Example

// Rotate the IMG_Image1 control by 45 degrees
Result1 is boolean
Result1 = IMG_Image1.Rotation(45)
IF Result1 = False THEN Error("The operation failed")

Syntax

Performing a simple rotation Hide the details

<Result> = <Image control>.Rotation(<Rotation angle> [, <Options>])

<Result>: Boolean

True if the rotation was performed,
False otherwise.

<Image control>: Control name

Name of the Image control to use.

<Rotation angle>: Real

Rotation angle (in degrees).
If the angle is positive, the image rotates clockwise.
If the angle is negative, the image rotates anticlockwise.

<Options>: Integer

Versions 17 and later
Rotation options:
drAdapt The image is flipped and enlarged. Then, its size is reduced to correspond to the initial image size.
drDefault Enlarge the image (if necessary) so that it corresponds to the dimensions of rotated image.
drNoEnlarging The image is turned but it is not enlarged: the image may be truncated.
Constant used by default for the Image controls.

This parameter is not available.

Performing a rotation while modifying the rotation center Hide the details

<Result> = <Image control>.Rotation(<Rotation angle> , <X rotation center> , <Y rotation center> [, <Options>])

<Result>: Boolean

True if the rotation was performed,
False otherwise.

<Image control>: Control name

Name of the Image control to use.

<Rotation angle>: Real

Rotation angle (in degrees).

<X rotation center>: Integer

X coordinate (in pixels) of the new rotation center.

<Y rotation center>: Integer

Y coordinate (in pixels) of the new rotation center.

<Options>: Integer constant

Rotation options:
drDefault Enlarge the image (if necessary) so that it corresponds to the dimensions of rotated image.
drNoEnlarging The image is flipped but not enlarged
Constant used by default for the Image controls.

Versions 18 and later

Remarks

End of drawing

The transformation of the image will not be displayed if <Image>.EndDrawing and <Image>.Rotation are called in the same process.

Pattern and PHP

In PHP, the drawing functions are based on the graphic library GD. This library is commonly used by the PHP hosting companies and therefore it is always enabled. The version of the GD library must be version 2.0.28 (or later). This library can be downloaded from the PHP site.

To enable (if necessary) this library locally, the following elements are required:

PHP installed.
the PHP.INI file found in the Windows directory must contain the following line: "extension=php_gd2.dll" (instead of ";extension=php_gd2.dll").
the php_gd2.dll file must exist in the directory of PHP extensions. This directory is defined in the PHP.INI file by the "extension_dir" variable.

Versions 16 and later

Drawing in Browser code

Some drawing functions are available in Browser code. The drawing functions in Browser code are based on the HTML 5 standard. More specifically, these functions are based on the "canvas" tag of HTML 5.

The drawing features in browser code are available for the recent browsers only (supporting the HTML 5 standard). To find out whether the drawing features are proposed by your browser, use DrawingAvailable.

Caution: To use the drawing functions with Internet Explorer 9, the project must include the reference to the DTD file. To do so, the HTML mode must be "HTML 4.01 Transitional + DTD". This option is available in the "Advanced" tab of the description window of project.
Reminder: To open the project description window, go to the "Project" pane, "Project" group and click "Description".

Special case: Drawing in the browser of an Android phone: The browser drawing functions are only available starting with version 3 of Android.
