There and many properties that are used to create this shape but we are going to create all these shapes using the 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗴𝗼𝗻( ) function in the clip-path.

Syntax of the polygon function: clip-path: 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗴𝗼𝗻( x y, x y, x y, ...);

NOTE:

• x and y together form a point.

• x and y are the values of x and y coordinates.

let's create these shapes👇

Suppose this is the container in which we are going to draw our shape using the clip-path.

In this container, there are 4 corners or points.

So now we have to specify the coordinates of each corner or point of the container.

We will always measure the distance for a point from the top left corner point.

Now, we have to find the coordinates of the points. The coordinate of this point is (0 0) which means x=0% and y=0%

And this is the axis of the container in which we are going to create our shape.

In this image, you can see, that there are 4 points displayed here.

• top left point

• top right point

• bottom left point

• bottom right point

Now we have to find the coordinates of these all 4 points.

• top left point → x = 0%, y = 0%

• top right point → x = 100%, y = 0%

• bottom left point → x = 0%, y = 100%

• bottom right point → x = 100%, y = 100%

We can also omit the percent(%) sign from 0.

Also, we can put points anywhere in this container, such as the middle point.

So, here the value of x and y = 50%

Now we are going to create a triangle shape, but you can create any shape using this technique.

To create a shape, first of all, we have to highlight the point of the desired shape.

Now we have to do numbering those points serial-wise, either clockwise or anti-clockwise.

I have numbered these points clockwise.

Now all those points we have to write serial-wise(either clockwise or anti-clockwise) in CSS otherwise, your shape will not be drawn as per your requirement.

After that, we have to measure those points from the top-left point of the container.

• point number 1 → x = 50%, y = 0%
• point number 2 → x = 100%, y = 100%
• point number 2 → x = 0%, y = 100%

So finally, this is the clip-path value that is used to create a triangle shape.

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