CSS Radial Gradients
CSS Radial Gradients
A radial gradient is defined by its center.
To create a radial gradient you must also define at least two color stops.
Syntax
background-image: radial-gradient(shape size at position, start-color, ..., last-color);
By default, shape is ellipse, size is farthest-corner, and position is center.
Radial Gradient - Evenly Spaced Color Stops (this is default)
The following example shows a radial gradient with evenly spaced color stops:
Radial Gradient - Differently Spaced Color Stops
The following example shows a radial gradient with differently spaced color stops:
Example
#grad {
background-image: radial-gradient(red 5%, yellow 15%, green 60%);
}

Set Shape
The shape parameter defines the shape. It can take the value circle or ellipse. The default value is ellipse.
The following example shows a radial gradient with the shape of a circle:
Use of Different Size Keywords
The size parameter defines the size of the gradient. It can take four values:
- closest-side
- farthest-side
- closest-corner
- farthest-corner
Example
A radial gradient with different size keywords:
#grad1 {
background-image: radial-gradient(closest-side at 60% 55%, red, yellow,
black);
}
#grad2 {
background-image: radial-gradient(farthest-side at 60%
55%, red, yellow, black);
}

Repeating a radial-gradient
The repeating-radial-gradient() function is used to repeat radial gradients:
Example
A repeating radial gradient:
#grad {
background-image:
repeating-radial-gradient(red, yellow 10%, green 15%);
}
