It is use to create background using mixing of two or more colors.

a) Background linear gradient

It is use to create smooth transition of two or more color in background.

 

Syntax -

background-image:linear-gradient(direction, color1,color2, ...);

 

Values

direction

It is use to show direction of color gradient

To right , to left ,to top, to top left, to top right ,to bottom , to bottom left , to bottom right .

Also use direction as a degree

90deg,180deg, 60deg, 45deg , 25deg, 30deg, 360deg , 15deg or degree.

color It is use to describe colors value to be use in a color gradient.

 

For example -

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
	<meta charset="UTF-8">
	<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
	<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
	<title>Teknowize</title>

	<style>
		h1 {
			background-image: linear-gradient(to right, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet);
			text-align: center;
			color: #fff;
		}
	</style>
</head>

<body>
	<h1>Welcome to Teknowize</h1>
</body>

</html>

 

Output

background gradient

 

b) Background repeating linear gradient

It is use to create smooth transition of two or more color in background with repeat same gradient according to width.

 

Syntax -

background-image:repeating-linear-gradient(direction, color1,color2, ...);

 

Values

 
direction

It is use to show direction of color gradient

To right , to left ,to top, to top left, to top right ,to bottom , to bottom left , to bottom right .

Also use direction as a degree

90deg,180deg, 60deg, 45deg , 25deg, 30deg, 360deg , 15deg or degree.

color It is use to describe colors value to be use in a color gradient. And also need to show color percentage for repeat color gradient.

 

For example -

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
	<meta charset="UTF-8">
	<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
	<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
	<title>Teknowize</title>

	<style>
		h1 {
			background-image: repeating-linear-gradient(red, yellow 10%, green 20%);
			text-align: center;
			color: #fff;
		}
	</style>
</head>

<body>
	<h1>Welcome to Teknowize</h1>
</body>

</html>

 

Output

background gradient

 

c) Background radial gradient

It is use to create smooth transition of two or more color in background in the shape of circle or sphere.

 

Syntax -

background-image: radial-gradient(shape size position,color1,color2, ...);

 

Values

 
shape

There are two type of shape in radial gradiant.

  • ellipse (default)
  • circle
size

There are four size of the radial gradient.

  • farthest-corner (default)
  • closest-side
  • closest-corner
  • farthest-side
position

Default position is center.

 

For example -

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
	<meta charset="UTF-8">
	<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
	<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
	<title>Teknowize</title>

	<style>
		h1 {
			background-image: radial-gradient(circle, blue, green, yellow, black);
			height: 200px;
			width: 200px;
			border-radius: 50%;
		}
	</style>
</head>

<body>
	<h1></h1>
</body>

</html>

 

Output

background gradient

 

d) Background repeating radial gradient

It is use to create smooth transition of two or more color in background in the shape of circle or sphere with repeate same color according to width and height.

 

Syntax -

background-image: repeating-radial-gradient(shape size position,color1,color2, ...);

 

Values

 
shape

There are two type of shape in radial gradiant.

  • ellipse (default)
  • circle
size

There are four size of the radial gradient.

  • farthest-corner (default)
  • closest-side
  • closest-corner
  • farthest-side
position

Default position is center.

color x%

All color with percentage for repeat color gradient.

 

For example -

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
	<meta charset="UTF-8">
	<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
	<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
	<title>Teknowize</title>

	<style>
		h1 {
			background-image: repeating-radial-gradient(circle,red, yellow 10%, green 15%);
			height: 200px;
			width: 200px;
			border-radius: 50%;
		}
	</style>
</head>

<body>
	<h1></h1>
</body>

</html>

 

Output

background gradient

 

e) Conic gradient

  • A conic gradient is similar to a radial gradient.
  • Both are circular and use the centre of the element but radial gradient emerge from the centre and conic gradient place them around the centre.

 

Syntax -

background-image:conic-gradient(color1,color2,.........);

 

Difference between radial gradient and conic gradient

Conic gradient

Using this we can create pie chart or many more.

In radial gradient there is two attribute to define shape such as circle and ellipses , but in conic gradient there are no any attribute to define shape.

In conic gradient we need to use border tag for square shape or use borderradius tag along with border tag for circular shape or we can also use conic gradient with radial gradient tag but after write radial gradient tag we need to put only a comma (,) and then write conical gradient tag.

If we use radial gradient for shape then must need to write first color of radial gradient is transparent with 100% and second color will be same as background color.

Cicle or ellipse shape will be show when we set radial gradiant size as a closestside or set border radius is 50%.

 

Example-

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
	<meta charset="UTF-8">
	<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
	<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
	<title>Teknowize</title>

	<style>
		h1 {
			background-image:conic-gradient(red,blue,yellow,green); 
			height: 200px;
			width: 200px;
			border-radius: 50%;
		}
	</style>
</head>

<body>
	<h1></h1>
</body>

</html>

 

Output

conic gradient

 

. To set (from , at , color range ) 

Syntax -

background-image:conic-gradient(from range at x-axis y-axis ,color1 start deg,color 1 stop deg, color 2 start deg,color 2 stop deg , ...............................);

 

from :

it is use to set angle from which degree the first color will be start (it should be negative value). 

 

at :

it is use to set the centre point from where the center will be start and there should two value ,fist value for x-axis and second value for y-axis.

 

color range :

  • It is use to set color range from where a color start and where they end.
  • The color range value must be in percent (0% to 100%) or in degree (0 deg to 360deg).
  • To set color range, we must have to write each color name two times, where in first we set from where color start and in second where color will end.

 

For Example -

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
	<meta charset="UTF-8">
	<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
	<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
	<title>Teknowize</title>

	<style>
		h1 {
			background-image: conic-gradient(from -30deg at 20% 25%, aqua 0deg, aqua 90deg, blue 90deg, blue 180deg, magenta 180deg, magenta 270deg, red 270deg, red 360deg);
			height: 200px;
			width: 200px;
			border-radius: 50%;
		}
	</style>
</head>

<body> 
	<h1></h1>
</body>

</html>

 

Output

conic gradient
