While working on a CSS grid to showcase images rotated at 60 degrees for a diagonal view, I encountered an issue. I wanted users to have the ability to drag and drop images within the grid, but when they drag an image, it moves as if it weren't rotated at all. Note that I am not utilizing a canvas element, just a pure HTML element.
I have explored various methods to address this problem using jQuery, JavaScript, React JS, and CSS, but unfortunately, none of them provided a clean or effective solution. One idea I had was to recapture all the images in their rotated state, but this would be incredibly time-consuming due to the high volume of images involved.
The rotation of the image is achieved through CSS:
behavior:url(-ms-transform.htc);
/* Firefox */
-moz-transform:rotate(315deg);
/* Safari and Chrome */
-webkit-transform:rotate(315deg);
/* Opera */
-o-transform:rotate(315deg);
/* IE9 */
-ms-transform:rotate(315deg);
/* IE6,IE7 */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix(sizingMethod='auto expand', M11=0.7071067811865476, M12=-0.7071067811865475, M21=0.7071067811865475, M22=0.7071067811865476);
/* IE8 */
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix(SizingMethod='auto expand', M11=0.7071067811865476, M12=-0.7071067811865475, M21=0.7071067811865475, M22=0.7071067811865476)";
All I want is for users to be able to drag the image while maintaining its current rotation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
