CSS 3D Transforms
CSS also supports 3D transformations
CSS 3D Transforms
CSS also supports 3D transformations.
Mouse over the elements below to see the difference between a 2D and a 3D transformation:
2D rotate
3D rotate
In this chapter you will learn about the following CSS property:
transformBrowser Support
The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the property.
| Property | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| transform | 36.0 |
10.0 |
16.0 |
9.0 |
23.0 |
CSS 3D Transforms Methods
With the CSS transform property you can use
the following 3D transformation methods:
rotateX()rotateY()rotateZ()The rotateX() Method
The rotateX() method rotates an element around its X-axis at a given degree:
Example
#myDiv
{
transform: rotateX(150deg);
}
The rotateY() Method
The rotateY() method rotates an element around its Y-axis at a given degree:
Example
#myDiv
{
transform: rotateY(150deg);
}
The rotateZ() Method
The rotateZ() method rotates an element around its Z-axis at a given degree:
Example
#myDiv
{
transform: rotateZ(90deg);
}
Test Yourself With Exercises
Exercise:
With the transform property, rotate the <div> element 150deg around its X-axis..
<style>
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: lightblue;
border: 1px solid black;
: ;
}
</style>
<body>
<div>This is a div</div>
</body>
