ImageGlue .NET - Rotating an image Example Code

Rotating an image

This example shows how to draw an image rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

	1

Creating the Bitmap

We will need source and destinatino bitmaps so we create them here.

[C#]

using (Image image = Bitmap.FromFile(Server.MapPath("rez/laurentiu-iordache-qstGMhWuORE-unsplash.jpg")))
// NB horizontal and vertical measurements are swapped because we are rotating by 90 degrees
using (Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(image.Height, image.Width)) {
  bitmap.SetResolution(image.VerticalResolution, image.HorizontalResolution);

	2

Drawing the Image

Draw the image rotated 90 degrees. Because we rotate around the origin we will lose the image off the edge of our bitmap unless we translate the image back onto the bitmap.

[C#]

  using (Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap)) {
    graphics.TranslateTransform(image.Height, 0);
    graphics.RotateTransform(90);
    graphics.DrawImage(image, image.Bounds);
  }

	3

Saving

Finally we save the picture as a medium quality JPEG image.

[C#]

  EncoderParameters pars = new EncoderParameters() { Quality = 50 };
  bitmap.Save(Server.MapPath("Rotating_an_Image_3.jpg"), ImageFormat.Jpeg, pars);
}
