Crash: How to rotate a bitmap?

Archive
1

I’m making a lot of progress learning my new cobra. It’s quite easy to make it do what I want.

But I can’t figure out how to rotate an image/bitmap. Is there a built-in function that I just don’t know about?

This is what I’m trying:


            _pressedButton.RotateImage(90, 1, 1, _pressedButton, 1, 1, 100, 100, 1);
            _imgButton.Bitmap = _pressedButton;

And I get:

Exception System.ArgumentException - 0xfd000000 (1)

I remember that image should be square for rotation to work.

Adjusted the images to be square.

Adjusted the code as follows:


_pressedButton.RotateImage(90, 0, 0, _pressedButton, 0, 0, _pressedButton.Width, _pressedButton.Height, 255);
 _imgButton.Bitmap = _pressedButton;

Still fails

Is there a way to get more information out of the stack traces?

 _pressedButton = new Bitmap(Resources.GetBytes(Resources.BinaryResources.down), Bitmap.BitmapImageType.Jpeg);

@ JustinKScott -

You can’t rotate an image into itself.

For example the following code will “draw” your _pressedButton rotated into _display Bitmap.

Bitmap _display = new Bitmap(_pressedButton.Width, _pressedButton.Height);
_display.RotateImage(270, 0, 0, _pressedButton, 0, 0, 
_pressedButton.Width, _pressedButton.Height, 255);

I have just tried it. It works.

@ architect,

You nailed it!
