# CATransform3DRotate(_:_:_:_:_:)

Rotates t by angle radians about the vector (x, y, z) and returns the result.

## Declaration

```swift
func CATransform3DRotate(_ t: CATransform3D, _ angle: CGFloat, _ x: CGFloat, _ y: CGFloat, _ z: CGFloat) -> CATransform3D
```

## Discussion

Discussion If the vector has zero length, the behavior is undefined: t = rotation(angle, x, y, z) * t.
