The translate()
CSS function repositions an element in the horizontal and/or vertical directions. Its result is a <transform-function>
data type.
This transformation is characterized by a two-dimensional vector. Its coordinates define how much the element moves in each direction.
The translate()
function is specified as either one or two values.
translate(tx) translate(tx, ty)
tx
<length>
representing the abscissa (x-coordinate) of the translating vector.ty
<length>
representing the ordinate of the translating vector (or y-coordinate). If unspecified, its default value is 0
. For example, translate(2)
is equivalent to translate(2, 0)

A translation is not a linear transformation in ℝ2 and can't be represented using a Cartesian-coordinate matrix. | |||

data type for compatibility info.
