CSS Conic Gradients
CSS Conic Gradients
The CSS
conic-gradient() function creates a conic gradient.
A conic gradient is a gradient with color transitions rotated around a center point.
To create a conic gradient you must define at least two colors.
Syntax
By default, angle is 0deg and position is center.
If no degree is specified, the colors will be spread equally around the center point.
Conic Gradient: Three Colors
The following example shows a conic gradient with three colors:
Example
A conic gradient with three colors:
background-image: conic-gradient(red, yellow, green);
}
Conic Gradient: Five Colors
The following example shows a conic gradient with five colors:
Example
A conic gradient with five colors:
background-image: conic-gradient(red, yellow, green, blue, black);
}
Conic Gradient: Three Colors and Degrees
The following example shows a conic gradient with three colors and a degree for each color:
Example
A conic gradient with three colors and a degree for each color:
background-image: conic-gradient(red 45deg, yellow 90deg, green 210deg);
}
Create Pie Charts
Just add
border-radius: 50% to make the conic gradient look like a pie:
Example
background-image: conic-gradient(red, yellow, green, blue, black);
border-radius: 50%;
}
Here is another pie chart with defined degrees for all the colors:
Example
background-image: conic-gradient(red 0deg, red 90deg, yellow 90deg, yellow 180deg, green 180deg, green 270deg, blue 270deg);
border-radius: 50%;
}
Conic Gradient With Specified From Angle
The [from angle] specifies an angle that the entire conic gradient is rotated by.
The following example shows a conic gradient with a from angle of 90deg:
Example
A conic gradient with a from angle:
background-image: conic-gradient(from 90deg, red, yellow, green);
}
Conic Gradient With Specified Center Position
The [at position] specifies the center of the conic gradient.
The following example shows a conic gradient with a center position of 60% 45%:
Example
A conic gradient with a specified center position:
background-image: conic-gradient(at 60% 45%, red, yellow, green);
}
Repeating a Conic Gradient
The CSS
repeating-conic-gradient() function is used to repeat conic gradients:
Example
A repeating conic gradient:
background-image: repeating-conic-gradient(red 10%, yellow 20%);
border-radius: 50%;
}
Here is a repeating conic gradient with defined color-starts and color-stops:
Example
A repeating conic gradient with defined color-starts and color-stops:
background-image: repeating-conic-gradient(red 0deg 10deg, yellow 10deg 20deg, blue 20deg 30deg);
border-radius: 50%;
}
