Shape Outside

Overview

The shape-outside CSS property defines a shape—which may be non-rectangular—around which adjacent inline content should wrap. By default, inline content wraps around its margin box;
shape-outside provides a way to customize this wrapping, making it possible to wrap text around complex objects rather than simple boxes.

<div>
    <p class="mt:0">
        The shape-image-threshold CSS property sets the alpha channel threshold used to extract the shape using an image as the value for shape-outside.
    </p>
    <div class="shape-outside:none 
        clip-outside:none
        flex float:left w:240 h:120 
        bg:url('/images/logo.svg')|no-repeat|top|left/contain
        shape-outside:url('/images/logo.svg')
        shape-image-threshold:0.5 shape:25">
    </div>
    <p class="mt:0">
        Any pixels whose alpha component's value is greater than the threshold are considered to be part of the shape for the purposes of determining its boundaries.<br>
        For example, a value of 0.5 means that the shape will enclose all the pixels that are more than 50% opaque.
    </p>
</div>
