How can I paint a sector only with border-radius? - html

As we know, in CSS, we can use:
width : 100px; height : 100px; border-radius : 100% 0 0 0;
To paint a sector with 90deg; and I want to use this way to paint a sector with any deg. But the front sector doesn't cover perfectly. It leaks a slice of red sector and I don't know how to handle it.
body {
background-color: #fbb;
}
.box {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
position: relative;
background-color: #f00;
border-radius: 100% 0 0;
}
.box::after {
content: '';
display: block;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #fbb;
border-radius: 100% 0 0;
-webkit-transform-origin: 100% 100%;
transform-origin: 100% 100%;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
transform: rotate(45deg);
}
<div class="box"></div>

You can cheat a bit and shift the whole overlay with an additional transform.
body {
background-color: #fbb;
}
.box {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
position: relative;
background-color: #f00;
border-radius: 100% 0 0;
}
.box::after {
content: '';
display: block;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #fbb;
border-radius: 100% 0 0;
transform-origin: 100% 100%;
transform: rotate(45deg) translate(-1px, 0px); /* <---- here */
}
<div class="box"></div>
It also seems to work by shifting the transform origin slightly.
body {
background-color: #fbb;
}
.box {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
position: relative;
background-color: #f00;
border-radius: 100% 0 0;
}
.box::after {
content: '';
display: block;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #fbb;
border-radius: 100% 0 0;
transform-origin: 101% 100%; /* <---- here */
transform: rotate(45deg);
}
<div class="box"></div>
You could also use a sharp box shadow.
body {
background-color: #fbb;
}
.box {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
position: relative;
background-color: #f00;
border-radius: 100% 0 0;
}
.box::after {
content: '';
display: block;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #fbb;
border-radius: 100% 0 0;
transform-origin: 100% 100%;
transform: rotate(45deg);
box-shadow: 0 0 0 .5px #fbb; /* <---- here */
}
<div class="box"></div>
None of these are mathematically perfect, but they may suit your practical needs.

How to close the gap between two rotated rectangles forming a V?

So there are these two rotated rectangles forming a V:
div {
position: relative;
left: 100px;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 100px;
}
div::before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
transform: rotate(-45deg);
transform-origin: bottom right;
width: 20px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
}
div::after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
transform: rotate(45deg);
transform-origin: bottom left;
width: 20px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
}
<div></div>
Now how to close the gap between them? First I thought the key would be transform-origin. But no matter what is set there, it doesn't result in a isosceles V without a gap.
If you're already using transforms, you could add a translate to each and just offset them till they cross over
html {
font-size: 16px;
}
div {
position: relative;
left: 100px;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 100px;
}
div::before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
transform: translateX(0.523em) rotate(-45deg);
transform-origin: bottom;
width: 1.25rem;
height: 6.25rem;
background: blue;
border: 2px solid blue;
}
div::after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
transform: translateX(-0.53rem) rotate(45deg);
transform-origin: bottom;
width: 1.25rem;
height: 6.25rem;
background: red;
border: 2px solid red;
}
<div></div>
You have to update transform-origin like below. You don't need to consider bottom but a slightly upper than bottom (100% - 10px). 10px is half the width
div {
position: relative;
left: 100px;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 100px;
width: 20px;
height: 100px;
}
div::before,
div::after{
content: '';
position: absolute;
inset: 0;
transform: rotate(-45deg);
transform-origin: 50% calc(100% - 10px);
background: red;
}
div::after {
transform: rotate(45deg);
background: blue;
}
<div></div>

