The 2D transform functions are used to apply 2D transformations which could be rotate, move, scale and skew to an element.
Translate − To move an element along x and y axis.
Scale − To resize the element in x y direction.
Rotate − To move the element around by some degree.
Skew − To slant an element along x y direction.
Following is the code showing the 2D transform functions in CSS −
Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> body { font-family: "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; } div { width: 100px; height: 100px; background-color: rgb(255, 0, 128); border:2px solid rgb(0, 35, 150); margin: 20px; display: inline-block; color: white; } .rotate { transform: rotate(20deg); } .translate { transform: translate(30px, 20px); } .scale { transform: scale(2, 1); margin-left:70px; } .skew { transform: skew(20deg); } </style> </head> <body> <h1>2D transform functions example</h1> <div class="rotate">ROTATE()</div> <div class="skew">SKEW()</div> <div class="scale">SCALE()</div> <div class="translate">TRANSLATE()</div> </body> </html>
