  <h2 class="no-num no-toc" id="abstract">Abstract</h2>

  <p>This draft contains the features of CSS
    relating to wrapping content around and inside shapes.
    It (implicitly for now) includes and extends
    the functionality of CSS Shapes Level 1 [[CSS-SHAPES]].
    The main points of extension compared to level 1
    include additional ways of defining shapes,
    defining an exclusion area using a shape,
    and restricting an element's content area using a shape.
  </p>

  <h2 id="intro">Introduction</h2>
  <p><em>This section is not normative.</em></p>

  <p>
    Level 1 of this specification
    defined properties to control
    the geometry of an element's
    <span>float area</span>.
    This level defines how shapes apply to exclusions.
    It also includes a 'shape-inside' property
    for applying a shape
    to an element's content area.
    And finally it defines new ways
    of specifying shapes for all
    of these applications.
  </p>

  <h2 id="terminology">Terminology</h2>

  <dfn>Exclusion area</dfn>

  <p>
    The area used for excluding
    inline flow content
    around an exclusion box.
    The <span>exclusion area</span>
    is equivalent to the
    <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#box-dimensions">border box</a>
    for an exclusion box.
    This specification's 'shape-outside' property
    can be used to define arbitrary,
    non-rectangular <span>exclusion areas</span>.
    The 'shape-inside' property also defines
    an <span>exclusion area</span>,
    but in this case it is the area outside the shape
    that inline content avoids.
  </p>

  <p><dfn>Float area</dfn>

  <p>
    The area used for wrapping content
    around a float element.
    By default,
    the float area is
    the float element's
    <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#box-dimensions">margin box</a>.
    This specification's 'shape-outside' property
    can be used to define arbitrary,
    non-rectangular float areas.
  </p>

  <dfn>Content area</dfn>
  <p>
    The <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#box-dimensions">content area</a>
    is normally used for layout of the inline flow content of a box.
  </p>

    <a href="https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15089">Issue-15089</a>
    <div class="issue-details">
      <p class="short-desc">shrink-to-fit circle / shape</p>
    </div>
  </div>

  <h2 id="shapes">Shapes</h2>

  <p>
    Shapes define arbitrary geometric contours
    around which inline content flows.
    The shape-outside property defines
    the <span>float area</span> for a float,
    and the exclusion area for an exclusion.
  </p>

  <h3 id="basic-shapes-from-svg-syntax">Basic Shapes</h3>
  <p>Add the final
    <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css-shapes/#basic-shapes-from-svg-syntax">level 1</a>
    section with a possible addition of path() and a rejiggered rectangle().
  </p>

  <dl>
    <dt><dfn>rectangle()</dfn> =
      rectangle( <<shape-arg>>{4} [ round <<'border-radius'>> ]? )
    </dt>
    <dd>
      <ul>
        <li>
          The first four arguments represent
          <strong>x, y, width</strong> and
          <strong>height</strong>
          of the rectangle.
          Negative values for width and height are invalid.
        </li>
        <li>
          The optional <<'border-radius'>> argument(s)
          define rounded corners for the rectangle
          using the 'border-radius' shorthand syntax.
        </li>
      </ul>

  <h3 id='referencing-svg-shapes'>Referencing SVG shapes</h4>

  <p>An SVG shape can be referenced using the <code>url()</code> syntax.
    The shape can be any
    of the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/shapes.html">SVG basic shapes</a>

  <h3 id="shapes-from-image">Shapes from Image</h3>
    <p>Add the final
      <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css-shapes/#shapes-from-image">level 1</a>
      section.
  <!-- End section "Shapes from image" -->

  <p class="issue">
    One <a href="https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16716">suggestion</a>
    is to define a shape based on an element's rendered content. This could have security implications.
  </p>

  <p class="issue">
    Another <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2014Mar/0120.html">suggestion</a>
    is to add something to an image() function that determines the relevant pixels to use (both for defining a shape and for display).
  </p>

