<h2 id=introduction><span class=secno>1. </span>Introduction</h2>
<p><em>This section is not normative.</em>
<p> The CSS <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html">visual
formatting model</a> describes a coordinate system within which each
element is positioned. Positions and sizes in this coordinate space can be
thought of as being expressed in pixels, starting in the upper left corner
of the parent with positive values proceeding to the right and down.
<p> This coordinate space can be modified with the <span
class=prop-name>‘<a href="#effects"><code
class=property>transform</code></a>’</span> property. Using
transform, elements can be translated, rotated and scaled in two
dimensional space. The coordinate space behaves as described in the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/coords.html#EstablishingANewUserSpace">coordinate
system transformations</a> section of the SVG 1.1 specification. This is a
coordinate system with two axes: the X axis increases horizontally to the
right; the Y axis increases vertically downwards.
<p> Specifying a value other than ‘<code
class=property>none</code>’ for the <span class=prop-name>‘<a
href="#effects"><code class=property>transform</code></a>’</span>
property establishes a new <em>local coordinate system</em> at the element
that it is applied to. Transformations are cumulative. That is, elements
establish their local coordinate system within the coordinate system of
their parent. In this way, a <span class=prop-name>‘<a
href="#effects"><code class=property>transform</code></a>’</span>
property effectively accumulates all the <span class=prop-name>‘<a
href="#effects"><code class=property>transform</code></a>’</span>
properties of its ancestors. The accumulation of these transforms defines
a <em>current transformation matrix (CTM)</em> for the element.
<p> The transform property does not affect the flow of the content
surrounding the transformed element. However, the value of the overflow
area takes into account transformed elements. This behavior is similar to
what happens when elements are translated via relative positioning.
Therefore, if the value of the <span class=prop-name>‘<code
class=property>overflow</code>’</span> property is <span
class=prop-value>‘<code class=property>scroll</code>’</span>
or <span class=prop-value>‘<code
class=property>auto</code>’</span>, scrollbars will appear as needed
to see content that is transformed outside the visible area.
<p> Any value other than ‘<code class=property>none</code>’ for
the transform results in the creation of both a stacking context and a
containing block. The object acts as a containing block for fixed
positioned descendants.
<div class=todo> Need to go into more detail here about why fixed
positioned objects should do this, i.e., that it's much harder to
implement otherwise.</div>
<div class=issue> There are two roles for transformations in layout: (1)
transformations that adjust the position of the affected content without
changing the normal layout of that content (much like relative
positioning) and (2) transformation of the content prior to layout that
affects the layout of that content. See <a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Oct/0209">http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Oct/0209</a>
for examples of both cases. The "transform" property (as defined in this
document) is equally useful for both roles. This document is focused on
satisfying the first role. There is, however, an architectural question
that arises because there needs to be a way to distinguish which role an
author of a stylesheet wants. The key question is which is the default
behavior/role for the "transform" property and how is the other
behavior/role indicated by a stylesheet author. If you have an opinion on
this topic, please send feedback.</div>
<div class=issue> What do fixed backgrounds do in transforms? They should
probably ignore the transform completely, since - even transformed - the
object should be acting as "porthole" through which the fixed background
can be viewed in its original form.</div>
<div class=issue> This property should also be applicable to SVG elements.</div>
<div class=issue> We also need to specify that SVG transforms *do* combine
with this transform, e.g., if a <foreignObject> is inside
transformed SVG and then defines a transform of its own. This means we may
potentially have to examine the current SVG transform and combine with it
to set the correct transform.</div>

<h2 id=transform-property><span class=secno>2. </span> The <span
class=prop-name>‘<a href="#effects"><code
class=property>transform</code></a>’</span> Property</h2>
<p> A two-dimensional transformation is applied to an element through the
<span class=prop-name>‘<a href="#effects"><code
class=property>transform</code></a>’</span> property. This property
contains a list of <a href="#transform-functions">transform functions</a>.
The final transformation value for an element is obtained by performing a
matrix concatenation of each entry in the list. The set of transform
functions is similar to those allowed by SVG.

