Rotating Images

[idoctor]

I use Servoy to store and retrieve JPG images. Sometimes the camera is turned to the side when the photo is taken. It would be really nice if the new image plugin had functionality to rotate images. If I was wishing I would wish for 90 180 270 degrees of rotation as well as flipping an image about the vertical and horizontal axis. I would use this in my solution immediatly and it would take care of a common complaint of my users.

Thanks

Hi John,

Don't know if it's possible - but maybe the OLE bean?

Hi John.

How would you like to control the rotation ?
I could implement this reasonably soon if your control requirement isn't too complex ?

All I need is to be able to write a method that performs the calculation to rotate the image. The input would be a blob plus instructions on how to rotate the blob. The output would be the rotated blob.

I'm sure you've probably found a solution for this already, but I've been on a little graphics kick recently and decided to put together a quick plugin that does some neat things with images. It may or may not fit your need, but does do image flipping/rotating by degrees, etc.

Have fun!

Fred,

The Servovians beat you to it. Servoy already includes a plugin with this functionality. We use it in our product and it works well.

That's cool. I was sure someone had done it already. I've been doing some fun things with graphics in other applications I'm writing and thought it would be cool to have something for Servoy that does things like image reflection, reflective gradients, and grayscale conversion, etc... There are a lot of other effects I need to put into it as well.

It's probably not very useful for most applications, but I figure what the hell... it's not like there isn't a lot of other useless crap out there anyway
