How to Create a Triangle Using CSS clip-path?
On a web page, you can create a triangle easily. Use the clip-path property or even the child selector concept can be used. The clip-path allows a user to clip an element to a shape. This shape is to be set polygon to create a triangle.
Syntax
The syntax of CSS clip-path property is as follows −
Selector {
clip-path: /*value*/
}
Create a Triangle using the clip-path
The following example illustrate CSS clip-path property. Here, we have set the clip-path shape to polygon to create a triangle. This is done using the polygon() method −
clip-path: polygon(50% 0, 100% 100%, 0% 100%);
Example
The following example uses the polygon() to create a triangle −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
div {
padding: 10%;
border-radius: 2%;
width: 10%;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 80px violet;
clip-path: polygon(50% 0, 100% 100%, 0% 100%);
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div></div>
</body>
</html>
Create multiple triangles with child selector
The child selector can be used to crate multiple triangle shapes. Here, we have a div inside div i.e., div > div −
div > div {
height: 12px;
border-top: 40px ridge orange;
border-right: 20px solid white;
border-bottom: 60px ridge cornflowerblue;
border-left: 80px solid white;
}
Example
The following example selects all <div> elements that are children of a <div> −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
div {
display: flex;
margin: 10px 0 20px;
}
div > div {
height: 12px;
border-top: 40px ridge orange;
border-right: 20px solid white;
border-bottom: 60px ridge cornflowerblue;
border-left: 80px solid white;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
