CSS3 - 2d Transforms
2D transforms are used to re-change the element structure as translate, rotate, scale, and skew.
The following table has contained common values which are used in 2D transforms −
| Sr.No. |
Value & Description |
| 1 |
matrix(n,n,n,n,n,n)
Used to defines matrix transforms with six values |
| 2 |
translate(x,y)
Used to transforms the element along with x-axis and y-axis |
| 3 |
translateX(n)
Used to transforms the element along with x-axis |
| 4 |
translateY(n)
Used to transforms the element along with y-axis |
| 5 |
scale(x,y)
Used to change the width and height of element |
| 6 |
scaleX(n)
Used to change the width of element |
| 7 |
scaleY(n)
Used to change the height of element |
| 8 |
rotate(angle)
Used to rotate the element based on an angle |
| 9 |
skewX(angle)
Used to defines skew transforms along with x axis |
| 10 |
skewY(angle)
Used to defines skew transforms along with y axis |
The following examples are shown the sample of all above properties.
