What do you mean by this?  How is the box determined here?  Are you
assuming that an angle can be provided in addition to 0-2 points?  So
that, frex, "10px 10px 45deg" would create a box with a corner at
"10px 10px" and another at "calc(100% - 10px) calc(100% - 10px)",
filling it with a gradient at 45deg?
