flipX()
method of the
DOMMatrixReadOnly
interface creates a new matrix being the result of the original matrix flipped about the x-axis.
DOMMatrixReadOnly.flipX();
Returns a DOMMatrix
containing a new matrix being the result of the original matrix flipped about the x-axis, which is equivalent to multiplying the matrix by DOMMatrix(-1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0)
. The original matrix is not modified.
This SVG contains two paths in the shape of a triangle, both drawn to the same position. Note that the x co-ordinate of the viewBox attribute is negative, showing us content from both sides of the x-axis.
<svg width="100" height="100" viewBox="-50 0 100 100"> <path fill="red" d="M 0 50 L 50 0 L 50 100 Z" /> <path id="flipped" fill="blue" d="M 0 50 L 50 0 L 50 100 Z" /> </svg>
This JavaScript first creates an identity matrix, then uses the `flipX()` method to create a new matrix, which is then applied to the blue triangle, inverting it across the x-axis. The red triangle is left in place.
const flipped = document.getElementById('flipped'); const matrix = new DOMMatrixReadOnly(); const flippedMatrix = matrix.flipX(); flipped.setAttribute('transform', flippedMatrix.toString());
