Can JS rotate graphics?

[tim_gor]

I don't suppose Javascript can rotate / manipulate graphics can it?

[khalidali63]

However, you can get the effect easily by using several rotating images and display them in a sequence to imiitate the rotation effect..

:p

So I guess the answer's no then...?
Anyone have a neat getaround? Perhaps passing objects back and forth Java or another more powerful language?

Much appreciated!

JavaScript cannot edit/create images, but if you're referring to displaying already existing images in different ways on a Web page, yes, JavaScript can do it. What exactly are you looking for?

Javascript can theoretically manipulate graphics in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format, a W3C standard similar to Flash. Unforunately, most of the major browsers need plugins to view SVG files.

Check out the W3C specification here:
