# blink attribute

The blink attribute specifies whether an object, an object's background, an object's caption text, or the portion of the object that is at or above a threshold blinks at run time. The blink rate is twice per second.

Graphic object elements, imageSettings elements, threshold elements and caption elements contain this attribute.

Tip: | If the object has a configured patternStyle attribute, the pattern also blinks when the object is in this state.
