How can I rotate a barcode in Java/iReport?

Question

As far as I know, barcode as such can't be rotated (iReport doesn't have that property and neither does the Barbecue Barcode in a Java class). I've seen some examples, but they are incomplete and I don't understand how to use them, eg.:

public class BarbecueRenderer extends JRAbstractSvgRenderer
{

private boolean rotate;
private Barcode barcode = null;

public BarbecueRenderer(Barcode barcode) 
{
    this(barcode, false);
}

public BarbecueRenderer(Barcode barcode, boolean rotate) 
{
    this.barcode = barcode;
    this.rotate = rotate;
}

// What should I use as the grx and rectangle objects?
public void render(Graphics2D grx, Rectangle2D rectangle) 
{
    if (barcode != null) 
    {
        Graphics2D graphics = (Graphics2D) grx.create();
        graphics.translate(rectangle.getX(), rectangle.getY());
        if (rotate)
        {
            graphics.translate(barcode.getBounds().getHeight(), 0);
            graphics.rotate(Math.PI / 2);
        }
        barcode.draw(graphics, 0, 0);
    }
}
}

What I need is something like this:

 Barcode barcode = BarcodeFactory.createCode39("128", false);
 // rotate the barcode
 File f = new File ("c:\\barcode.jpg");
 BarcodeImageHandler.saveJPEG(barcode, f);

Try:

public BufferedImage rotate90DX(BufferedImage bi)
    {
        int width = bi.getWidth();
        int height = bi.getHeight();

        BufferedImage biFlip = new BufferedImage(height, width, bi.getType());

        for(int i=0; i<width; i++)
            for(int j=0; j<height; j++)
                biFlip.setRGB(height-1-j, width-1-i, bi.getRGB(i, j));

        return biFlip;
    }
