[SOLVED] ImageryComponent rotation

Postby kiske1 » Fri Aug 26, 2016 10:16

Hello! A quick one... :)

Is it possible to rotate only a single ImageryComponent within a widget via code or XML? Maybe rotating only the area inside?

Thanks!

As of now, no way to rotate anything there. You can only rotate the entire widget.

What is your use-case? Do you intend to rotate by multiples of 90° to reuse imagery or something else?

Thank you for the answer, the use case is a button wich holds an image inside a frame. The frame is slightly rotated, so the image in the imagerycomponent is rotated too. To achieve this I put the image already rotated in the imageset, but this is a waste of imageset space, so I thought about rotating the image after the widget creation.
I think I'll go with creating my own class wich manages the two separate widgets as one.

Why not use a child widget just for the image?
