<transform-function>
CSS数据类型表示应用到一个该元素上的一个函数,以便修改它。通常,这种变换可以由矩阵表示,并且可以使用每个点上的矩阵乘法来确定所得到的图像。
2D图形 的坐标系统
目前有多种用来描述转换坐标模型,最常用的是笛卡尔坐标系统 和齐次坐标。
笛卡尔 坐标
在笛卡尔坐标系中,每个点都由横坐标和纵坐标这两个值来确定。 原点(0,0)在元素的左上角。不同于通常的几何约定,y轴是向底部延伸的,这与多数情况下的计算机图形学是一致的。每个点都使用数学上的向量符号(x,y)来描述。
每个线性函数使用2×2矩阵描述,如:
- a c
- b d
将矩阵乘法用于上述坐标系中的每个点,一个变换就形成了:
可以在一行中进行多次矩阵乘法进行变换:
根据这个描述就可以组合多种变换如:旋转、缩放、拉伸。事实上,所有的变换都可以被描述为一个线性函数。组合的变换是从右到左生效的。然而有一种变换不是线性的所以必须被单独列出来,那就是:位移。位移的向量(tx, ty)必须被单独表示为两个额外的参数。
奥古斯特·费迪南德·莫比乌斯的齐次坐标系表示了一个3X3的变换矩阵,虽然它对于非专业的人来说更复杂和少见,这并不影响将它表示为线性函数,并且这样就不需要考虑额外的特例。

CSS property. If the vector is not normalized, that is the sum of the square of its three coordinates is not 1, it will be normalized internally. A non-normalizable vector, like the null vector, [0, 0, 0], will cause the rotation not to be applied, without invaliding the whole CSS property.

scale()
The scale()
CSS function modifies the size of the element. It can either augment or decrease its size and as the amount of scaling is defined by a vector, it can do so more in one direction than in another one.
This transformation is characterized by a vector whose coordinates define how much scaling is done in each direction. If both coordinates of the vector are equal, the scaling is uniform, or isotropic, and the shape of the element is preserved. In that case, the scaling function defines a homothetic transformation.
When outside the ]-1, 1[
range, the scaling enlarges the element in the direction of the coordinate; when inside the range, it shrinks the element in that direction. When equal to 1
it does nothing and when negative it performs a point reflection and the size modification.

In that case, the scaling function defines a homothetic transformation.
