mask-origin: padding-box;
mask-origin: border-box;
mask-origin: margin-box;
mask-origin: fill-box;
mask-origin: stroke-box;
mask-origin: view-box;

/* Multiple values */
mask-origin: padding-box, content-box;
mask-origin: view-box, fill-box, border-box;

/* Non-standard keyword values */
-webkit-mask-origin: content;
-webkit-mask-origin: padding;
-webkit-mask-origin: border;

/* Global values */

mask-origin: initial;
mask-origin: unset;

For elements rendered as a single box, this property specifies the mask positioning area. In other words, this property specifies the origin position of an image specified by the mask-image CSS property. For elements rendered as multiple boxes, such as inline boxes on several lines or boxes on several pages, it specifies which boxes box-decoration-break operates upon to determine the mask positioning area.

Initial value border-box
Applies to all elements; In SVG, it applies to container elements excluding the <defs> element and all graphics elements
Inherited no
Media visual
Computed value as specified
Animation type discrete
Canonical order per grammar
