The skewX()
CSS function defines a transformation that skews an element in the horizontal direction on the 2D plane. Its result is a <transform-function>
data type.
transform: skewX(-0.06turn);
transform: skewX(0.352rad);
<section id="default-example">
<img
class="transition-all"
id="example-element"
src="/shared-assets/images/examples/firefox-logo.svg"
width="200" />
</section>
This transformation is a shear mapping (transvection) that distorts each point within an element by a certain angle in the horizontal direction. The abscissa (horizontal, x-coordinate) of each point is modified by a value proportionate to the specified angle and the distance to the origin; thus, the farther from the origin a point is, the greater will be the value added it.
Note: skewX(a)
is equivalent to skew(a)
.
a
Is an <angle>
representing the angle to use to distort the element along the abscissa (horizontal, x-coordinate).
