CSS offset property
The CSS offset
property allows you animate an element by defining a specific path. It is an experimental property, so always check the browser support info.
CSS offset
is a shorthand for five subproperties:
offset-anchor
offset-distance
offset-path
offset-position
offset-rotate
All of them can also be used individually. However, the subproperties are experimental as well.
