The rotateX()
CSS function defines a transformation that rotates an element around the abscissa (horizontal axis) without deforming it. Its result is a <transform-function>
data type.
The axis of rotation passes through an origin, defined by the transform-origin
CSS property.
Note: rotateX(a)
is equivalent to rotate3d(1, 0, 0, a)
.
The amount of rotation created by rotateX()
is specified by an <angle>
. If positive, the movement will be clockwise; if negative, it will be counter-clockwise.
rotateX(a)
a
<angle>
representing the angle of the rotation. A positive angle denotes a clockwise rotation, a negative angle a counter-clockwise one.Cartesian coordinates on ℝ2 | Homogeneous coordinates on ℝℙ2 | Cartesian coordinates on ℝ3 | Homogeneous coordinates on ℝℙ3 |

This transformation applies to the 3D space and can't be represented on the plane. |
