CSS is used to create various shapes and styles with different colors or gradient. In this article, we will learn how to draw a circle with a gradient border.
Approach: We are going to create two div one is outer div with class outer_circle and another is inner div with class inner_circle. Outer div contains the big circle with gradient colour and inner div contains a small white circle which acts as an inner end of the circle creating a border of the circle. The linear-gradient is a CSS function which we are going to use to set a linear gradient as the background image.
Syntax:
.class_name { background-image: linear-gradient(direction, color1, color2 } Parameters: This function accept three parameters as mentioned above and described below:
- $direction: It specifies the direction to move the gradient.
- $color1: It specifies the first colour stop.
- $color2: It specifies the second colour stop.
Program: We can use the linear-gradient function to draw a circle with gradient border as given below:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html>
<head>
<!-- CSS -->
<style>
.outer_circle {
position: relative;
margin: 50px;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border-radius: 50%;
background: #ffffff;
}
.inner_circle {
background-image: linear-gradient(
to bottom, rgb(9, 112, 26) 0%,
rgb(21, 255, 0) 100%);
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: -20px;
bottom: -20px;
right: -20px;
left: -20px;
z-index: -1;
border-radius: inherit;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="outer_circle">
<div class="inner_circle"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
