I am trying to create a Parallelogram with a straight right side in css but so far I am struggling to achieve this.
I am using css ...
-webkit-transform: skew(-18deg);
-moz-transform: skew(-18deg);
-o-transform: skew(-18deg);
...to 'skew' the rectangle to create the Parallelogram.
I am wondering if the right side can be made straight?
Would it require :before and :after in the css?
Any help of this would be great.
Thanks,
Phil
You can achieve this by adding a triangle shaped element and positioning it next to the rectangular element.
Option 1: (Using the border hack)
In the example below, I have added a blue color for the triangular shape only to illustrate how the shape is achieved. Please replace the color in the below line to achieve the parallelogram with a slanted edge on one side and a straight edge on the other.
Change the below
border-color: transparent blue blue transparent;
to
border-color: transparent red red transparent;
Note: When using this method, it is difficult to add an extra outer border to the shape.
Snippet:
.trapezoid{
position: relative;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
background: red;
margin-left: 50px;
color: white;
}
.trapezoid:after{
position: absolute;
content: '';
left: -50px;
top: 0px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: blue transparent blue transparent;
border-width: 100px 0px 0px 50px;
}
<div class="trapezoid">Some dummy text</div>
Option 2: (Using skew
)
.trapezoid{
position: relative;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
background: beige;
border: 1px solid red;
border-left-width: 0px;
margin-left: 50px;
}
.trapezoid:before{
position: absolute;
content: '';
left: -25px;
top: -1px;
height: 100px;
width: 50px;
background: beige;
border: 1px solid red;
z-index: -1;
-webkit-transform: skew(20deg);
-moz-transform: skew(20deg);
transform: skew(20deg);
}
<div class="trapezoid">Some dummy text.</div>
