CSS3 Clip-Path Property.

I recently learned about the clip-path property in CSS3.

The clip-path creates a clipping region that sets what part of an element should be shown.

This can help in creating really cool slanted Hero sections. The following CSS code snippet will create a slanted hero background section.

clip-path: polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 100% 75vh, 0 100%);

The polygon shape takes 4 values in a pair of (x y) each for top-left, top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left.

But sometimes it can be very tricky to create a clipping path. So, here is a really cool tool for generating a CSS clip-path.

Now, go and create your own clip designs, shapes, and backgrounds.

Honestly, with that title, I was kinda hoping for an explanation and examples instead of a tool that does it for you.
