# Clip Path Generator — REST API endpoint `clip-path-generator`

Generate a CSS clip-path from a named shape (triangle, trapezoid, parallelogram, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, star, chevron, message, circle, ellipse, inset) or from your own percentage coordinate pairs. Coordinates are relative to the element box, so the shape scales with the element. Returns the full "clip-path: ...;" rule, the bare value, and the resolved points. Note that clip-path cuts the element visually but does not change its layout box.
