I understand that NSAffineTransform can rotate an image while you're drawing it. But is there any way to rotate an image and get a new image? Something like:

NSImage* imageUp = [NSImage imageNamed:@"BaseImage"] ;
NSImage* imageLeft = [imageUp myRotateByDegrees:90] ;
...

How could I implement -[NSImage myRotateByDegrees] ?


Create the new image, swapping width and height, lock focus onto it, apply a transform that rotates 90 degrees, and draw the first into the second.

You can't do it without drawing, but the drawing doesn't need to be onscreen.
