clip-path

Creates a clipping region that sets what part of an element should be shown. Parts inside the region are visible, while those outside are hidden.

It is documented as part of the CSS Masking specification.

/* Usage Example */
.hero-shape {
  clip-path: polygon(0% 0%, 100% 0%, 100% 75%, 50% 100%, 0% 75%);
  /* creates a pointed banner/hero shape */
}

/* Syntax */
clip-path: none;

/* Global values */
clip-path: inherit;
clip-path: initial;
clip-path: revert;
clip-path: revert-layer;
clip-path: unset;