  <h3 id="declaring-shapes">Declaring Shapes</h3>
    <p>
      A shape can be declared with
      the 'shape-outside' property,
      with possible modifications
      from the 'shape-margin' property.
      The shape defined by
      the 'shape-outside'
      and 'shape-margin' properties
      changes the geometry
      of a float element's
      <span>float area</span>
      and an exclusion element's
      <span>exclusion area</span>.
    </p>
    <p>
      A shape can be declared with
      the 'shape-inside' property,
      with possible modifications
      from the 'shape-padding' property.
      The shape defined by
      the 'shape-inside'
      and 'shape-padding' properties
      defines an <span>exclusion area</span>
      that contributes
      to the element's <span>wrapping context</span>.
      The 'shape-inside' property applies
      to all block-level elements.
    </p>

  <div class="example">
    <p>
      The red box illustrates
      an exclusion element's content box,
      which is unmodified and subject
      to normal CSS positioning
      (here absolute positioning).
    </p>
    <pre><code class="html">
&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
  .exclusion  {
      wrap-flow: both;
      position: absolute;
      top: 25%;
      left: 25%;
      width: 50%;
      height: 50%;
      shape-outside: circle(50% at 50% 50%);
      border: 1px solid red;
  }
&lt;/style&gt;

&lt;div style=”position: relative;”&gt;
  &lt;div class=”exclusion”&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>
    <img class="singleImgExample" src="images/shapes_CSS2.1_MBP.png" alt="Example rendering of circle shape and box model."  style="max-width:40%"/>
  </div>

  <h4 id="shape-outside-property">The 'shape-outside' Property</h4>
    <p>Add the final
      <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css-shapes/#shape-outside-property">level 1</a>
      section with the change that
      shape-outside applies
      to block-level elements
      and has an effect
      if the element
      is an exclusion.
    </p>
  <!-- End section "The shape-outside Property" -->

  <h4 id="shape-inside-property">The 'shape-inside' Property</h4>
    <p>
      The 'shape-inside' property adds
      one or more exclusion areas
      to the element's wrapping context.
      This modifies the normal rectangular shape
      of the content area
      to a possibly non-rectangular wrapping area.
      The exclusion areas
      are defined by subtracting the shape

  <p>The values of this property have the following meanings:</p>
  <dl>
    <dt><dfn>auto</dfn></dt>
    <dd>
      The shape is computed based on the content box of the element.
    </dd>
  </dl>
  <dl>
    <dt><dfn>&lt;basic-shape&gt;</dfn></dt>
    <dd>
      The shape is computed based
      on the values of one of
      'rectangle', 'inset-rectangle',
      'circle', 'ellipse' or 'polygon'.
    </dd>

    <dd>
      If the &lt;uri&gt; references an SVG shape element,
      that element defines the shape.
      Otherwise, if the &lt;uri&gt; references an image,
      the shape is extracted and computed
      based on the alpha channel
      of the specified image.

      If the &lt;uri&gt; does not reference
      an SVG shape element or an image,
      the effect is as if the value 'auto' had been specified.

  <p>The 'shape-inside' property applies to floats.</p>

  <p>The 'shape-inside' property may not apply on some elements such as elements with a

  <p>Overflow content avoids
      the exclusion area(s) added
      by 'shape-inside' and 'shape-padding'
      (as well as any other exclusion areas
      in the element's wrapping context).</p>

  <p>
    When a shape-inside has a definite size
    (no percentages used in the shape's definition)
    an auto-sized element should use the shape
    as a constraint in determining its maximum size.

      Should we add an alpha/luminance switch to determine which values we use from the shape-image source? This could just be a keyword on the shape-image-threshold property. Whatever we go with should be compatible with the alpha/luminance switch from mask sources.

  <h4 id="shape-padding-property">The 'shape-padding' Property</h4>
  <p>
      The 'shape-padding' property adds padding to a shape-inside.
      This defines a new shape where every point
      is the specified distance from the shape-inside.
      This property takes on positive values only.
