BitmapImage.Rotation Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Media.Imaging

Assembly:

PresentationCore.dll

Gets or sets the angle that this BitmapImage is rotated to.

public:
 property System::Windows::Media::Imaging::Rotation Rotation { System::Windows::Media::Imaging::Rotation get(); void set(System::Windows::Media::Imaging::Rotation value); };

public System.Windows.Media.Imaging.Rotation Rotation { get; set; }

member this.Rotation : System.Windows.Media.Imaging.Rotation with get, set

Public Property Rotation As Rotation

Property Value

Rotation

The rotation that is used for the BitmapImage. The default is Rotate0.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to rotate an image by using Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) and code.

<Image Width="150" Margin="5" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1">
  <Image.Source>
    <TransformedBitmap Source="/sampleImages/watermelon.jpg" >
      <TransformedBitmap.Transform>
        <RotateTransform Angle="90"/>
      </TransformedBitmap.Transform>
    </TransformedBitmap>
  </Image.Source>
</Image>

// Create Image element.
Image rotated90 = new Image();
rotated90.Width = 150;

// Create the TransformedBitmap to use as the Image source.
TransformedBitmap tb = new TransformedBitmap();

// Create the source to use as the tb source.
BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage();
bi.BeginInit();
bi.UriSource = new Uri(@"sampleImages/watermelon.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
bi.EndInit();

// Properties must be set between BeginInit and EndInit calls.
tb.BeginInit();
tb.Source = bi;
// Set image rotation.
RotateTransform transform = new RotateTransform(90);
tb.Transform = transform;
tb.EndInit();
// Set the Image source.
rotated90.Source = tb;

' Create Image element.
Dim rotated90 As New Image()
rotated90.Width = 150

' Create the TransformedBitmap to use as the Image source.
Dim tb As New TransformedBitmap()

' Create the source to use as the tb source.
Dim bi As New BitmapImage()
bi.BeginInit()
bi.UriSource = New Uri("sampleImages/watermelon.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)
bi.EndInit()

' Properties must be set between BeginInit and EndInit calls.
tb.BeginInit()
tb.Source = bi
' Set image rotation.
Dim transform As New RotateTransform(90)
tb.Transform = transform
tb.EndInit()
' Set the Image source.
rotated90.Source = tb

Remarks

Rotation is performed after scaling. This means that an image that has a Rotation of Rotate90, a DecodePixelWidth of 10, and DecodePixelHeight of 5 will result in an image that has a width of 5 and a height of 10.
