CSS - scaleZ()

The scaleZ() CSS function modifies the z-coordinate of each element point by a constant factor, except if this scale factor is 1, in which case the function is the identity transform. The scaling is not isotropic and the angles of the element are not conserved.

Examples

HTML

HTML
<p>foo</p>
<p class="translated">bar</p>
<p class="scaled">bar</p>

CSS

CSS
p { 
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  background-color: teal;
}

.translated{
  /* Adding a perspective to create a 3d space */
  transform: perspective(500px) translateZ(100px);
}

.scaled{
  /* Adding a perspective to create a 3d space */
  transform: perspective(500px) scaleZ(2) translateZ(100px);
}

Description  

The scaleZ() CSS function modifies the z-coordinate of each element point by a constant factor, except if this scale factor is 1, in which case the function is the identity transform. The scaling is not isotropic and the angles of the element are not conserved.

scaleZ(sz) is a shorthand for scale3d(1, 1, sz).

scaleZ(-1) defines an axial symmetry along the z-axis passing by the origin (as specified by the transform-origin property).

Is a <number> representing the scaling factor to apply on the z-coordinate of each point of the element.
