I need to be able to rotate images individually(in java). The only thing I have found so far is g2d.drawImage(image, affinetransform, ImageObserver ). Unfortunately, I need to draw the image at a specific point, and there is no method with an argument that 1.rotates the image separately and 2. allows me to set the x and y. any help is appreciated
This question is related to

rotation

Sorry, but all the answers are difficult to understand for me as a beginner in graphics...
After some fiddling, this is working for me and it is easy to reason about.
@Override
public void draw(Graphics2D g) {
AffineTransform tr = new AffineTransform();
// X and Y are the coordinates of the image
tr.translate((int)getX(), (int)getY());
tr.rotate(
Math.toRadians(this.rotationAngle),
img.getWidth() / 2,
img.getHeight() / 2
);
// img is a BufferedImage instance
g.drawImage(img, tr, null);
}
I suppose that if you want to rotate a rectangular image this method wont work and will cut the image, but I thing you should create square png images and rotate that.
public static BufferedImage rotateCw( BufferedImage img )
{
int width = img.getWidth();
int height = img.getHeight();
BufferedImage newImage = new BufferedImage( height, width, img.getType() );
for( int i=0 ; i < width ; i++ )
for( int j=0 ; j < height ; j++ )
newImage.setRGB( height-1-j, i, img.getRGB(i,j) );
return newImage;
}

AffineTransform
instances can be concatenated (added together). Therefore you can have a transform that combines 'shift to origin', 'rotate' and 'shift back to desired position'.
A simple way to do it without the use of such a complicated draw statement:
//Make a backup so that we can reset our graphics object after using it.
AffineTransform backup = g2d.getTransform();
//rx is the x coordinate for rotation, ry is the y coordinate for rotation, and angle
//is the angle to rotate the image. If you want to rotate around the center of an image,
//use the image's center x and y coordinates for rx and ry.
AffineTransform a = AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(angle, rx, ry);
//Set our Graphics2D object to the transform
g2d.setTransform(a);
//Draw our image like normal
g2d.drawImage(image, x, y, null);
//Reset our graphics object so we can draw with it again.
g2d.setTransform(backup);
