<p><strong><code>scaleX()</code></strong> CSS 函数将每个元素点的横坐标修改为一个常数因子，除了该比例因子为1，在这种情况下，函数是身份变换。 缩放不是各向同性的，并且元素的角度不保守。</p>

<p><img src="https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/12117/scaleX.png" style="height: 315px; width: 372px;"></p>

<p><code>scaleX(sx)</code> 是 <code>scale(sx, 1)</code> 或 <code>scale3d(sx, 1, 1) </code>的一个速记/缩写。</p>

<div class="note">
<p>Note:</p>

<p><strong><code>scaleX(-1)</code> </strong>定义一个 <a class="external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_symmetry">轴向对称性(axial symmetry)</a> ，它具有一个垂直轴通过原点 (由 {{cssxref("transform-origin")}} 属性规定)。</p>
