CSS3 - 3D Transforms

Methods of 3D transforms

Below methods are used to call 3D transforms −

Sr.No.	Value & Description
1	matrix3d(n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n) Used to transforms the element by using 16 values of matrix
2	translate3d(x,y,z) Used to transforms the element by using x-axis,y-axis and z-axis
3	translateX(x) Used to transforms the element by using x-axis
4	translateY(y) Used to transforms the element by using y-axis
5	translateZ(z) Used to transforms the element by using y-axis
6	scaleX(x) Used to scale transforms the element by using x-axis
7	scaleY(y) Used to scale transforms the element by using y-axis
8	scaleY(y) Used to transforms the element by using z-axis
9	rotateX(angle) Used to rotate transforms the element by using x-axis
10	rotateY(angle) Used to rotate transforms the element by using y-axis
11	rotateZ(angle) Used to rotate transforms the element by using z-axis

X-axis 3D transforms

The following an example shows the x-axis 3D transforms.

   <head>
      <style>
         div {
            width: 200px;
            height: 100px;
            background-color: pink;
            border: 1px solid black;
         }
         div#myDiv {
            -webkit-transform: rotateX(150deg); 
            
            /* Safari */
            transform: rotateX(150deg); 
            
            /* Standard syntax */
         }
      </style>
   </head>

   <body>
   
      <div>
