Rotation

From Toolbar

To rotate an image, in toolbar, click the Rotate button in the submenu of the Transforms. Clicking the button results in rotating the image to 90 degrees clockwise from the current state.

Programmatically, the Rotate method is used in the Image Editor control to rotate the image.

Angle cannot be specified in code to alter the rotation angle of the image

  • C#

    The Image Editor control can show the mirror image. To get the mirror image of the loaded image, click Flip button in the submenu of the Transforms in the toolbar.
