Short of permanently rotating an image; is it possible to specify that an image be rotated x degrees for a particular display? I ask because I'd like to modify the Travelogue theme (http://www.markwest.me.uk/changetheme-travelogue.phtml) to accept random images in its header, but don't want to store pre-rotated copies of all my snapshots. Regards, Mark |

you could make a module to rotate on the fly.. would be cpu intensive on every request though. probably better to make the module pick an image, rotate and save/cache the image. use that one for some amount of time before picking a new one. all of this takes coding, of course..

While exploring my options for rotating images, I discovered that ImageMagick provides for a rotate option (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#rotate). I've also learned that Gallary has an ImageMagick plugin. Would anyone happen to know if this plugin supports the full ImageMagick option set?

gallery only exposes rotating by multiples of 90 degree in its API. you can easily extend the imagemagick module of g2 to accept arbitrary angles.

Thanks valiant, I'll take a look at the imagemagick module and see what I can do. Whether (and how) I'm able to make it work myself or if I run into problems, I'll let you know here.
