ImageRotate

Syntax

ImageRotate( name, angle )

Or as a member:

someImage.rotate( angle )

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	Description
name	any	Yes	The image to rotate. Can be a BoxImage object or image name.
angle	numeric	Yes	The angle (in degrees) to rotate the image.

Returns

BoxImage — The rotated image object.

Description

Rotates an image by the specified angle (in degrees). Positive values rotate clockwise, negative values rotate counterclockwise. Useful for correcting orientation or creating rotated graphics.

Example

// Rotate image 90 degrees clockwise
result = ImageRotate( myImage, 90 );

// Rotate image 45 degrees counterclockwise
result = ImageRotate( myImage, -45 );

// As a member function
myImage.rotate( 180 );

Notes

• The name argument can be a BoxImage object or the name of an image variable in the current context.

• The operation modifies the image in place when used as a member function.

• Returns the modified image object for chaining or further processing.

• Only the angle argument is supported; x and y arguments are not implemented.

• Positive angles rotate clockwise, negative angles rotate counterclockwise.

• The image dimensions may change after rotation (except for 90° increments).

• For simple 90°, 180°, 270° rotations, consider using ImageFlip() with transpose values.
