CompositeTransform.SkewX Property
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Gets or sets the x-axis skew angle, which is measured in degrees counterclockwise from the y-axis. A skew transform can be useful for creating the illusion of three-dimensional depth in a two-dimensional object.

Syntax
Public Property SkewX As Double
public double SkewX { get; set; }
<CompositeTransform SkewX="double"/>
Property Value
Type: System..::.Double
The skew angle, which is measured in degrees counterclockwise from the y-axis. The default is 0.
Remarks
Dependency property identifier field: SkewXProperty
To skew an object in place, set the CenterX and CenterY properties to the object's center point.
The local origin point 0,0 for an object can be offset on a Canvas using Canvas..::.Left and Canvas..::.Top, but this does not count as a transform; the object retains its own local origin in this case for transformation purposes.
This property accepts negative values. Positive values are interpreted as counterclockwise skew. Negative values are interpreted as clockwise skew. For values less than -360 or greater than 360, the values will wrap around and be treated as if the mathematical operation mod(360) was applied.
