Maybe someone knows

[FakeOut]

Hi I'm new here and I've got a very quick question.
Is there any way of rotating an image in java? For example, I have a picture of a car and I want to prompt the user to enter a number between 1 and 359. The program then rotates the image by that many degrees. I just want to know because it will take way too long for me to add the rotated images one by one.

Thanks in advance.

hello, and welcome to compsci!

after looking thru the api things that might be able to help you out,
Graphics2D -> drawRenderableImage() and rotate()

HeavenAgain might be right, but when I've done it I've used AffineTransform. AffineTransform basically rotates the whole drawing context which is why I save the current settings first then reset them after.

code:

public void draw (Graphics g)     {                 Graphics2D g2D = (Graphics2D)g;                         AffineTransform saveXform = g2D.getTransform();                 AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform();                 at.rotate(direction,posX+25,posY+25);                 g2D.transform(at);                 g2D.drawImage(shipPic,(int)posX,(int)posY,panel);                 g2D.setTransform(saveXform);             } // end of draw()
