Rotating Image with AffineTransform

Question

I have got class called Airplane. Inside this class i have got variable img which is a BufferedImage type. What is more i have got class WorldMap which overrides function paintComponent(Graphics g):

@Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
    g2d.drawImage(mapa, 0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight(), null); 
    drawAirplanes(g2d);
}

Function drawAirplanes() look like this:

private void drawAirplane(Graphics2D g){
    for(Samolot i: s){
        i.rotateAirplane();
        g.drawImage(i.getImg(),i.getX(),i.getY(),(int)i.getDim().getWidth(),(int)i.getDim().getHeight(),  null);
    }
}

It simply need to 1) rotate airplane (BufferedImage inside Airplane object) 2) draw him.

My Airplane.rotateAirplane() function looks like this:

 public void rotateSamolot() {
   AffineTransform tx = new AffineTransform();

   tx.translate(10,10); //10, 10 is height and width of img divide by 2
   tx.rotate(Math.PI / 2);
   tx.translate(-10,-10); 

   AffineTransformOp op = new AffineTransformOp(tx, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);

   BufferedImage newImage =new BufferedImage(20, 20, img.getType()); //20, 20 is a height and width of img ofc
   op.filter(img, newImage);

       this.img = newImage;
 }

ofc when im running my program only mapa object is drawn. when im deleting this lane

this.img = newImage;

i have got ofc my airplane too but not rotated.

Solution

The major problem (that I can see) is the translation of the Graphics context which is offset the position that the rotation will take place.

I "think" rotation by default occurs at the top/left corner of the Graphics context (where it's 0x0 position is, which you've translated to something else), this could be causing the image to be rotated out of frame (or viewable area)

You should provide a "anchor" point where the rotation takes place, typically, the centre is my personal preference.

The following example simply has a master image (due to size constraints I had to scale it, but you may not need this). I then use this to generate a "rotated" instance which is sized to allow the image to fit within in. This is a lot of fun with trig - I stole the code from somewhere, so credit to that developer.

The example allows you to click any where and it will change the rotation pivot, so you can see what's going on. The default position is the centre of the pane...
