Template:SkewX

The following documentation is located at Template:SkewX/doc. [<Edit> Template:SkewX/doc]
[⧼Purge⧽ Template:SkewX]

The {{skewX}} affine transform template skews an element along X about a given origin (skew point, from left top of the element's bounding box, which defaults to the center of it's bounding box).

Usage

{{skewX| ''element to skew''
| angle = ''clockwise angle'' (default: 0) | angle unit = deg, rad, or grad (default: rad)
| origin = ''x y'' (default: 50% 50%)
}}

or

{{skewX|element to skew along X|angle = clockwise angle (default: 0)|angle unit = deg, rad, or grad (default: rad)}}

or

{{skewX|element to skew along X|angle = clockwise angle (default: 0)}}

or

{{skewX|element to skew along X|clockwise angle (default: 0)}}

or (identity operation, since skewing is with default angle, i.e. 0)

{{skewX|element to skew along X}}

Valid input

• angle: angle (positive is clockwise) as a real number (default: 0);
• angle unit: deg, rad or grad (default: rad);
• origin: x y origin (from top left of the element's bounding box) used as skew point (default: 50% 50%), with units among %, px, cm, mm, in, pt, pc, em, ex.

Examples with valid input

Note: with Firefox 22.0, the supported stroke styles for [the rounded portions of] the rounded corners seems to be only solid or none, although for the straight portions of the stroke, the dashed and dotted styles are also supported! (For the {{ellipse}} and {{circle}} templates, where we have nothing but rounded portions, the supported stroke styles also seem to be only solid or none.)

Note: you can see that the strokes are drawn on the outside of the bounding boxes.
