Get actual pixel coordinates of div after CSS3 transform

问题

Is it possible to get the four actual corner coordinates of a <div /> that has been transformed with CSS3 attributes like scale, skew and rotate?

Example:

Before the CSS3 transformation the coordinates are

x1y1: 0,0
x1y2: 0,200
x2y1: 200,0
x2yw: 200,200

and the div looks like this:

after a little bit of CSS3 magic transform: skew(10deg, 30deg) rotate(30deg) scale(1, 2); it looks like this:

How can I get the coordinates (with javascript) of the actual corners (not the bounding box)? Any help greatly appreciated.

After hours trying to calculate all the transformations and almost giving up desperately I came up with a simple yet genius little hack that makes it incredibly easy to get the corner points of the transformed <div />

I just added four handles inside the div that are positioned in the corners but invisible to see:

<div id="div">
  <div class="handle nw"></div>
  <div class="handle ne"></div>
  <div class="handle se"></div>
  <div class="handle sw"></div>
</div>

.handle {
    background: none;
    height: 0px;
    position: absolute;
    width: 0px;
}   
.handle.nw {
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
}   
.handle.ne {
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
}   
.handle.se {
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
}       
.handle.sw {
    left: 0;
    bottom: 0;
}

Now with jQuery (or pure js) it's a piece of cake to retrieve the position:

$(".handle.se").offset()

I don't think that there is API for that. As well as there is no API to convert coordinates in HTML5 <canvas>. But there is a way to calculate coordinates manually. Here is a class from my <canvas> library which converts coordinates: https://github.com/enepomnyaschih/jwcanvas/blob/master/jwidget/public/jwcanvas/transform.js

You can use it as a template.

To initialize coordinate system, you should just instantiate an object of JW.Canvas.Transform class and apply method complex. After that, you can apply other transformations to coordinate system via transform method. Matrixes are:

translate: [1, 0, 0, 1, x, y]
scale: [x, 0, 0, y, 0, 0]
rotate clockwise: [cos(a), sin(a), -sin(a), cos(a), 0, 0]
skew along x: [1, 0, tan(a), 1, 0, 0]
skew along y: [1, tan(a), 0, 1, 0, 0]

After that, you'll be able to convert coordinates via convert method. Use back method to calculate backwards convertion object.

I recommend to you this site : http://www.useragentman.com/blog/2011/01/07/css3-matrix-transform-for-the-mathematically-challenged/ and in particular the section "Other Interesting Facts About Matrices"...

But as Egor Nepomnyaschih pointed out, you just have to implement the calculus for each transformation and to chain them.

I have implemented a jsFiddle based on your example : http://jsfiddle.net/pvS8X/3/ .

Just be careful : the origin is the middle of your figure! If your want to refer to the top, left corner, you have to set this is your CSS code :

transform-origin: 0 0;

cf. https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/CSS/transform-origin.

The main method are these one :

function skew(p, alpha, beta) {
    var tan_a = Math.tan(alpha * Math.PI / 180),
        tan_b = Math.tan(beta * Math.PI / 180),
        p_skewed = {};

    p_skewed.x = p.x + p.y * tan_a;
    p_skewed.y = p.x * tan_b + p.y;

    return p_skewed;
}


function rotate(p, theta) {
    var sin_th = Math.sin(theta * Math.PI / 180),
        cos_th = Math.cos(theta * Math.PI / 180),
        p_rot = {};

    p_rot.x = p.x * cos_th - p.y * sin_th;
    p_rot.y = p.x * sin_th + p.y * cos_th;

    return p_rot;
}


function scale(p, sx, sy) {
    var p_scaled = {};

    p_scaled.x = p.x * sx;
    p_scaled.y = p.y * sy;

    return p_scaled;
}

where p is an object on the form { x: <some_horizontal_pos>, y: <some_vertical_pos>}.

You can find the new position of your element respective to the window using .getBoundingClientRect()
