i've looked at a number of posts over the last year requesting the ability to rotate the raster layer. The response has always been that this feature would be added to the feature list in a forthcoming release. Has this feature been added yet?
Raster layer rotation
Gregory,
I checked with our core team and this feature is still in our schedule. I don’t think it will be in the coming release next month. Sorry for the inconvenience. We will work on it after our higher priority tasks are finished. Hope you understand.
Thanks for reminding us.
Howard
Thanks for the update - I look forward to learning when this feature comes available!
Hi Gregory,
Thanks for your understanding, and again, sorry for the inconvenience.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Tsui
I assume this if foranimating a timed sequence of images? If so, I vote for this being moved up the priority list as well.
Hi Michael,
Sorry, I didn’t understand your first sentence.
And thanks for the suggestion, we’ll consider it.

For instance I have several PNGs of a car going down the road, a picture taken every 1 sec. I want to duplicate this on the map. Right now, I use multiple GdiPlusRasterLayer layers and cycle through all the layers:
For each layer in layers
layer.isVisible = True
Thread.sleep(200)
layer.isVisible = False
Next layer
I execute this using a timer to get the delay between each cycle. To make it even more complex, let’s say I have a man walking down the road around the same time, and I have a series of pictures that are 2.5 seconds apart of that man. Now I want to synchronize the two sets of picture to show the relative motion of the man to the car. I can do this using the above, by changing the “sleep” period based on a calculation, but it would be nice to have a class that did all this work for me. Also, the update rate of a raser layer can really be no faster than 200ms (at least on my computer) or you run the risk of not getting the image to show.
Hope that helps explain my thoughts.
Hi Michael,
We have a product called Vehicle Tracking, it's similar to what you described.
You can get to know more details and try some demos here: gis.thinkgeo.com/Products/ExtensionsAddOnsforMapSuite/VehicleTrackingStarterKit/tabid/771/Default.aspx
