The HTML DOM style transform property returns and apply a 2D or 3D transformation to an element in an HTML document.
Syntax
Following is the syntax −
Returning transform
object.style.transform
Modifying transform
object.style.transform = “value”
Values
Here, value can be −
| Value | Explanation |
|---|---|
| inherit | It inherits this property value from its parent element. |
| initial | It set this property value to its default value. |
| none | It sets no transformation. |
| transform-function | It can be any valid 2D or 3D transformation function. |
| vertical | It sets the height of the element as resizable. |
Functions
Here valid 2D or 3D transformation functions are −
| Function | Explanation |
|---|---|
| matrix(n,n,n,n,n,n) | It specifies a 2D transformation using a matrix of 6 values. |
| matrix3d(n,n,n,n,etc ...) | It specifies a 3D transformation using a matrix of 16 values. |
| translate(x,y) | It specifies a 2D translation. |
| translate3d(x,y,z) | It specifies a 3D translation. |
| translateX(x) | It specifies a translation using only X-axis value. |
| translateY(y) | It specifies a translation using only Y-axis value. |
| translateZ(z) | It specifies a translation using only Z-axis value. |
| scale(x,y) | It specifies a 2D scale. |
| scale3d(x,y,z) | It specifies a 3D scale. |
| scaleX(x) | It specifies a scale using only X-axis value. |
| scaleY(y) | It specifies a scale using only Y-axis value. |
| scaleZ(z) | It specifies a scale using only Z-axis value. |
| rotate(angle) | It specifies a 2D rotate. |
| rotate3d(x,y,z) | It specifies a 3D rotate. |
| rotateX(x) | It specifies a rotate using only X value. |
| rotateY(y) | It specifies a rotate using only Y-axis value. |
| rotateZ(z) | It specifies a rotate using only Z-axis value. |
| skew(x,y) | It specifies a 2D skew. |
| skewX(x) | It specifies a skew using only X-axis value. |
| skewY(y) | It specifies a skew using only Y-axis value. |
| perspective(n) | It specifies a perspective view for a 3D transformation. |
Example
Let us see an example of HTML DOM style transform property −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
color: #000;
background: lightblue;
height: 100vh;
text-align: center;
}
.box {
background: lightcoral;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
margin: 2rem auto;
}
.btn {
background: #db133a;
border: none;
height: 2rem;
border-radius: 2px;
width: 40%;
display: block;
color: #fff;
outline: none;
cursor: pointer;
margin: 1rem auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>DOM Style transform Property Example</h1>
<div class="box">
</div>
<button onclick="add()" class="btn">Set transform</button>
<script>
function add() {
document.querySelector('.box').style.transform = "translate(10px,10px) rotate(10deg)";
}
</script>
</body>
</html>Output
This will produce the following output −
Click on “Set transform” button to apply 2D transformation on red box.
