CSS mask-composite property

Description

CSS mask-composite property defines multiple composite operations to combine multi mask layers.

The first url layer is at the top i.e. close to the user. The last url is at the bottom of all the layers i.e. far away from the user.

In the demo, the circle is closer to the user than the square shape. Then the source layer is the circle while the square is the destination layer.

Syntax

mask-composite : add | subtract | intersect | exclude | clear | copy | destination-atop | destination-in | destination-out | destination-over | source-atop | source-in | source-out | source-over | xor
