Manually setting the origin of an image?

in General Discussion • Other • 9 months ago

Hi all!

I would like to know if it is possible to manually set the origin of an image? What I mean by this is that currently, you have to say 'imageMode(CENTER)' and then use an image which I have had to move around in the paint software so that the center is the place I want the origin to be. However, I find this tedious and inefficient.

What I would like to know is if it is possible to move the origin of the image using code?

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Hope you all had a great Christmas,

KingD.

Instead of thinking about moving where the picture is, you should think about moving the canvas.

Also, couldn't you just calculate the distance from the center to the upper left corner and specify it with image()?

Hi,

I forgot to say that I need the image to rotate around the origin, so this is why I need to set one, but yes, the translate function seems like it will be my solution! Thanks a lot :D
