Rotating images

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

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.