<h2 id=transform-origin-property><span class=secno>3. </span> The <span
class=prop-name>‘<a href="#transform-origin"><code
class=property>transform-origin</code></a>’</span> Property</h2>
<p> The <span class=prop-name>‘<a href="#transform-origin"><code
class=property>transform-origin</code></a>’</span> property
establishes the origin of transformation for an element. This property is
applied by first translating the element by the negated value of the
property, then applying the element's transform, then translating by the
property value. This effectively moves the desired transformation origin
of the element to (0,0) in the local coordinate system, then applies the
element's transform, then moves the element back to its original position.
<p>If only one value is specified, the second value is assumed to be
‘<code class=property>center</code>’. If two values are given
and at least one value is not a keyword, then the first value represents
the horizontal position (or offset) and the second represents the vertical
position (or offset). <var><percentage></var> and
<var><length></var> values here represent an offset of the transform
origin from the top left corner of the element's border box.
<p>If three or four values are given, then each
<var><percentage></var> or<var><length></var> represents an
offset and must be preceded by a keyword, which specifies from which edge
the offset is given. For example, ‘<code class=css>transform-origin:
bottom 10px right 20px</code>’ represents a ‘<code
class=css>10px</code>’ vertical offset up from the bottom edge and a
‘<code class=css>20px</code>’ horizontal offset leftward from
the right edge. If three values are given, the missing offset is assumed
to be zero.
<p>Positive values represent an offset <em>inward</em> from the edge of the
border box. Negative values represent an offset <em>outward</em> from the
edge of the border box.

<h2 id=transform-functions><span class=secno>4. </span> The Transformation
Functions</h2>
<p> The value of the <a class=prop-name href="#effects">transform</a>
property is a list of <transform-functions> applied in the order
provided. The individual transform functions are separated by whitespace.
The set of allowed transform functions is given below. In this list the
type <translation-value> is defined as a <length> or
<percentage> value, and the <angle> type is defined by <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/">CSS Values and Units.</a>
<dl>
<dt> <span class=prop-value>matrix(<number>, <number>,
<number>, <number>, <number>, <number>)</span>
<dd> specifies a 2D transformation in the form of a <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/coords.html#TransformMatrixDefined">transformation
matrix</a> of six values. <span
class=prop-value>matrix(a,b,c,d,e,f)</span> is equivalent to applying the
transformation matrix <strong>[a b c d e f]</strong>.
<dt> <span class=prop-value>translate(<translation-value>[,
<translation-value>])</span>
<dd> specifies a <a

translation</a> by the vector [tx, ty], where tx is the first
translation-value parameter and ty is the optional second
translation-value parameter. If <em><ty></em> is not provided, ty
has zero as a value.
<dt> <span class=prop-value>translateX(<translation-value>)</span>
<dd> specifies a <a

by the given amount in the X direction.
<dt> <span class=prop-value>translateY(<translation-value>)</span>
<dd> specifies a <a

by the given amount in the Y direction.
<dt> <span class=prop-value>scale(<number>[, <number>])</span>
<dd> specifies a <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/coords.html#ScalingDefined">2D scale</a>
operation by the [sx,sy] scaling vector described by the 2 parameters. If
the second parameter is not provided, it is takes a value equal to the
first.
<dt> <span class=prop-value>scaleX(<number>)</span>
<dd> specifies a scale operation using the [sx,1] scaling vector, where sx
is given as the parameter.
<dt> <span class=prop-value>scaleY(<number>)</span>
<dd> specifies a scale operation using the [1,sy] scaling vector, where sy
is given as the parameter.
<dt> <span class=prop-value>rotate(<angle>)</span>
<dd> specifies a <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/coords.html#RotationDefined">2D
rotation</a> by the angle specified in the parameter about the origin of
the element, as defined by the <a
href=
AF9A
"#transform-origin"><em>transform-origin</em></a> property.
<dt> <span class=prop-value>skewX(<angle>)</span>
<dd> specifies a <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/coords.html#SkewXDefined">skew
transformation along the X axis</a> by the given angle.
<dt> <span class=prop-value>skewY(<angle>)</span>
<dd> specifies a <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/coords.html#SkewYDefined">skew
transformation along the Y axis</a> by the given angle.
</dl>
<h2 id=transform-values><span class=secno>5. </span> Transform Values and
Lists</h2>
<p> The <translation-value> values are defined as [<percentage>
| <length>]. All other value types are described <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/syndata.html#values">as CSS types</a>.
If a list of transforms is provided, then the net effect is as if each
transform had been specified separately in the order provided. For
example,
<pre>
<div style="transform:translate(-10px,-20px) scale(2) rotate(45deg) translate(5px,10px)"/>
</pre>
<p> is functionally equivalent to:
<pre>
<div style="transform:translate(-10px,-20px)">
<div style="transform:scale(2)">
<div style="transform:rotate(45deg)">
<div style="transform:translate(5px,10px)">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</pre>
<div class=example>
<pre>
div {
transform: translate(100px, 100px);
}
</pre>
Move the element by 100 pixels in both the X and Y directions.
<div class=figure> <img alt="The 100px translation in X and Y"
src=transform1.png></div>
</div>
<div class=example>
<pre>
div {
height: 100px; width: 100px;
transform: translate(80px, 80px) scale(1.5, 1.5) rotate(45deg);
}
</pre>
Move the element by 80 pixels in both the X and Y directions, then scale
the element by 150%, then rotate it 45 degrees clockwise about the Z axis.
Note that the scale and rotate operate about the center of the element,
since the element has the default transform-origin of 50% 50%.

