CSS clip

The CSS clip property is used to clip a box to a given shape (rectangle is the only shape specfified in CSS2.1). Coordinates are supplied that indicate where the clipping will occur.

Syntax

Possible Values

• auto
• <shape> (rectangle is the only shape supported in CSS2.1) followed by four coordinates

In addition, all CSS properties also accept the following CSS-wide keyword values as the sole component of their property value:

initial

Represents the value specified as the property's initial value.

inherit

Represents the computed value of the property on the element's parent.

unset

This value acts as either inherit or initial, depending on whether the property is inherited or not. In other words, it sets all properties to their parent value if they are inheritable or to their initial value if not inheritable.
