This example demonstrates how to create a slanted edge on a hero section using only CSS. The hero element displays a purple gradient background, with a pseudo-element (`#hero:after`) that inherits the background and applies a `skewY(-1.5deg)` transform to slice the bottom edge diagonally. The code relies on the CSS `linear-gradient` property for the visual styling, `position: relative` and `z-index` for layering, and the `transform` and `transform-origin` properties to achieve the angled cut. The effect is purely presentational, requiring no JavaScript or external libraries.

Intro to CSS Animations

This example demonstrates the flexibility of CSS animations and transitions for creating simple motion and interactive effects in web graphics. A static SVG hexagon is embedded as a base64 data URI, and its styling responds to user interaction—hovering causes the shape to scale up and rotate 45 degrees with a smooth two-tenths-second transition. The CSS also defines a slide keyframe animation that translates an element horizontally, though the active circles using this effect are commented out in the code. The example uses core CSS features including `@keyframes`, `transform` properties, and transition timing.

Conic Gradient

This example demonstrates a conic gradient rendered as a full-page background using pure CSS. The body element fills the viewport with a conic-gradient that transitions from gold to red, creating a smooth circular color wheel effect. The code uses the CSS `conic-gradient()` function within a simple HTML structure, with no JavaScript or external libraries. It draws directly from MDN’s documentation on CSS gradients, showcasing a minimal approach to generating complex color transitions without canvas or SVG.

Positioning triangles inside an element with CSS pseudo elements

This example demonstrates how to add directional arrows to a UI component using only CSS pseudo-elements, with no JavaScript or external libraries. The `.pill` element is styled with a relative position, while its `::before` and `::after` pseudo-elements each create a small triangular arrow on the left and right sides, respectively, using bordered boxes with transparent top and bottom borders. The triangles are vertically centered and offset from the edges using absolute positioning and margin values, simulating a callout or slider control. The code relies entirely on native CSS properties like `border-top`, `border-bottom`, and `margin-top` to construct the shapes.

css: button with bevel (green)

This example demonstrates a purely visual, CSS-based button component, showing how a static green beveled button is styled without any interactive behavior. The code relies on standard CSS properties, including `background-clip`, `background-image` with a linear gradient, `border-radius`, `border-color`, and an inset `box-shadow` to create the beveled, three-dimensional appearance. It also uses `text-shadow` for subtle depth on the white text. The styling defines the button’s dimensions, padding, and typography, with no JavaScript or external libraries involved. The rendering approach is entirely dependent on the browser’s CSS engine, and no data source is used.

Hexagonal SVG gradient experiment

A grid of hexagons fills the page, each one displaying a linear gradient oriented along one of three angles, with colors randomly drawn from a dark rainbow palette. The animation progressively reveals hexagons starting from the center, growing outward in a wave-like pattern. Built with D3 v5 and SVG, the code constructs hexagon paths using trigonometric calculations and applies randomized gradient definitions through the SVG `defs` element.

Shapes and Colors with SVG and CSS

This example demonstrates how SVG shapes and CSS styling can combine to create a simple, static composition. A single rendered page shows a purple rectangle, a green path, and black lines drawn directly in the markup. The code uses raw SVG elements—`rect`, `line`, and `path`—and applies styling through CSS classes. The `stroke`, `stroke-width`, and `stroke-linejoin` properties control the lines’ appearance, while the overall layout is positioned using `transform` and viewport coordinates. No data source or interactivity is present; it purely illustrates basic vector graphics and style application.

Appearance

This example showcases fundamental SVG styling with two separate HTML documents. The first creates a gradient-filled rectangle using a linearGradient definition, a rounded rect element, and text, demonstrating how CSS-like stop colors and gradient coordinates work. The second document constructs a rainbow target from nine concentric circles, each filled with a distinct color, then covers half the shape with a white rectangle. Both use raw SVG elements and attributes in plain HTML, with no JavaScript or external libraries, to illustrate basic vector graphics appearances.

CSS Grid + Flexbox

This example demonstrates how CSS Grid and Flexbox layout techniques can be applied within a web page, using an SVG border image as a decorative element. The code defines an `app-container` div with a red border, which is customized via the `border-image` property that references an external SVG file (`border.svg`). The SVG itself contains a geometric network of interconnected lines and nodes, rendered in purple tones against a dark background, showcasing how vector graphics can be integrated as CSS styling components. The implementation relies on standard HTML structure and CSS styling, with the SVG rendering being the primary visual focus.
