I have drawn a grid as a repeating background of a <div>
the following way in SASS:
background-image:
repeating-linear-gradient(0deg, $major-grid-color, $major-grid-color $major-grid-weight, transparent $major-grid-weight, transparent $major-grid-size),
repeating-linear-gradient(-90deg, $major-grid-color, $major-grid-color $major-grid-weight, transparent $major-grid-weight, transparent $major-grid-size),
repeating-linear-gradient(0deg, $minor-grid-color, $minor-grid-color $minor-grid-weight, transparent $minor-grid-weight, transparent $minor-grid-size),
repeating-linear-gradient(-90deg, $minor-grid-color, $minor-grid-color $minor-grid-weight, transparent $minor-grid-weight, transparent $minor-grid-size);
It renders the following way:
But I want it to render with an offset of 15px
to the left (or an offset of 4 * $minor-grid-size + 15px
to the right), ie:
Now I can't use margin-left
, because it will also offset the elements inside of the <div>
tag and I don't want that, see the Fiddle here (don't pay attention to the JS).
I only want the background to have an offset.
You might use background-position
property.
.repeating-grid {
position: absolute;
top: 0; bottom: 0;
left: 0; right: 0;
background-size: $major-grid-size $major-grid-size;
background-image:
repeating-linear-gradient(0deg, $major-grid-color, $major-grid-color $major-grid-weight, transparent $major-grid-weight, transparent $major-grid-size),
repeating-linear-gradient(-90deg, $major-grid-color, $major-grid-color $major-grid-weight, transparent $major-grid-weight, transparent $major-grid-size),
repeating-linear-gradient(0deg, $minor-grid-color, $minor-grid-color $minor-grid-weight, transparent $minor-grid-weight, transparent $minor-grid-size),
repeating-linear-gradient(-90deg, $minor-grid-color, $minor-grid-color $minor-grid-weight, transparent $minor-grid-weight, transparent $minor-grid-size);
background-position: 15px 0;
}
