TheskewX() method of theDOMMatrixReadOnly interface returns a newDOMMatrix created by applying the specified skew transformation to the source matrix along its x-axis. The original matrix is not modified.

To mutate the matrix as you skew it along the x-axis, seeDOMMatrix.skewXSelf().

Syntax

Parameters

sX: A number; the angle, in degrees, by which to skew the matrix along the x-axis.

Return value

ADOMMatrix.

Examples

const matrix = new DOMMatrix(); // create a matrixconsole.log(matrix.toString()); // no transform applied// "matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0)"console.log(matrix.skewX(14).toString());// "matrix(1, 0, 0.25, 1, 0, 0)"console.log(matrix.toString()); // original is unchanged// "matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0)"
