You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

- {{SVGElement("animate")}}
- {{SVGElement("animateColor")}}
- {{SVGElement("animateMotion")}}
- {{SVGElement("animateTransform")}}
- {{SVGElement("set")}}

## Example

```css hidden
html, body, svg {
  height: 100%;
}
```

```html
<svg viewBox="0 0 120 120" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <circle cx="60" cy="10" r="10">
    <animate attributeName="cx" dur="4s" min="2s" repeatCount="indefinite"
        values="60 ; 110 ; 60 ; 10 ; 60" keyTimes="0 ; 0.25 ; 0.5 ; 0.75 ; 1"/>
