Greetings. I'm a newbie to Cocoa, bigitme. What I want to do is basic, rotate an image in an NSView. Can't find any examples or info that's simple enough for me to get a good grasp on this. I believe this must be done with NSAffineTransform. The closest I can get on my own is applying the transform and getting the image rotated but I'm only getting the upper right hand corner of the image displayed/rotated.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Prefer a very simple bare bones example.

Thanks!

caution, code written in Safari and not tested.

many thanks and way to code from the hip! save/restoreGraphicState is what i was missing. i couldn't get your example to work with [compositeToPoint, operation] but i did get it to work with [drawAtPoint, fromRect, operation, fraction]. thanks again, this works very nicely. my small change is below for anyone else interested.

NSAffineTransform *transform = [NSAffineTransform transform];
[transform translateXBy:0.5f * [image width] yBy:0.5f * [image height]];
[transform rotateByDegrees:45.0f];
[transform translateXBy:-0.5f * [image width] yBy:-0.5f * [image height]];
[NSGraphicsContext saveGraphicsState];
[transform concat];
//[image compositeToPoint:NSMakePoint(0.0f, 0.0f) operation:NSCompositeSourceOver];
[image drawAtPoint:NSMakePoint(0.0f, 0.0f)
fromRect:[self bounds]
operation:NSCompositeSourceOver
fraction:1];
[NSGraphicsContext restoreGraphicsState];
