I'm not saying build your own pixel rewriter. I'm saying that most tools only expose multiples of 90 because that's good enough 99.999% of the time. Pretty much any tool is going to be build on top of a graphics library of some sort, and I've yet to see such a library that doesn't support arbitrary rotation angles. So it'd just be a matter of making the CFC or CF/CFX tag leverage that capability.
For example, Alagad Image Component uses the Java 2D libraries, which certainly support arbitrary rotation, though I don't know if AIC exposes it. If it's not there, adding it would be trivial. I suspect that many (most?) other tools work in similar fashion. cheers, barneyb On 10/30/05, Claude Schneegans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>adding arbitrary rotation angles would be pretty trvial > to your choice of image manipulators, as long as you can get the > source. > > I wouldn't say so: rotation by an angle being a multiple of 90º is > pretty trivial, because the transformation can be reduced to some > symetry.
