Setting Direction of Linear Gradients using Angles in CSS
For more control over the direction of the gradient, define angle under the linear-gradient() method of the background-image property. This gives more control over the gradient direction −
Value 0deg is the "to top" direction
Value 90deg is the "to right" direction
Value of 180deg is the "to bottom" direction
The following is the syntax −
background-image: linear-gradient(angle, color-stop1, color-stop2);
Set the angle of the linear gradient
The following is the code for setting the direction of linear gradients using angles in CSS.
.linearGradient {
background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, rgb(255, 0, 200), yellow);
}
.linearGradient1 {
background-image: linear-gradient(-90deg, rgb(255, 0, 200), yellow);
}
Example
Here is the example −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
font-family: "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
}
div {
height: 200px;
width: 300px;
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.linearGradient {
background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, rgb(255, 0, 200), yellow);
}
.linearGradient1 {
background-image: linear-gradient(-90deg, rgb(255, 0, 200), yellow);
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Linear Gradient direction using angles</h1>
<div class="linearGradient"></div>
<div class="linearGradient1"></div>
</body>
</html>
Set the angle of the linear gradient with color stops
The angle of the linear gradient is set first, and then comes the color stops −
Spain:lang(es){
background-image: linear-gradient(red 25%, yellow 25%, yellow 75%, red 75%);
}
.Italy:lang(it){
background-image:linear-gradient(90deg, #00ae00 33.3%, white 33.3%, white 66.6%, red 66.6%);
}
.Germany:lang(nl){
background-image:linear-gradient(90deg, black 33.3%, yellow 33.3%, yellow 66.6%, red 66.6%);
}
Example
Here is the example −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
div {
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.Italy:lang(it)::after {
padding: 20px;
content: '~ Italy';
font-style: italic;
}
.Spain:lang(es)::after {
padding: 8px;
content: '~ Spain';
font-style: italic;
}
.Germany:lang(nl)::after {
padding: 20px;
content: '~ Belgium';
font-style: italic;
}
.Spain:lang(es){
background-image: linear-gradient(red 25%, yellow 25%, yellow 75%, red 75%);
}
.Italy:lang(it){
background-image:linear-gradient(90deg, #00ae00 33.3%, white 33.3%, white 66.6%, red 66.6%);
}
.Germany:lang(nl){
background-image:linear-gradient(90deg, black 33.3%, yellow 33.3%, yellow 66.6%, red 66.6%);
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="Italy" lang='it'>Rome</div>
<div class="Germany" lang='nl'>Brussels</div>
<div class="Spain" lang='es'>Madrid</div>
</body>
</html>
Set a linear gradient for the background image
The linear gradient is set using the background-image property with the value linear-gradient(). The image is set using the url() −
background-image: linear-gradient( rgba(185, 255, 243, 0.5), rgba(31, 12, 117, 0.5) ), url("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/assets/profiles/123055/profile/200_187394-1565938756.jpg");
Example
Let us see the example −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body,
html {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
font-family: "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
}
*,
*::before,
*::after {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
h1 {
font-size: 60px;
font-weight: bolder;
}
.heroContainer {
background-image: linear-gradient( rgba(185, 255, 243, 0.5), rgba(31, 12, 117, 0.5) ),
url("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/assets/profiles/123055/profile/200_187394-1565938756.jpg");
height: 50%;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
position: relative;
}
.heroCaption {
text-align: center;
position: absolute;
top: 20%;
left: 45%;
color: white;
}
.heroCaption button {
border: none;
outline: none;
display: inline-block;
padding: 20px;
color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
opacity: 0.8;
font-size: 20px;
background-color: rgb(47, 151, 21);
text-align: center;
cursor: pointer;
}
.heroCaption button:hover {
opacity: 1;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="heroContainer">
<div class="heroCaption">
<h1>I am Amit</h1>
<h2>And I'm an Entrepreneur</h2>
<button>Contact Me</button>
