Rotating 90º In a Blob Image in JasperReports

Question

So I have a small jrxml with this:

The two images are of the field type BLOB in a firebird database and to show it correctly I'm using new ByteArrayInputStream((byte[])$F{FOFU}) on the image expression.

After reading a bit I figured the only way to rotate this image is to do it programmatically on java and I have no idea how to do, even after reading some posts here and other places. Can anyone help me with this ?

Answer 1

private byte[] rotateImage(byte[] originalImageAsBytes , double radians) throws InternalException {
ByteArrayOutputStream rotatedImageStream = null;

try {
  BufferedImage originalImage = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(originalImageAsBytes)); // read the original image
  AffineTransform rotationTransform = new AffineTransform();
  rotationTransform.rotate(radians, originalImage.getWidth() / 2.0 , originalImage.getHeight() / 2.0);
  AffineTransformOp rotationTransformOp = 
    new AffineTransformOp(rotationTransform , AffineTransformOp.TYPE_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR); 
  BufferedImage rotatedImage = rotationTransformOp.filter(originalImage,null); 

  rotatedImageStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
  ImageIO.write(rotatedImage, "jpg" , rotatedImageStream); 
} catch (IOException e) {
  throw new InternalException(e);
}
return rotatedImageStream.toByteArray();
}

and on the Jasper I'm doing

new ByteArrayInputStream(path.to.rotateImage((byte[])$F{IMAGE}, 100.00))

as the image expression. Its working.
