HTML5 canvas drawImage with at an angle

Question

I am experimenting with animation in and can\'t work out how to draw an image at an angle. The desired effect is a few images drawn as usual, wit

Answer 1

I have written a function (based on Jakub's answer) that allows user to paint an image in a X,Y position based on a custom rotation in a custom rotation point:

function rotateAndPaintImage ( context, image, angleInRad , positionX, positionY, axisX, axisY ) {
  context.translate( positionX, positionY );
  context.rotate( angleInRad );
  context.drawImage( image, -axisX, -axisY );
  context.rotate( -angleInRad );
  context.translate( -positionX, -positionY );
}

Then you can call it like this:

var TO_RADIANS = Math.PI/180; 
ctx = document.getElementById("canvasDiv").getContext("2d");
var imgSprite = new Image();
imgSprite.src = "img/sprite.png";

// rotate 45º image "imgSprite", based on its rotation axis located at x=20,y=30 and draw it on context "ctx" of the canvas on coordinates x=200,y=100
rotateAndPaintImage ( ctx, imgSprite, 45*TO_RADIANS, 200, 100, 20, 30 );
