signature
```js
Snippet new Snippet(def, Point);
```
The snippet constructor takes two arguments:
- `def` : The `xlink:href` id that links to the relevant entry in the SVG `defs` section
- `anchor` : A [`Point`](/reference/api/point) on which to anchor the snippet
## Attributes
A Snippet object comes with the following properties:
- `def` : The `xlink:href` id that links to the relevant entry in the SVG `defs` section
- `anchor` : A [`Point`](/reference/api/point) on which to anchor the snippet
- `attributes` : An [`Attributes`](/reference/api/attributes) instance holding the snippet's attributes
## Example
<Example caption="Example of the Snippet constructor">
```js
({ Point, Snippet, snippets, Path, paths, part }) => {
snippets.logo = new Snippet('logo', new Point(0,0))
// Prevent clipping
paths.diag = new Path()
.move(new Point(-25,-40))
.move(new Point(25,15))
return part
}
```
</Example>
