# Rotate Class
 
Rotates an image at arbitrary angle.
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm/N_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```csharp
public sealed class Rotate : Transform
```
 
## Remarks
  
The main parameter of this transform is [Angle](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_Rotate_Angle.htm.md) to rotate the image to. If specified angle is 90, 180, or 270 degrees, a special algorithm which avoids floating-point calculations is used automatically, which yields to higher performance.
 
Another important property is [InterpolationMode](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_Rotate_InterpolationMode.htm.md) that defines an interpolation algorithm. Different algorithms produce different quality, but as usual the higher quality an algorithm produces, the slower it works.
 
## Examples
  
The following code rotates an image by 5 degrees clockwise.
 
```csharp
using (var bitmap = new Bitmap(@"Images\in.jpg"))
using (var rotate = new Rotate(5, RgbColor.Yellow, InterpolationMode.Medium))
{
    using (var result = rotate.Apply(bitmap))
    {
        result.Save(@"Images\Output\out.jpg");
    }
}
```
