The rotateY()
CSS function defines a transformation that moves the element around the ordinate without deforming it. The amount of movement is defined by the specified angle; if positive, the movement will be clockwise, if negative, it will be counter-clockwise.
The axis of rotation passes by the origin, defined by transform-origin
CSS property.
rotateY(a)
is a shorthand for rotate3D(0, 1, 0, a)
.
In opposition to rotations in the plane, the composition of 3D rotations is usually not commutative; it means that the order in which the rotations are applied is crucial.
Syntax
rotateY(a)
Values
- a
- Is an
<angle>
representing the angle of the rotation. A positive angle denotes a clockwise rotation, a negative angle a counter-clockwise one.
