Hello,
I like to rotate a Figure depending on degree.
I have a connection with a symbol in the middle and depending on the
direction of the connection I have to align the symbol.
I have try it with gc.rotate() but unfortunately this rotates the figure
not around the center. Is there an other way to rotate a figure.
Here is my current, not suitable code:
Image img = new Image(display, 31, 31);
GC gc = new GC(img);
Transform tr = new Transform(display);
tr.rotate(45);
gc.setTransform(tr);
gc.drawLine(0,15,30,15);
g.drawImage(img,new Point(r.x+10,r.y-10));

The normal way is to translate the image, so that the centre of the image is where you want to rotate around, do the rotation, and then translate back again. So if you have a 100x100 image, and you want to rotate around the centre, you translate it (-50,-50), rotate (45) and then translate it back again (50,50).
However, this will result in some image data being pushed outside out of the drawable area, and I'm not sure how the Eclipse libraries handle that having never tried it myself...

Thanks for your answer. I understand your idee but I don't know how I
translate the image?
I have try it with gc.translate, but this do not bring the right
results. Further I do not understand how I can translate my image back
again because the translater is already set to gc. Or is this possible
with the Graphics g object?
Rectangle r = getBounds().getCopy();
Display display = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getDisplay();
Image img = new Image(display, 30, 30);
GC gc = new GC(img);
Transform tr = new Transform(display);
tr.translate(-15,-15); //??????
tr.rotate(45);
gc.setTransform(tr);
gc.drawLine(0,15,30,15);
g.translate(+15,+15);
g.drawImage(img,new Point(r.x,r.y));

Yes, your answer helps.
Here my solution:
Image img = new Image(display, 16,16);
Image img2 = new Image(display, "c:\\test.gif");
GC gc = new GC(img);
Transform tr = new Transform(display);
tr.translate(8,8);
tr.rotate(60);
tr.translate(-8,-8);
gc.setTransform(tr);
gc.drawImage(img2,0,0);
I am not sure if I have to work with to images but it works.
