Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

The ImagickDraw::rotate() function is an inbuilt function of PHP which is used to apply the specified rotation to the current coordinate space.

bool ImagickDraw::rotate( $degrees )

Parameters: This function accepts a single parameter $degrees which is used to hold the value of degree of rotation. Return Value: This function does not returns any value. Below programs illustrates the ImagickDraw::rotate() function in PHP: Program 1:

php

<?php

// require_once('path/vendor/autoload.php');
 
// Create an Imagick Draw object
$draw = new \ImagickDraw();
 
// Set the stroke color
$strokeColor = new \ImagickPixel('Green');
 
// Set the fill color
$fillColor = new \ImagickPixel('Red');
 
// Set the stroke opacity
$draw->setStrokeOpacity(1);
 
// Set the stroke color
$draw->setStrokeColor('Green');
 
// Set the Fill Color
$draw->setFillColor('Red');
 
// Set the stroke width
$draw->setStrokeWidth(2);

// Draw the rectangle
$draw->rectangle(100, 200, 500, 400);
 
// Set the stroke color
$draw->setStrokeColor('black');
 
// Set the fill color
$draw->setFillColor('lightgreen');
 
// Set the rotation
$draw->rotate(10);
 
// Draw the rectangle
$draw->rectangle(100, 200, 500, 400);
 
//Create an imagick object
$imagick = new \Imagick();
 
// Set the image dimensions
$imagick->newImage(600, 500, 'White');
 
// Set the image format
$imagick->setImageFormat("png");
 
// Draw the image
$imagick->drawImage($draw);
header("Content-Type: image/png");
 
// Display the image
echo $imagick->getImageBlob();
?>

Output:

Program 2:

}
 
// Create an imagick object
$imagick = new \Imagick();
 
// Set the image dimensions
$imagick->newImage(350, 350, 'White');
 
// Set the image format
$imagick->setImageFormat("png");
 
// Draw the image
$imagick->drawImage($draw);
