mask-position

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

Summary

The mask-position CSS property sets the initial position, relative to the mask position layer defined by mask-origin for each defined mask image.

Initial value	`center`
Applies to	all elements; In SVG, it applies to container elements excluding the `<defs>` element and all graphics elements
Inherited	no
Percentages	refer to size of mask painting area minus size of mask layer image (see the text for `background-position`)
Media	visual
Computed value	Consists of two keywords representing the origin and two offsets from that origin, each given as an absolute length (if given a <length>), otherwise as a percentage.
Animatable	yes, as a repeatable list of , a simple list of , a length, percentage or calc(); when both values are lengths, they are interpolated as lengths; when both values are percentages, they are interpolated as percentages; otherwise, both values are converted into a `calc()` function that is the sum of a length and a percentage (each possibly zero), and these `calc()` functions have each half interpolated as real numbers.
Canonical order	the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar
