CSS3 Animations
The filter property is used in a very similar way to the CSS3 version. For example, to rotate
an element by 15 degrees, we could use the following CSS:
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix(
M11=1.4488887394336025,
M12=-0.388228567653781,
M21=0.388228567653781,
M22=1.4488887394336025,
SizingMethod='auto expand'
);
This code produces the following effect in IE8:
As you may notice in the previous screenshot, the size of the element has increased
considerably. This is due to the sizingMethod being set to auto expand. Another
thing you may notice is that two of the parameters are reversed in IE's implementation
of the matrix (parameters b and c).
Instead of hiding some of the content outside of the viewport, IE has repositioned the
element so that it remains entirely visible. This may or may not be beneficial depending
on the circumstances of a particular implementation.
