I'm currently displaying 2 triangles on the bottom of my page, one on the left and one on the right. The right triangle is transparent. Both triangles have one color.
I want the triangle-bottom-right
to have an additional gradient level (additional color stops).
It should go from left to right, start with rgba(70, 70, 70, 0.15)
and end with rgba(70, 70, 70, 0)
. The target browser is Chrome (running through Electron).
The resulting triangles should be able to resize to the browser width, the height is constant.
My CSS:
.triangle-footer {
position: relative;
bottom: 0px;
height: 176px;
width: 100%;
}
.triangle-bottom-left {
position: absolute;
width: 40%;
height: 100%;
left: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
background: linear-gradient(to right top, rgba(94, 194, 82, 100) 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 50%);
}
.triangle-bottom-right {
position: absolute;;
width: 125%;
height: 140%;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
background: linear-gradient(to left top, rgba(70, 70, 70, 0.15) 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 50%);
}
My HTML:
<div class="ui fixed bottom sticky triangle-footer">
<div class="triangle-bottom-left"></div>
</div>
<div class="ui fixed bottom sticky triangle-footer">
<div class="triangle-bottom-right"></div>
</div>
(Using Semantic-UI for the bottom stickyness)
Live Example: http://jsfiddle.net/fu2dhfdv/1/
As far as I am aware this cannot be done using linear-gradient
background image alone because the right triangle itself shows up as a triangle only because it is transparent for 50% and filled for rest. If we put another layer of left-to-right gradient on top of this layer then the gradient will show up for the entire square area of triangle-bottom-right
(or) if we put the left-to-right gradient on bottom of this layer then also it will show up for the entire square area because the top half of gradient that produces the triangle is transparent. So, the only choices are (a) to make top half as "white" and place the 2nd gradient below it or (b) use a mask or clip-path to hide the top half.
Using SVG Mask:
Since neither CSS mask nor CSS clip-path has good browser support at present. The best option is to make use of inline SVG for the mask
like in the below snippet.
.triangle-footer {
position: relative;
bottom: 0px;
height: 176px;
width: 100%;
}
.triangle-bottom-left {
position: absolute;
width: 40%;
height: 100%;
left: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
background: linear-gradient(to right top, rgba(94, 194, 82, 100) 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 50%);
}
.triangle-bottom-right {
position: absolute;
width: 125%;
height: 140%;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
}
svg {
position: relative;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
polygon#right-triangle {
fill: url(#grad);
mask: url(#triangle);
}
<script src="http://semantic-ui.com/dist/semantic.js"></script>
<link href="http://semantic-ui.com/dist/semantic.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="ui fixed bottom sticky triangle-footer">
<div class="triangle-bottom-left"></div>
</div>
<div class="ui fixed bottom sticky triangle-footer">
<div class="triangle-bottom-right">
<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" preserveAspectRatio="none">
<defs>
<linearGradient id="grad">
<stop offset="0%" stop-color="rgba(70, 70, 70, 0.35)" />
<stop offset="100%" stop-color="rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)" />
</linearGradient>
<mask id="triangle">
<polygon points="0,0 100,0 100,100 0,100" fill="black" />
<polygon points="0,90 0,100 100,100 100,0" fill="white" />
</mask>
</defs>
<polygon points="0,0 100,0 100,100 0,100" id="right-triangle" />
</svg>
</div>
</div>
Using SVG Polygon: (can be done with path
element also)
This can also be done using one SVG polygon
element instead of a mask
like in the below snippet. I will leave it to you to choose one :)
.triangle-footer {
position: relative;
bottom: 0px;
height: 176px;
width: 100%;
}
.triangle-bottom-left {
position: absolute;
width: 40%;
height: 100%;
left: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
background: linear-gradient(to right top, rgba(94, 194, 82, 100) 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 50%);
}
.triangle-bottom-right {
position: absolute;
width: 125%;
height: 140%;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
}
svg {
position: relative;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
polygon#right-triangle {
fill: url(#grad);
}
<script src="http://semantic-ui.com/dist/semantic.js"></script>
<link href="http://semantic-ui.com/dist/semantic.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="ui fixed bottom sticky triangle-footer">
<div class="triangle-bottom-left"></div>
</div>
<div class="ui fixed bottom sticky triangle-footer">
<div class="triangle-bottom-right">
<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" preserveAspectRatio="none">
<defs>
<linearGradient id="grad">
<stop offset="0%" stop-color="rgba(70, 70, 70, 0.35)" />
<stop offset="100%" stop-color="rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)" />
</linearGradient>
</defs>
<polygon points="0,90 0,100 100,100 100,0" id="right-triangle" />
</svg>
</div>
</div>
Using CSS Masks: (best for you as Chrome is the only target)
Since you've indicated that the target browser is only Chrome and given that CSS mask
is supported in it, you can also use the -webkit-mask-image
property with a linear-gradient like in below snippet. I have listed it as last only because it is least recommended for any other user viewing this thread with a different browser requirement.
.triangle-footer {
position: relative;
bottom: 0px;
height: 176px;
width: 100%;
}
.triangle-bottom-left {
position: absolute;
width: 40%;
height: 100%;
left: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
background: linear-gradient(to right top, rgba(94, 194, 82, 100) 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 50%);
}
.triangle-bottom-right {
position: absolute;
width: 125%;
height: 140%;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
background: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(70, 70, 70, 0.15), rgba(255, 255, 255, 0));
-webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(to top left, white 50%, transparent 50%);
}
<script src="http://semantic-ui.com/dist/semantic.js"></script>
<link href="http://semantic-ui.com/dist/semantic.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="ui fixed bottom sticky triangle-footer">
<div class="triangle-bottom-left"></div>
</div>
<div class="ui fixed bottom sticky triangle-footer">
<div class="triangle-bottom-right">
</div>
</div>
Using CSS Clip Path: (again useful since Chrome is the only target)
It can be done with CSS clip-path also like in the below snippet. The right-bottom element is clipped to the required triangle-ish shape and a left-to-right gradient is applied to it.
.triangle-footer {
position: relative;
bottom: 0px;
height: 176px;
width: 100%;
}
.triangle-bottom-left {
position: absolute;
width: 40%;
height: 100%;
left: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
background: linear-gradient(to right top, rgba(94, 194, 82, 100) 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 50%);
}
.triangle-bottom-right {
position: absolute;
width: 125%;
height: 140%;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
background: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(70, 70, 70, 0.15), rgba(255, 255, 255, 0));
-webkit-clip-path: polygon(0% 90%, 0% 100%, 100% 100%, 100% 0%);
}
<script src="http://semantic-ui.com/dist/semantic.js"></script>
<link href="http://semantic-ui.com/dist/semantic.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="ui fixed bottom sticky triangle-footer">
<div class="triangle-bottom-left"></div>
</div>
<div class="ui fixed bottom sticky triangle-footer">
<div class="triangle-bottom-right">
</div>
</div>
just for info and to be seen as a potential fallback on plain white background.
3 gradients + background-size could work.
html {
min-height:100%;
background:
linear-gradient(to left, rgba(255,255,255,0.75), rgba(255,255,255,0) 60%) bottom no-repeat,
linear-gradient(to top left, rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 50%, transparent 50%)bottom right no-repeat,
linear-gradient( to top right, #5EC252 50%, transparent 50%)bottom left no-repeat white;
background-size:100% 245px, 127% 245px , 40% 170px;
}