gear icon using a single div in pure css

How do I add 2 more points at the top and bottom? I don't know what approach to take from here?
The original picture of a gear wheel has an angle to the sides of each tooth.
However, I notice that in your part-solution you aren't worried about that and have parallel edges.
Here's a snippet that puts in all 6 teeth with parallel edges.
It uses before and after pseudo elements which had stripes as background and are rotated. The main div also has a stripe for a background but additionally a radial gradient with white and black circles.
.cog {
width: 30vmin;
height: 30vmin;
position: relative;
background-image: radial-gradient(white 0 35%, black 35% 70%, transparent 70% 100%), linear-gradient(to right, black, black);
background-size: 70% 70%, 25% 100%;
}
.cog::before,
.cog::after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-image: linear-gradient(to right, black, black);
background-size: 25% 100%;
z-index: -1;
}
.cog,
.cog::before,
.cog::after {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
transform-origin: center;
}
.cog::before {
transform: rotate(60deg);
}
.cog::after {
transform: rotate(120deg);
}
<div class="cog"></div>
Here's what it produces:
To get more sophisticated shape - such as the slope on the teeth, you could do more with gradients or just CSS clip-path (though by the time you've done this you probably might as well have created an SVG).
Well, of course SVG is better, but since your question is more of a challenge, here is my solution:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.icon {
position: relative;
background: beige;
height: 160px;
width: 160px;
}
.wheel {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
margin: auto;
width: 32px;
height: 32px;
background: beige;
border-radius: 50%;
border: solid 24px brown;
}
.cog {
position: absolute;
width: 24px;
height: 120px;
border-radius: 6px;
background: brown;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
margin: auto;
}
.cog:nth-child(2) {
transform: rotate(45deg);
}
.cog:nth-child(3) {
transform: rotate(90deg)
}
.cog:nth-child(4) {
transform: rotate(135deg)
}

Limit hover area of CSS shapes to :after

I am trying to make a sort of Venn-Diagram that is going to be used for navigation later.
I have three intersecting ellipsoids created with CSS shapes. Each ellipsoid, as well as their two intersections, will be distinct links later on. Also, when you hover over them they should pop out as per transform: scale(1.3).
My issue is that I'm using ellipsoids which are partially transparent with :after to create the intersections, which creates a problem when hovering over them because the :hover condition gets triggered when hovering anywhere on the partially transparent ellipsoid and not just the :after part. This means that the nonintersecting areas are not hoverable because they are obstructed by the other invisible ellipsoid.
I think the example will make this clearer.
Here is the code:
CSS:
.venn-container{position: relative; left: 0;}
.cat_one{
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
background: red;
border-radius: 200px / 100px;
position: absolute;
float: left;
opacity: 0.5;
}
.cat_two{
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
background: green;
border-radius: 200px / 100px;
position: absolute;
float: left;
left: 240px;
opacity: 0.5;
}
.cat_three{
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
background: blue;
border-radius: 200px / 100px;
position: absolute;
float: left;
left: 480px;
opacity: 0.5;
}
.int1{
background: transparent;
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
border-radius: 200px / 100px;
position: relative;
opacity: 0.5;
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
}
.int1:after{
background: black;
position: absolute;
content: '';
border-radius: 200px / 100px;
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
left: 240px;
}
.int1:hover{
transform: scale(1.3);
left: -35px;
}
.int2{
background: transparent;
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
border-radius: 200px / 100px;
position: relative;
opacity: 0.5;
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
left: 80px;
}
.int2:after{
background: black;
position: absolute;
content: '';
border-radius: 200px / 100px;
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
left: -240px;
}
.int2:hover{
transform: scale(1.3);
left: 115px;
}
HTML:
<div class="venn-container">
<div class="cat_one"></div>
<div class="cat_two"></div>
<div class="cat_three"></div>
<div class="int1"></div>
<div class="int2"></div>
</div>
And here is a fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/y3Lvmuqg/2/
I would like the :hover to only get triggered in the intersections, and later make cat_one and cat_two hoverable outside the intersections.
I don't know if there is a way I'm doing this is the best and I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks for getting back to me #ge0rg I spent about an hour fiddling with CSS and HTML and came up with this code using just divs with background colors, hover events and border radius's (along with a few z-index and positioning techniques).
Hope you enjoy your reworked venn diagram...
You may have to mess around with the size, and definetly will have to mess with the positioning (however they're all inside a div and so it makes it so that you can just position the div and the rest will happen magically) I added a background color to the div just to show that nothing was transparent, and I also added a always on top function for viewing a section, and I hope you enjoy!

How do I create a cut-out hexagon shape?

