Linear Gradient in CSS
Linear Gradients
CSS3 gradients enable you to display smooth transitions between two or more specified colors. To create a linear gradient, you must define at least two color stops.
What are Color Stops?
Colors stops are basically the colors among which you want to render smooth transitions. There is no limitation on color stops. We can add multiple color stops separated by a comma. We can set the direction of our linear gradient. The direction can be from left to right, top to bottom, bottom to top, right to left, and many more. We can also specify the angle of a linear gradient. By doing this, the linear gradient will start from that particular angle.
Syntax:-
Its syntax is:-
< style >
element{
background-image: linear-gradient(direction, color-stop1, ...);
}
< /style >
