The matrix() Method:
The matrix() method combines all of the 2D transform methods into one.
The matrix method take six parameters, containing mathematic functions, which allows you to: rotate, scale, move (translate), and skew elements.
Syntax: How to rotate a div element 30 degrees, using the matrix method
div
{
transform:matrix(0.866,0.5,-0.5,0.866,0,0);
-ms-transform:matrix(0.866,0.5,-0.5,0.866,0,0); /* IE 9 */
-moz-transform:matrix(0.866,0.5,-0.5,0.866,0,0); /* Firefox */
-webkit-transform:matrix(0.866,0.5,-0.5,0.866,0,0); /* Safari and Chrome */
-o-transform:matrix(0.866,0.5,-0.5,0.866,0,0); /* Opera */
}