How can I create a cut-out hexagon shape using CSS?
By cut-out hexagon shape I mean something like this:
I was able to create a hexagon with a background image, but I need it to be like in the image.
.hexagon {
position: relative;
width: 300px;
height: 173.21px;
margin: 86.60px 0;
background-image: url('https://placeimg.com/300/400/any');
background-size: auto 346.4102px;
background-position: center;
}
.hexTop,
.hexBottom {
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
width: 212.13px;
height: 212.13px;
overflow: hidden;
-webkit-transform: scaleY(0.5774) rotate(-45deg);
-ms-transform: scaleY(0.5774) rotate(-45deg);
transform: scaleY(0.5774) rotate(-45deg);
background: inherit;
left: 43.93px;
}
/* Counter transform the background image on the caps */
.hexTop:after,
.hexBottom:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 300.0000px;
height: 173.20508075688775px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg) scaleY(1.7321) translateY(-86.6025px);
-ms-transform: rotate(45deg) scaleY(1.7321) translateY(-86.6025px);
transform: rotate(45deg) scaleY(1.7321) translateY(-86.6025px);
-webkit-transform-origin: 0 0;
-ms-transform-origin: 0 0;
transform-origin: 0 0;
background: inherit;
}
.hexTop {
top: -106.0660px;
}
.hexTop:after {
background-position: center top;
}
.hexBottom {
bottom: -106.0660px;
}
.hexBottom:after {
background-position: center bottom;
}
.hexagon:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 0.0000px;
left: 0;
width: 300.0000px;
height: 173.2051px;
z-index: 2;
background: inherit;
}
<div class="hexagon">
<div class="hexTop"></div>
<div class="hexBottom"></div>
</div>
For this transparent cut-out hexagon, I would suggest using an inline SVG with the path element:
svg{
display: block;
width: 70%;
height: auto;
margin: 0 auto;
}
path{
transition: fill .5s;
fill: #E3DFD2;
}
path:hover{
fill: pink;
}
body{background:url('https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8760/17195790401_ceeeafcddb_o.jpg');background-position:center;background-size:cover;}
<svg viewbox="-10 -2 30 14">
<path d=" M-10 -2 H30 V14 H-10z M2.5 0.66 L0 5 2.5 9.33 7.5 9.33 10 5 7.5 0.66z" />
</svg>
Hexagon mask point calculations:
The hexagon coordiantes are pretty easy to calculate. For a regular hexagon in the above orientation:
width = height / sin(60deg)
sin(60deg) ~=0.866
If width is 10 (like in the above example) the coordinates are:
You can find these coordinate in the d attribute after the second M.
Why use SVG?
The main advantages of using SVG in this case are:
Maintainability (example: imagine you need to change the color of the mask. In SVG it is clear what you need to change and there is only one attribute to change.)
Shorter code
You can easily use an image or gradient to fill the mask
Maintain the boundaries of the shape and trigger mouse envents only over the fill respecting the mask (hover the transparent hexagon in the example).
Original example with the mask element:
body{background:url('https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8760/17195790401_ceeeafcddb_o.jpg');background-position:center;background-size:cover;}
svg{
display: block;
width: 70%;
height: auto;
margin: 0 auto;
}
<svg viewbox="-10 -2 30 14" >
<defs>
<mask id="mask" x="0" y="0" width="10" height="10">
<rect x="-10" y="-2" width="40" height="16" fill="#fff"/>
<polygon points="2.5 0.66 7.5 0.66 10 5 7.5 9.33 2.5 9.33 0 5" />
</mask>
</defs>
<rect x="-10" y="-5" width="30" height="20" mask="url(#mask)" fill="#E3DFD2"/>
</svg>
This type of shape can be achieved by filling the outer part of the hexagon using elements. Different transform:rotate(xdeg) should be applied to each element to achieve this effect.
Here is a snippet creating this effect.
Note: The below snippet is supposed to be responsive, so if it appears broken, see the one below it.

