SVG ClipPath: Why does applying the clip path to a DIV have different results to an IMAGE?

Question

I need to create a set of 3 triangles that each have content in them (images, copy, etc).

I have setup this Pen to show roughly what I\'m trying to achieve: https://

Here is an idea where I will be using mask instead of clip-path. The main trick to correctly set the viewBox (you already have it in your code) add preserveAspectRatio="none" then have a mask size of 100% 100%

.box {
  width:200px;
  height:200px;
  display:inline-block;
  background:red;
}
.mask {
  -webkit-mask:url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg preserveAspectRatio="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 1220 1214"> <path d="M1232,1212.58943 L1232,4.82844551 C1232,3.17159126 1230.65685,1.82844551 1229,1.82844551 C1228.53907,1.82844551 1228.08435,1.93465364 1227.67111,2.13882722 L18.145562,599.743544 C13.1941115,602.189966 11.1633848,608.187127 13.6098071,613.138577 C14.582638,615.107544 16.1765951,616.701501 18.145562,617.674332 L1227.67111,1215.27905 C1229.15654,1216.01298 1230.95569,1215.40376 1231.68962,1213.91832 C1231.89379,1213.50508 1232,1213.05036 1232,1212.58943 Z" /> </svg>') 0 0/100% 100%;
