shape-image-threshold

The shape-image-threshold CSS property defines the alpha channel threshold used to extract the shape using an image as the value for shape-outside.

A value of 0.5 means that the shape will enclose all the pixels that are more than 50% opaque.

/* <number> value */
shape-image-threshold: 0.7;

/* Global values */
shape-image-threshold: inherit;
shape-image-threshold: initial;
shape-image-threshold: unset;
