Hi Alexander,Didn't know it wasn't possible to rotate images in Writer, and I agree this should be straightforward an option in the context-menu.
Nevertheless there's a way to do this; don't insert your bar-code as a picture but as an OLE-object - choose LibreOffice Draw as the type - then you have an Draw object inside your Writer document. Double-clicking on the Draw object makes Draw menus appear, you'd import the bar-code as picture, right-click for properties, and one of the tabs contains rotation info. Clumsy but works and is a couple of mouse-clicks further than if the command was available in Writer. Other disadvantage is that it may be a bit tedious positioning the image inside the object frame, especially if the image is small (zoom in!).
Good luck, Sveinn í Felli Þann sun 1.maí 2011 17:54, skrifaði Marc Paré:
Hi Alexander Thanks for your input that I find very down to earth and practical. I am just curious, as you seem quite interested in LibreOffice, just as an exercise, would it be possible for you to take a document where you had to rotate an barcode and use Draw to rotate it and then insert the rotated image into the LibreOffice document? I would be interested in your comments on the process, just to see how we could streamline the process for LibreOffice. I believe this could be added to the bug/feature request and that it could add a more realistic "every-day application" of the rotation of a graphic.

I work in a bank. We have restrictions on the installed programms. I am not allowed to install any application that can rotate pictures. I have to create our formulars/documents. Each of them has a barcode. I get the barcodes horizontally but need them vertically in the formulars/dokuments. In MS word I can rotate them, in LO (wich is allowed in our bank and also the software we shall use over Word) not, so I can't use LO but have to use Word.If you have LibO on your computer, why don't you use then Draw to rotate the barcode? Sure, it is more convenient to have that feature in Writer, but Draw is the specialised component for drawings and it has a lot more functions and capabilities, that you could ever built into a text processing component.
