If you want to achieve this effect in CSS, you can try the following simple approach:
.shape {
height:100px;
width:100px;
border:2px solid black;
margin:-5px;
}
.container {
/* Clip edges and position elements */
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
width: 200px;
height: 50px;
}
.curve {
position: absolute;
background: radial-gradient(ellipse, transparent, transparent 7px, black 7px, black 10px, transparent 11px);
background-size: 36px 40px;
width: 200px;
height: 20px;
}
.curve2 {
top: 20px;
left: 18px;
background-position: 0px -20px;
}
<table><tr>
<td><div class="shape">This shape contains your content</div></td><td>
<div class="container">
<div class="curve"></div>
<div class="curve curve2"></div>
</div></td><td>
<div class="shape">This shape contains your content</div></td>
To accomplish this layout, I utilized HTML tables for aligning different shapes in a single row. By using a table structure, you have more control over rotating curved lines and positioning them at various angles based on your requirements. This method simplifies the styling process by avoiding extensive CSS complexity.
