Better CSS Shapes Using shape() — Part 4: Close and Move

Avatar of css_tricksCSS-Tricks•From css-tricks.com•Jul 07, 2025•10m read time

The CSS shape() function includes close and move commands for advanced shape creation. The close command automatically returns to the starting point, useful for optimizing code when drawing multiple connected shapes from a central point. The move command allows creating multiple disconnected shapes within a single shape() definition. These commands enable techniques like cut-out shapes (inverting shapes by combining them with rectangle boundaries) and repetitive patterns using CSS variables to avoid code duplication.
