C++: Rotating a vector around a certain point

Hi All, I have a very simple question. I am trying to rotate a vector around a certain point on the vector(in C++): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 rotated around the point (1,1) (which is the "5") 90 degrees would result in: 7 4 1 8 5 2 9 6 3 Right now I am using: x = (x * cos(90)) - (y * sin(90)) y =(y * cos(90)) + (x * sin(90)) But I do...

Get un-translated, un-rotated (x,y) coordinate of a point from a Javascript canvas

In Javascript we often render graphics by rotating and translating the coordinate plane before sending things ctx.save(); ctx.translate(someX, someY); ctx.rotate(someAngle * Math.PI / 180); ctx.beginPath(); ctx.moveTo(x1, y1); // What's the actual (x1,y1)? ctx.lineTo(x2, y2); // What's the actual (x2,y2)? ctx.stroke(); ctx.resto...

How to capture current view screenshot and reuse in code? (iPhone SDK)

I am attemting to transition from one UIView to another, when the user rotates the device. This, in of itself, is not difficult. However, since I am displaying completely different content after the rotation, the default animation provided by UIKit (rotating the currently displayed view) is inappropriate conceptually. Simply disabling t...

OpenGL Rotation Matrices And ArcBall

I have been tasked with creating a OpenGL scene implementing ideas such as simple movement, and an Arcball interface. The problem I am having is dealing with the rotation matrix which NeHe's Arcball class (http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=48) computes. What I have so far is a very simple solar system (just the ear...

Obtaining the camera rotation in radians on the X, Y, and Z axis in OpenGL?

Hi, I'm trying to obtain the camera rotation on various axis in OpenGL (but using Java, LWJGL, and jME specifically). The camera object allows me to get the direction as a Vector3f, but this doesn't seem to work to get the componentised rotation; each axis appears tied to another axis. I found that toAngleAxis with the angle component wi...
