理解CSS Clip属性及用法

应用Clip属性实现的一个简单效果图：

 样式写法：

.my-element {
    position: absolute;
    clip: rect(10px  350px  170px  0); /* IE4 to IE7 */
    clip: rect(10px, 350px, 170px, 0); /* IE8+ & other browsers */
}

属性解析：

clip: { shape | auto | inherit } ;

auto 即浏览器默认解析，无clip效果，inderit 继承父层clip样式

shape 设置clip 形状，目前只支持 rect 即：矩形。 参数样例为：

clip: rect(<top>, <right>, <bottom>, <left>);

 有点不足的是 clip 属性只能使用于 位置属性设置为 absolute 或 fixed的元素

使用Clip实现的范例：

<style>
img {
  position: absolute;
  left: 10px;
  top: 60px;
  display: block;
  clip: rect(200px, 0, 0, 400px);
  -webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
  -moz-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
  transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
}

span:hover ~ img {
  clip: rect(0, 400px, 200px, 0);
}

span {
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 10px;
  margin: 10px;
  background: #08C;
  color: white;
  font-family: "Helvetica", "Arial", sans-serif;
  font-weight: bold;
  text-shadow: 0 -1px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
  text-align: center;
  cursor: pointer;
}

span:hover {
  background: #09C;
}
</style>
<span>Hover me</span>
