Rotating Buffered Image

[jsobel]

Ok i've been searching on google for the past half hour looking for a way to rotate a buffered image by x amount of derees in a method that looks something like this

public static BufferedImage rotate(BufferedImage a,int rotation)
{
return //the rotated BufferedImage
}

btw i dont want to draw it rotated i need to rotate it seperately so i can save it rotated

[jsobel]

i found this on the web but it cuts off some of the picture when rotated

        public static BufferedImage rotate(BufferedImage img, int rotation) 
        {
	int w = img.getWidth();  
	int h = img.getHeight();  
	BufferedImage newImage = new BufferedImage(width, height, img.getType());
        Graphics2D g2 = newImage.createGraphics();
        g2.rotate(Math.toRadians(rotation), w/2, h/2);  
        g2.drawImage(img,null,0,0);
	return newImage;  
	}

Moved from Advanced Java. Please take the effort to find a suitable section for your questions. Moreover, a simple application of available API can in no way be considered an advanced question.

Copying code (which may or may not be correct) and trying to use it without understanding it doesn't further your knowledge. Sketch out your original image and the 'rotated' newImage on paper and you should be immediately able to spot what's wrong.

But, where do the first two parameters to the constructor of newImage come from?

I have an image i load into a class in the classes main method using the imageio class then i call the rotate method on it and then i save it to a file and part of the image is missing it has something to do with the size of the new image

this is what i mean by being cut off when turned

[DarrylBurke]

it has something to do with the size of the new image

Si fix that! Your code specifies the size when constructing the BufferedImage. Do the math and specify the correct size.

yeah well even when i do that the image gets cut off because the graphics size doesn't change

[DarrylBurke]

Graphics doesn't have a size.

I dont know but when i rotate an image and put it into a larger image it still gets cut off
