Hi Astron,

Hi all,

As you might know, Writer currently does not allow to rotate images
(unless of course you're willing to use a rather hacky extension).

While the big goal should still be allow freely rotating images in the
future, inquiring minds would like to know how people would feel about
being able to rotate in 90 degree steps – since apparently implementing
that would be a lot easier.
Also, how would you feel about this being realised via toolbar buttons
instead of image handles? (We already feature an image toolbar that
allows to flip (=mirror) an image where it should be easy to add
Rotate Right and Rotate Left buttons.)

I'm not sure, whether a 90 degree rotation is easier. There is no problem to rotate the image. That can already be easily done with a simple matrix transformation. But you need to change the area into which the image is drawn. And that problem exists for a 90 degree rotation as well. You cannot rotate the image itself and insert a new rotated one, because the image might be linked and not embedded. Do you know, how that would be solved for a 90 degree rotation?

I have already tried to change area into which the image is drawn by setting suitable crop values. But currently there are heavy display problems, when using negative values there. The problems with negative values exists independent of any rotation, try it in the dialog.

Kind regards
Regina
