CSS Image Shapes

🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)

With CSS it is easy to shape (clip) images to circles, ellipses, and polygons using the clip-path property, while shape-outside lets inline content wrap around the shaped image. [S1]

🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)

• clip-path — lets you clip an element to a basic shape or to an SVG source. [S1]
• shape-outside — lets you define a shape for the wrapping of the inline content. [S1]
• circle() — defines a circle with a radius and a position. [S1]
• ellipse() — defines an ellipse with two radii, x and y. [S1]
• polygon() — defines a polygon. [S1]

🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)

• Clip to a basic shape — apply a shape function (circle(), ellipse(), polygon()) as the value of clip-path on an image. [S1]
• Reposition the clip — use the at keyword inside a shape function (e.g. circle(50% at right)) to move the clip's center. [S1]
• Wrap text around a shape — combine float with clip-path (visual clip) and shape-outside (the wrap geometry) so inline content flows around the shaped image. [S1]

📖 세부 내용 (Details)

Shaping images — With CSS it is easy to shape (clip) images to circles, ellipses and polygons. [S1]

Circle with clip-path [S1]

img {
  clip-path: circle(50%);
}

Circle positioned to the right — the at keyword positions the circle. [S1]

img {
  clip-path: circle(50% at right);
}

Circle with shape-outside — the shape-outside property lets you define a shape for the wrapping of the inline content. [S1]

img {
  float: left;
  clip-path: circle(40%);
  shape-outside: circle(45%);
}

Ellipse with clip-path — the ellipse() function defines an ellipse with two radii x and y. [S1]

img {
  clip-path: ellipse(50% 35%);
}

Ellipse positioned to the right [S1]

img {
  clip-path: ellipse(50% 35% at right);
}

Ellipse with shape-outside [S1]

img {
  float: left;
  clip-path: ellipse(40% 50%);
  shape-outside: ellipse(45% 50%);
}

Polygon with clip-path — the polygon() function defines a polygon. [S1]

img {
  clip-path: polygon(50% 0%, 100% 50%, 50% 100%, 0% 50%);
}

Properties and functions reference [S1]

Property / Function	Description
clip-path	Lets you clip an element to a basic shape or to an SVG source
shape-outside	Lets you define a shape for the wrapping of the inline content
circle()	Defines a circle with a radius and a position
ellipse()	Defines an ellipse with two radii x and y
polygon()	Defines a polygon

🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)

The page's own examples are the applied cases: circular/elliptical/polygonal image clips, and text-wrapping layouts where a floated image uses shape-outside. No external project/commit applications found in the source.

💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)

Clip an image to a centered circle (language: CSS):

img {
  clip-path: circle(50%);
}

Wrap inline text around a circular image (language: CSS):

img {
  float: left;
  clip-path: circle(40%);
  shape-outside: circle(45%);
}
