rotate_image(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is rotate_image(3) from the Arcan Lua API manual, and the name is literally doing the most: rotate_image — Rotate the image around its own center. slay. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the synopsis is giving exactly this, bestie:

nil
rotate_image( vid, newang, dt )
rotate_image( vid, newx, newy, time )

yep, that first nil is in there too — we keep everything, no cap. 🫶

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so the original DESCRIPTION section is literally empty — not a single sentence, bestie. 💀 no extra lore to spill here, so the synopsis, notes, and example are carrying the whole vibe.

---

🌸 NOTES 🌸

1. For transformation hierarchies where the orientation will depend on that of a parent, grandparent etc. the desired effect might require that you define an origo translation through the use of image_origo_offset. periodt. 🦋

---

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

this example is literally the whole demo, copied exactly:

function rotate_image0()
      a = fill_surface(64, 64, 255, 0, 0);
      show_image(a);
      rotate_image(a, 180, 200);
      rotate_image(a, 270, 100);
      rotate_image(a, 380, 100);
      rotate_image(a, 0, 100);
end

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• image_origo_shift(3) — yes bestie, that's the exact reference printed. 👀 NOTES says image_origo_offset, but SEE ALSO says image_origo_shift(3), and we are not "fixing" it. we preserve. 💜
