If the linear colors are located perpendicular to the line that sets the direction, then the radial colors diverge from the specified center, and the gradient can take the form of a circle or ellipse.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nFor the simplest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cssportal.com\/css-functions\/radial-gradient.php\">radial gradient<\/a> it is enough to set only the colors, as can be seen in the example below:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"language-css\"><code>background: radial-gradient(crimson, darkgreen);<\/code><\/pre>\n<style>\n.box2 {width:100%;margin-bottom:10px;height:100px;background: radial-gradient(crimson, darkgreen);color:#fff;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"box2\">Radial Gradient Example<\/div>\n<p>In addition to colors, you can set the gradient shape, position, and size. Parameters are combined and behave more complex than in linear gradients.<\/p>\n<p>The shape (the final gradient shape) can be a circle or an ellipse. By default, it is an ellipse. the gradient tends to take up all the free space of the element, stretching out if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>In order for the gradient to have a circle shape, this must be set explicitly using the keyword <span class=\"code\">circle<\/span>.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"language-css\"><code>.ellipse {background: radial-gradient(crimson 50%, darkgreen 70%)};\r\n.circle {background: radial-gradient(circle, crimson 50%, darkgreen 70%);}<\/code><\/pre>\n<style>\n.box1 {width:100%;margin-bottom:10px;height:100px;color:#fff;}\n.example1 {background: radial-gradient(crimson 50%, darkgreen 70%);}\n.example2 {background: radial-gradient(circle, crimson 50%, darkgreen 70%);}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"box1 example1\">Radial Gradient Ellipse<\/div>\n<div class=\"box1 example2\">Radial Gradient Circle<\/div>\n<p>If the shape is not specified, but the size is specified, one value sets the radius of the circle; if there are two values, the gradient takes the form of an ellipse. If there are sizes, explicitly setting the gradient shape is ignored.<\/p>\n<p>The position determines where the center of the gradient will be located . They use the same keywords as the linear gradient, but with the prefix <span class=\"code\">at<\/span>: <span class=\"code\">at top<\/span>, <span class=\"code\">at right<\/span>, a<span class=\"code\">at bottom<\/span>, <span class=\"code\">at left<\/span> and <span class=\"code\">at center<\/span> &#8211; the default value.<\/p>\n<p>They can also be combined with each other to arrange the gradient on a given side, for example: <span class=\"code\">at right top<\/span> &#8211; in the upper right corner.<\/p>\n<p>Below you can see how different positions work:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"language-css\"><code>.top {background: radial-gradient(at top, crimson, darkgreen);}\r\n.right {background: radial-gradient(at right, crimson, darkgreen);}\r\n.bottom {background: radial-gradient(at bottom, crimson, darkgreen);}\r\n.left {background: radial-gradient(at left, crimson, darkgreen);}\r\n.center {background: radial-gradient(at center, crimson, darkgreen);}\r\n.top-left {background: radial-gradient(at top left, crimson, darkgreen);}\r\n.top-right {background: radial-gradient(at top right, crimson, darkgreen);}\r\n.bottom-left {background: radial-gradient(at bottom left, crimson, darkgreen);}\r\n.bottom-right {background: radial-gradient(at bottom right, crimson, darkgreen);}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<style>\n.box {width:100px;height:100px;float:left;margin-left:10px;margin-bottom:10px;color:#fff;}\n.top {background: radial-gradient(at top, crimson, darkgreen);}\n.right {background: radial-gradient(at right, crimson, darkgreen);}\n.bottom {background: radial-gradient(at bottom, crimson, darkgreen);}\n.left {background: radial-gradient(at left, crimson, darkgreen);}\n.center {background: radial-gradient(at center, crimson, darkgreen);}\n.top-left {background: radial-gradient(at top left, crimson, darkgreen);}\n.top-right {background: radial-gradient(at top right, crimson, darkgreen);}\n.bottom-left {background: radial-gradient(at bottom left, crimson, darkgreen);}\n.bottom-right {background: radial-gradient(at bottom right, crimson, darkgreen);}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"box top\">at top<\/div>\n<div class=\"box right\">at right<\/div>\n<div class=\"box bottom\">at bottom<\/div>\n<div class=\"box left\">at left<\/div>\n<div class=\"box center\">at center<\/div>\n<div class=\"box top-left\">at top left<\/div>\n<div class=\"box top-right\">at top right<\/div>\n<div class=\"box bottom-left\">at bottom left<\/div>\n<div class=\"box bottom-right\">at bottom right<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n<p>You can also specify the exact position of the gradient, for example, <span class=\"code\">at 20% 50%<\/span> or <span class=\"code\">at 10px 150px<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Size defines the size of the final gradient shape. For elliptical gradients, the values can be set as a percentage, but not for round gradients.<\/p>\n<p>If one value is specified, it is considered the radius of the circular gradient. If two values \u200b\u200bare specified, the first is considered the horizontal radius of the ellipse, the second is vertical.<\/p>\n<p>Below are examples of round and elliptical gradients. The shape of the figure is determined by the given dimensions:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"language-css\"><code>.ellipse {background: radial-gradient(7em 1.2em, crimson 93%, darkgreen 100%);}\r\n.ellipse2 {background: radial-gradient(1em 6em at bottom, crimson 93%, darkgreen 100%);}\r\n.circle {background: radial-gradient(3em, darkgreen 93%, crimson 100%);}\r\n.circle2 {background: radial-gradient(7em at right, darkgreen 97%, crimson 100%);}<\/code><\/pre>\n<style>\n.box3 {width:100%;margin-bottom:10px;height:100px;color:#fff;}\n.ellipse {background: radial-gradient(7em 1.2em, crimson 93%, darkgreen 100%);}\n.ellipse2 {background: radial-gradient(1em 6em at bottom, crimson 93%, darkgreen 100%);}\n.circle {background: radial-gradient(3em, darkgreen 93%, crimson 100%);}\n.circle2 {background: radial-gradient(7em at right, darkgreen 97%, crimson 100%);}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"box3 ellipse\">Ellipse 1<\/div>\n<div class=\"box3 ellipse2\">Ellipse 2<\/div>\n<div class=\"box3 circle\">Circle 1<\/div>\n<div class=\"box3 circle2\">Circle 2<\/div>\n<p>You can also use keywords for radial gradients:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"code\">closest-side<\/span> &#8211; the gradient ends at the border of the element closest to the center of the gradient.
