skewY()

The skewY() CSS function defines a transformation that skews an element in the vertical direction on the 2D plane. Its result is a <transform-function> data type.

This transformation is a shear mapping (transvection) that distorts each point within an element by a certain angle in the vertical direction. The ordinate coordinate of each point is modified by a value proportionate to the specified angle and the distance to the origin; thus, the farther from the origin a point is, the greater will be the value added it.

Syntax

skewY(a) 

Values

a

Is an <angle> representing the angle to use to distort the element along the ordinate.

When i was a little kid, I was really scared of the dark. But then I came to understand, dark just means the absence of photons in the visible wavelength -- 400 to 700 nanometers. Then i thought, well, its really silly to be afraid of a lack of photons. Then i wasn't afraid of the dark anymore after that.
