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.

Random CSS Property

border-start-start-radius

The border-start-start-radius CSS property defines a logical border radius on an element, which maps to a physical border radius that depends on the element's writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation. This is useful when building styles to work regardless of the text orientation and writing mode.
