<shape>

Deprecated

A basic data type that defines a 2D shape, like a circle, ellipse, or polygon. It's most commonly used with the 'clip-path' property to cut elements into specific shapes or with 'shape-outside' to make text flow around them.

Quick example

.circle-avatar {
  clip-path: circle(50%);
  /* crops the element into a perfect circle */
}