This is how the cut-out hexagon works:
SVG is the best tool for such things and the biggest contributing factor towards that is that it is easier to create and maintain such shapes as SVG.
But these can be done with CSS transform in another way with simpler transforms also. All we need to do is make use of skew transform and set skew angle based on the shape that is required.
For hexagons, the angle between each side is 120 degrees and so the elements have to be skewed by +/- 30 degrees. For pentagons, the angle between each side is 108 degrees and so skew angles on the bottom half would be +/- 18 degrees but the top half would have +/- 36 degrees. For diamond, the angle between each side is 90 degrees and so the skew angles would be +/-45 degrees.
A few positive points of this approach are: (not that SVG doesn't have these)
The shapes created using this approach are responsive (try hovering on the shapes in demo)
Transforms are pretty well supported given that IE8 is on the way out (Microsoft themselves are stopping support for IE8 from Jan '16). This is not bad when compared with SVG because SVG has the same browser support.
There are quite a few drawbacks of using CSS though:
Extra elements are required in-order to produce the shape.
These would work only in IE9+ (that is, browsers that support transforms). The drawback is not in comparison with SVG but in general.
Fill for the area other than the cut-out cannot be a gradient or an image. It can only be solid color.
Hover effects can be added (as shown in the demo) but it will triggered when the mouse is over the cut-out area also because it is still a part of the container even though it is transparent.

This answer illustrates the costs of using only one element
SVG is the tool for this. Any CSS alternative will probably be very hacky and quirky, so I say the best is to use SVG.
Using CSS
Properties used are:
box-shadows (for color around transparent region)
perspective transforms, rotation
overflow hidden
pseudoelement
body {
background:url('http://i.imgur.com/TYP4Xka.jpg');
}
#box {
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
position: relative;
box-shadow: inset 70px 0 0 #444, inset -70px 0 0 #444, inset 0 0 0 50px #444;
overflow: hidden;
}
#box:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
height: 150px;
width: 259.8px; /* w = h * sqrt(3) bcoz w = 2*h*cos(30deg) */
top: 125px; /* (parentHeight - pseudoHeight)/2 */
left: 70.1px; /* (parentWidth - pseudoWidth)/2 */
-webkit-transform: rotate(60deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(60deg);
transform: rotate(60deg);
box-shadow: 70px 0 0 #444, -70px 0 0 #444;
}
#box:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
height: 150px;
width: 259.8px;
top: 125px;
left: 70.1px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(120deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(120deg);
transform: rotate(120deg);
box-shadow: 70px 0 0 #444, -70px 0 0 #444;
}
<div id="box"></div>
NOTE
You can also kind off morph the shape around in an animation, but be warned. Do not use a lot of box-shadows for anything, especially for animation. Box- shadow has a very high CPU usage.

How to create a triangle in CSS3 using border-radius

I am using border-radius property to acheive rounded corners. But I am not sure how to get rounded corners of this shape. I tried giving same dimensions from either sides but they just dont give me the exact shape. Am I missing some CSS3 property here.
Just wondering if clip css property is the answer.
UPDATE:
http://jsfiddle.net/YWnzc/136/
Demo
#player {
margin: 32px;
position: relative;
width: 400px;
height: 250px;
background-color: #222;
}
#inner {
transform: rotate(45deg);
background-color: silver;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
top: 20px;
left: -50px;
position: relative;
border-radius: 20px;
}
#outer {
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
left: 165px;
width: 70px;
height: 140px;
overflow: hidden;
}
<div id="player">
<div id="outer">
<div id="inner"></div>
</div>
</div>
This should produce:
The effect is achieved by creating a square, rotating it with a CSS transform, rounding the corners, and clipping it with an outer box. The inner element can be adjusted as desired, so it is somewhat flexible.
http://css3shapes.com/ has some nice examples (note the heart at the bottom of the page)
Alternatives
SVG images support shapes of this type and are supported in all modern browsers. Simple SVGs can be coded by hand as XML, and there are a variety of free/paid editors for working with them.

If I have understood your question properly. I think you can use something like below:
CSS:
#box{ border-color: transparent transparent transparent #FFFFFF;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 50px 0 50px 75px;
height: 0;
left: -40px;
margin: 40px;
position: absolute;
width: 0;
}
#outerbox{ background:red;
height: 300px;
position: relative;
width: 122px;
}
HTML
<div id="outerbox"><div id="box"></div></div>
