CSS - scaleX()
The scaleX()
CSS function modifies the abscissa 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
Without changing the origin
HTML
<p>foo</p> <p class="transformed">bar</p>
CSS
p { width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: teal; } .transformed { transform: scaleX(2); background-color: blue; }
Result
Translating the origin of the transformation
HTML
<p>foo</p> <p class="transformed">bar</p>
CSS
p { width: 50px; height: 50px; background-color: teal; } .transformed { transform: scaleX(2); transform-origin: left; background-color: blue; }
Result
Syntax
scaleX(s)
Description
The scaleX()
CSS function modifies the abscissa 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.
scaleX(sx)
is a shorthand for scale(sx, 1)
or for scale3d(sx, 1, 1)
.
scaleX(-1)
defines an axial symmetry with a vertical axis passing by the origin (as specified by the transform-origin
property).
- s
- Is a
<number>
representing the scaling factor to apply on the abscissa of each point of the element.
