I'm trying to create a circle with CSS, which looks exactly like on the following picture:
...with only one div
:
<div class="myCircle"></div>
and by using only CSS definitions. No SVG, WebGL, DirectX, [...] allowed.
I've tried to draw a full circle and fading half of it with another div
, and it does work, but I'm looking for a more elegant alternative.
You could use border-top-left-radius
and border-top-right-radius
properties to round the corners on the box according to the box's height (and added borders).
Then add a border to top/right/left sides of the box to achieve the effect.
Here you go:
.half-circle {
width: 200px;
height: 100px; /* as the half of the width */
background-color: gold;
border-top-left-radius: 110px; /* 100px of height + 10px of border */
border-top-right-radius: 110px; /* 100px of height + 10px of border */
border: 10px solid gray;
border-bottom: 0;
}
Alternatively, you could add box-sizing: border-box
to the box in order to calculate the width/height of the box including borders and padding.
.half-circle {
width: 200px;
height: 100px; /* as the half of the width */
border-top-left-radius: 100px;
border-top-right-radius: 100px;
border: 10px solid gray;
border-bottom: 0;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
