Rotational + scaling transformation matrix

Post by Jax »

Hello! I am currently trying to create an animation by rotating an image around it's center. There is a guide from the docs, but it seems to use the rotator meter and the image size cannot be dynamically changed. Is there a way to do this with transformation matrix on a image meter? Thanks :welcome:

Yes, you can do this using an image meter (you can resize the image using W & H) and add a TransformationMatrix to the image meter.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=250
SkinWidth=((SQRT((#ImageWidth#**2)+(#ImageHeight#**2)))+(#XOffset#*0.5))
SkinHeight=((SQRT((#ImageWidth#**2)+(#ImageHeight#**2)))+(#YOffset#*0.5))

[Variables]
ImageWidth=160
ImageHeight=160
XOffset=40
YOffset=40
RotationCenterX=(#ImageWidth#*0.5+#XOffset#)
RotationCenterY=(#ImageHeight#*0.5+#YOffset#)
Angle=[loop1]

[Loop1]
Measure=Loop
StartValue=0
EndValue=345
Increment=15
LoopCount=0
InvertMeasure=0

[Image]
Meter=Image
X=#XOffset#
Y=#YOffset#
W=#ImageWidth#
H=#ImageHeight#
SolidColor=247,47,47,200
AntiAlias=1
DynamicVariables=1
TransformationMatrix=(Cos(Rad(#Angle#)));(-Sin(Rad(#Angle#)));(Sin(Rad(#Angle#)));(Cos(Rad(#Angle#)));(#RotationCenterX#-#RotationCenterX#*Cos(Rad(#Angle#))-#RotationCenterY#*Sin(Rad(#Angle#)));(#RotationCenterY#+#RotationCenterX#*Sin(Rad(#Angle#))-#RotationCenterY#*Cos(Rad(#Angle#)))

It can be, using the same TransformationMatrix. If eclectic-tech's solution doesn't meat your needs and you would like to see how such a TransformationMatrix can be used to resize a Rotator meter, please let me know.

Thanks eclectic-tech for your solution! This helped me out a lot :D

Rotator meter's flexibility for me is a bit low, so I won't be using that. Thanks for the offer though balala :great:

I am really a noob at tm.

So, isn't tm relative to meter position?

I'm no expert on TM either. but the answer to your question is 'yes', it is relative to 1 fixed point in the meter defined by Tx and Ty values. By default it is the upper left corner.
Have a look at these TM examples: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=119&t=29750&p=153848&hilit=scaling#p153841 they scale from the upper left corner or from the center point.

Correction: Balala is right, the TM is relative to 0,0 position in the SKIN (in configs with only 1 meter, that is the same point).

Ack! I wish I would have seen that TM post 4 years ago! It should be pinned at the top of the forum, if not for the examples then for the Invader Zim reference.

Actually not:
Every transformation you do will always be relative to the origin. That's the point with coordinates (0,0).
See the What the heck is Rainmeter doing?! section of the Transformation Matrix Guide.
