Glossary Term

perspective

3 tags 1 category

The perspective CSS property determines the distance between the z=0 plane and the user in order to give a 3D-positioned element some perspective.

Each 3D element with z>0 becomes larger; each 3D-element with z<0 becomes smaller. The strength of the effect is determined by the value of this property. Large values of perspective cause a small transformation; small values of perspective cause a large transformation.

The parts of the 3D elements that are behind the user — i.e., their z-axis coordinates are greater than the value of the perspective CSS property — are not drawn.

Syntax example: perspective: none;
