Rotate 2d bitmap

[phi]

Hi,
I want to rotate a bitmap, which has been loaded, using getTexture, now I want to rotate it. I found this in the help, but I don't know, how to use it...
"
template<class T>
void irr::core::vector2d< T >::rotateBy ( f64 degrees,
const vector2d< T > & center
) [inline]

rotates the point around a center by an amount of degrees.
"

The image has been loaded to rotate_BMP.
Does anyone know, how to rotate it?

Thanks!!!

The thing you found in the api is not for textures, its for a 2D vector.
As far as I know, there is no function to rotate a texture.
You can rotate the texture with a texture editing program and use
IGUIImage and setImage to change an image when the program is running.

basically, phi, the 2D drawing capacity of irrlicht does not support rotating textures during blit-- you cant get it to do what you want. You either have to do everything in 3D and use 3D rotations, or extend irrlicht

OK, thanks for these answers!

Probably, I will just create a 3d box and set the texture to it, and then rotate this box.
