Rotating images

You can rotate images about the x, y, and z axes. For example, suppose that you opened the following image:

**Figure 53. Original image to be rotated**

To rotate images

1 Select Utilities > Rotate in the MIPAV window.

2 Select one of the following:

X Axis 90: To rotate the image about the x axis by 90 degrees.

X Axis -90: To rotate the image about the x axis by -90 degrees.

Y Axis 90: To rotate the image about the y axis by 90 degrees.

Y Axis -90: To rotate the image about the y axis by -90 degrees.

Z Axis 90: To rotate the image about the z axis by 90 degrees.

Z Axis -90: To rotate the image about the z axis by -90 degrees.

A status message appears. When rotation is complete, the status window closes, and MIPAV replaces the original image in the image window with the rotated image.

This figure shows the image in Figure 53 at the six different types of *x, y,* and z rotation.
