CSS Conic-Gradient

CSS Conic gradient

A conic (conical) gradient is similar to a radial-gradient. The difference between them is that in the case of radial gradient the color stops
are defined by a length, and in the case of a conic gradient, the color stops are defined with an angle.

Example:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.radial-gradient {
  position: relative;
  background-image: radial-gradient(red, green, blue);
  width:200px;
  height: 200px;
  border-radius:50%;
  margin-right:30px;
}

.conic-gradient {
  position: relative;
  background-image: conic-gradient(red, green, blue);
  width:200px;
  height: 200px;
  border-radius:50%;  
}

</style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="radial-gradient"></div>
    <div class="conic-gradient"></div>
</body>
</html>

Output:

CSS conic-gradient
