CSS Conic Gradients
CSS Conic Gradients
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
background-image: conic-gradient([from angle] [at position,] color [degree], color [degree], ...);
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:
#grad {
background-image: conic-gradient(red, yellow, green);
}

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:
#grad {
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
#grad {
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
#grad {
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:
#grad {
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:
#grad {
background-image: conic-gradient(at 60% 45%, red, yellow,
green);
}

Repeating a Conic Gradient
The repeating-conic-gradient() function is used to repeat conic gradients:
Example
A repeating conic gradient:
#grad {
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:
#grad {
background-image: repeating-conic-gradient(red 0deg 10deg, yellow 10deg 20deg, blue 20deg 30deg);
border-radius: 50%;
}
