oakbridge Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Is there a way to manipulate the orientation of a picture based on the information found in GetContainerAttribute? I'm assuming that we cannot change the data that is in the file. The problem I'm seeing is a few images are coming into FM sideways or upside-down. Was hoping that I could add a couple of buttons on the layout for the user to 'rotate left' or 'rotate right'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie John Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 A bit clunky i know but one way is to create two versions of the picture - one in landscape and the other in Portrait (rotated). Generate a flag from a button script which controls the hide criteria. If you want this a little more automated and you are always expecting a particular orientation use PatternCount(Images::image rotation;"180") or PatternCount(Images::image rotation;"90 degrees") to generate the hide options.

oakbridge Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Sadly that's what I was afraid of. At times I am amazed at the features we do get in FM. And just as often I am amazed at features that seem simple, but are missing. Even the Mac Preview app has the ability to rotate a file and then save it. Thanks John for the suggestion.
