Is this possible?!
I can't find a way to do it and I don't fancy having to create multiple images of something just because I want to change the orientation!

Re: Rotating an image
You could do this if H&M supported fragment identifiers in image URIs, as proposed here, e.g. like this:Ga Bowen wrote:Is this possible?! I can't find a way to do it and I don't fancy having to create multiple images of something just because I want to change the orientation!

Re: Rotating an image
You can flip, rotate and perform a wealth of other operations on your images with the integrated Impict image editor in Help+Manual. Just click on the image in the Help+Manual editor to select it, then right-click on it and select Picture > Edit with Impict in the context menu to edit it. Then right-click on the image and select Resize and Effects to open the dialog with all the different tools you can use for filtering, flipping, rotating etc.
After rotating you will generally need to reset the canvas background with the Auto Adjust Size next to the Zoom tool. Press F1 in Impict for full documentation.

Re: Rotating an image
I think I know the answer already ("no") but I'll ask anyway. Is there a way to rotate an image *without editing the image itself?*
As in, so the same image file can be used elsewhere in the document un-rotated. (I don't want to have two copies of the image file; I'd rather just change the orientation within H&M).
Here's my use-case: I have a few large and complex diagrams that appear in both HTML output and PDF. In the PDF version, the images are so small (because they are restricted to the width of a physical page) that the text is hard to read. So I would like to add a section at the back of the document (PDF build only) where such diagrams appear full-page and rotated. When the images are added in the main part of the document, I would include a line (which appears in the PDF-only build) that says "for a larger version of this diagram, see [XREF to PDF-only "Diagrams" section at the back].
I'm guessing there's no easy way to do that.
Feature request: add a "rotate" feature to the Image properties, to make this easy.

You can do this in HTML-based output using transform in CSS. So for example:
Code: Select all
<div style="transform:rotate(30deg);">
<img src="... >
</div>
How well it works depends on which browser you try. In Edge at least, you don't need the containing <div>:
Code: Select all
<img style="transform:rotate(30deg);" src="... >

Martin.
Re: Rotating an image
Thanks, Martin. Your solution is interesting, but a bit much for my purposes.
I'll wait for the "Rotate" button.
