The translateX()
CSS function repositions an element horizontally on the 2D plane. Its result is a <transform-function>
data type.
Note: translateX(tx)
is equivalent to translate(tx, 0)
or translate3d(tx, 0, 0)
.
Syntax
translateX(t)
Values
t
- Is a
<length>
representing the abscissa of the translating vector.
Cartesian coordinates on ℝ2 | Homogeneous coordinates on ℝℙ2 | Cartesian coordinates on ℝ3 | Homogeneous coordinates on ℝℙ3 |
---|---|---|---|
A translation is not a linear transformation in ℝ2 and can't be represented using a Cartesian-coordinate matrix. |

[1 0 0 1 t 0] |