<h2 id=animation><span class=secno>6. </span> Transitions and animations
between transform values</h2>
<p> When animating or transitioning the value of a transform property the
rules described below are applied. The ‘<code
class=property>from</code>’ transform is the transform at the start
of the transition or current keyframe. The ‘<code
class=property>end</code>’ transform is the transform at the end of
the transition or current keyframe.
<ul>
<li> If the ‘<code class=property>from</code>’ and
‘<code class=property>to</code>’ transforms are both single
functions of the same type:
<ul>
<li> For translate, translateX, translateY, scale, scaleX, scaleY,
rotate, skew, skewX and skewY functions:
<ul>
<li> the individual components of the function are interpolated
numerically.
</ul>
<li> For matrix:
<ul>
<li> the matrix is decomposed using <a
href="http://tog.acm.org/GraphicsGems/gemsii/unmatrix.c">the method
described by unmatrix</a> into separate translation, scale, rotation
and skew matrices, then each decomposed matrix is interpolated
numerically, and finally combined in order to produce a resulting 3x2
matrix.
</ul>
</ul>
<li> If both the ‘<code class=property>from</code>’ and
‘<code class=property>to</code>’ transforms are "none":
<ul>
<li> There is no interpolation necessary
</ul>
<li> If one of the ‘<code class=property>from</code>’ or
‘<code class=property>to</code>’ transforms is "none":
<ul>
<li> The ‘<code class=property>none</code>’ is replaced by
an equivalent identity function list for the corresponding transform
function list.
<p> For example, if the ‘<code class=property>from</code>’
transform is "scale(2)" and the ‘<code
class=property>to</code>’ transform is "none" then the value
"scale(1)" will be used as the ‘<code
class=property>to</code>’ value, and animation will proceed
using the rule above. Similarly, if the ‘<code
class=property>from</code>’ transform is "none" and the
‘<code class=property>to</code>’ transform is "scale(2)
rotate(50deg)" then the animation will execute as if the ‘<code
class=property>from</code>’ value is "scale(1) rotate(0)".</p>
<p> The identity functions are translate(0), translateX(0),
translateY(0), scale(1), scaleX(1), scaleY(1), rotate(0), rotateX(0),
rotateY(0), skewX(0), skewY(0) and matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0).</p>
</ul>
<li> If both the ‘<code class=property>from</code>’ and
‘<code class=property>to</code>’ transforms have the same
number of transform functions and corresponding functions in each
transform list are of the same type:
<ul>
<li> Each transform function is animated with its corresponding
destination function in isolation using the rules described above. The
individual values are then applied as a list to produce resulting
transform value.
</ul>
<li> Otherwise:
<ul>
<li> The transform function lists are each converted into the equivalent
matrix value and animation proceeds using the rule for a single
function above.
</ul>
</ul>
<p> In some cases, an animation might cause a transformation matrix to be
singular or non-invertible. For example, an animation in which scale moves
from 1 to -1. At the time when the matrix is in such a state, the
transformed element is not rendered.
<h2 id=matrix-decomposition><span class=secno>7. </span> Matrix
decomposition for animation</h2>
<p> When interpolating between 2 matrices, each is decomposed into the
corresponding translation, rotation, scale, skew, and perspective values.
Not all matrices can be accurately described by these values. Those that
can't are decomposed into the most accurate representation possible, using
the technique below. This technique is taken from The "unmatrix" method in
"Graphics Gems II, edited by Jim Arvo". The pseudocode below works on a
4x4 homogeneous matrix. A 3x2 2D matrix is therefore first converted to
4x4 homogeneous form.

<div class=issue>
<p> The pseudocode here is written with column-major matrices, as would be
used in C/C++, but the SVG spec illustrates matrixes using row-major
notation. Change this pseudocode to avoid confusion?</p>
<p> It's also unfortunate that we have to include math for 4x4 matrices
into the 2D transforms spec. Find a way to avoid that?</p>

<p> Once decomposed, each component of each returned value of the source
