{{SVGRef}}

The **`flood-opacity`** attribute indicates the opacity value to use across the current filter primitive subregion.

> **Note:** As a presentation attribute, `flood-opacity` can be used as a CSS property.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

*   {{SVGElement("feFlood")}} and {{SVGElement("feDropShadow")}}

## Example

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

```html
<svg viewBox="0 0 420 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <filter id="flood1">
    <feFlood flood-color="seagreen" flood-opacity="1" x="0" y="0" width="200" height="200"/>
  </filter>
  <filter id="flood2">
    <feFlood flood-color="seagreen" flood-opacity="0.3" x="0" y="0" width="200" height="200"/>
  </filter>

  <rect x="0" y="0" width="200" height="200" style="filter: url(#flood1);" />
  <rect x="0" y="0" width="200" height="200" style="filter: url(#flood2); transform: translateX(220px);" />
</svg>
```
