A reference guide for the CSS rotateX() function, which rotates elements around the x-axis in 3D space. Covers syntax, angle unit types (deg, grad, rad, turn), and the importance of the perspective and transform-style properties for realistic 3D effects. Includes practical examples: flip cards using backface-visibility, a 3D loading spinner combining rotateX() and rotateY() in keyframe animations, and a 3D accordion with transform-origin manipulation for a door-opening reveal effect.
