Pen Tool

Animated pen tool icon

The Pen Tool animated icon plays once on hover in 1.2 s, a good fit for toolbar buttons in editors and dashboards. Hover-to-play icons typically liven up arrow links, feature lists, toolbar buttons and landing page cards.

Questions about the Pen Tool icon

›Why doesn't Pen Tool restart on every mouse enter?

A run that has started plays its 1.2 s to the end, so moving in and out quickly doesn't make it stutter; the next enter after that plays it again. Keyboard focus plays it as well; a tap on a touch screen does not.

›Is Pen Tool decorative?

By default it is aria-hidden. Pass aria-label="Pen Tool" to announce it as an image, or leave it hidden when the link or button it sits in has its own text.

›Can Pen Tool play on click instead?

Yes: pass interaction="click-replay". It then replays once from the start on every click unless reduced motion is preferred.
