Rotates the local geometric transform by the specified amount. This method prepends the rotation to the transform.

Overloads

RotateTransform(Single)

Rotates the local geometric transform by the specified amount. This method prepends the rotation to the transform.
RotateTransform(Single, MatrixOrder)

Rotates the local geometric transform by the specified amount in the specified order.

The angle of rotation.

order
MatrixOrder

A MatrixOrder that specifies whether to append or prepend the rotation matrix.

Examples

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, an OnPaint event object. The code

Notice that the gradient of the lower ellipse is at a 45 degree angle to the x-axis of the top ellipse. Also notice that a call to the TranslateTransform method is used to justify the left edge of the gradient fill with the left edge of the lower ellipse.

private:
   void RotateTransformExample( PaintEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Create a LinearGradientBrush.
      Rectangle myRect = Rectangle(20,20,200,100);
      LinearGradientBrush^ myLGBrush = gcnew LinearGradientBrush( myRect,Color::Blue,Color::Red,0.0f,true );

      // Draw an ellipse to the screen using the LinearGradientBrush.
      e->Graphics->FillEllipse( myLGBrush, myRect );

      // Rotate the LinearGradientBrush.
      myLGBrush->RotateTransform( 45.0f, MatrixOrder::Prepend );

      // Rejustify the brush to start at the left edge of the ellipse.
      myLGBrush->TranslateTransform(  -100.0f, 0.0f );

      // Draw a second ellipse to the screen using
      // the transformed brush.
      e->Graphics->FillEllipse( myLGBrush, 20, 150, 200, 100 );
   }

 private void RotateTransformExample(PaintEventArgs e)
 {
              
     // Create a LinearGradientBrush.
     Rectangle myRect = new Rectangle(20, 20, 200, 100);
     LinearGradientBrush myLGBrush = new LinearGradientBrush(
         myRect, Color.Blue, Color.Red,  0.0f, true);
              
     // Draw an ellipse to the screen using the LinearGradientBrush.
     e.Graphics.FillEllipse(myLGBrush, myRect);
              
     // Rotate the LinearGradientBrush.
     myLGBrush.RotateTransform(45.0f, MatrixOrder.Prepend);

     // Rejustify the brush to start at the left edge of the ellipse.
     myLGBrush.TranslateTransform(-100.0f, 0.0f);
              
     // Draw a second ellipse to the screen using
     // the transformed brush.
     e.Graphics.FillEllipse(myLGBrush, 20, 150, 200, 100);
