Setting the auto expand parameter causes the image to increase in size, which is a slight
inconvenience to say the least. However if we don't set this, the element will be clipped,
as shown in the following screenshot:
Clipping pretty much destroys our simple box (and the content is still scaled), as we can see
in the previous screenshot.
CSS3 3D transforms
All of the transform functions we have looked at so far are two-dimensional, operating on
just the x and y axes. Transforms that operate in three dimensions, along x, y, and z axes have
also been proposed.
3D equivalents of all of the transform functions exist and usually just take an extra parameter
which corresponds to the vector of each dimension, and the angle. For example, a 3D
rotation could be added using this code:
transform: rotate3d(0, 1, 0, 30deg);
As with 2D transforms, there is an all-encompassing matrix function that allows us to
implement any of the other transforms and allows us to combine some of them together
on a single element.
