Rotate the output image by either an explicit angle
or auto-orient based on the EXIF Orientation
tag.
If an angle is provided, it is converted to a valid positive degree rotation.
For example, -450
will produce a 270deg rotation.
When rotating by an angle other than a multiple of 90,
the background colour can be provided with the background
option.
If no angle is provided, it is determined from the EXIF data. Mirroring is supported and may infer the use of a flip operation.
The use of rotate
implies the removal of the EXIF Orientation
tag, if any.
Method order is important when both rotating and extracting regions,
for example rotate(x).extract(y)
will produce a different result to extract(y).rotate(x)
.

Perform an affine transform on an image. This operation will always occur after resizing, extraction and rotation, if any.
You must provide an array of length 4 or a 2x2 affine transformation matrix.
By default, new pixels are filled with a black background. You can provide a background color with the background
option.
A particular interpolator may also be specified. Set the interpolator
option to an attribute of the sharp.interpolator
Object e.g. sharp.interpolator.nohalo
.
In the case of a 2x2 matrix, the transform is:
- X =
matrix[0, 0]
* (x +idx
) +matrix[0, 1]
* (y +idy
) +odx
- Y =
matrix[1, 0]
* (x +idx
) +matrix[1, 1]
* (y +idy
) +ody
where:
- x and y are the coordinates in input image.
- X and Y are the coordinates in output image.
- (0,0) is the upper left corner.

Sharpen the image.
When used without parameters, performs a fast, mild sharpen of the output image.
When a sigma
is provided, performs a slower, more accurate sharpen of the L channel in the LAB colour space.
Separate control over the level of sharpening in "flat" and "jagged" areas is available.

Apply a gamma correction by reducing the encoding (darken) pre-resize at a factor of 1/gamma
then increasing the encoding (brighten) post-resize at a factor of gamma
.
This can improve the perceived brightness of a resized image in non-linear colour spaces.
JPEG and WebP input images will not take advantage of the shrink-on-load performance optimisation
when applying a gamma correction.
Supply a second argument to use a different output gamma value, otherwise the first value is used in both cases.
