[F] More Rotation

[Noitarud]

If you can add stretch and skew as seen in MSPaint, you can add in more versatile rotation than simple 90° steps. I have two versions for you to try: Θ is Angle in radians, ±178° max. Paint only accepts integers.

First one by user IronMortality (2,3 can be done together in Paint)

1. Horizontal skew by Angle
2. Vertical stretch by 1/cos(θ)² (write decimal as %)
3. Vertical skew by negative Angle
4. Horiz+Vert stretch by cos(θ)

Second by Murrogh (1,2 together). 0. Note ±>45° may be distorted more. Rotate 90/180/270 first.

1. Horizontal skew by Angle/2
2. Vertical skew by negative atan(sin(θ)) in degrees (not radians)
3. Horizontal skew by Angle/2

Enjoy!

Do you mean the rotation of the bitmap itself or the rotation of the canvas? I am thinking of adding custom bitmap rotation using RotSprite, but for canvas rotation I don't see a point in having custom rotation.

The features i am referring to are in older paint (98-XP, maybe newer but not the present 3D version). I do not know the difference between those terms, i will guess "canvas", so i will describe thus for 45° (Murrogh):

1. Draw square/rect on the canvas
2. On the menu bar, go: Image > Stretch/Skew… or: press Ctrl+W
3. The next two steps will work together: A)Enter 23 for skew Horizontal; B) Enter -35 for skew Vertical; C) Ok
4. Repeat step 2 and 3A; Ok

Besides all white space around it, your drawing will be rotated (with some inaccuracy due to integer limit, requires 22.5 and -35.26…).
