Hello, Does anyone have a good function that will flip an image (i.e. tga, bmp) on the y-axis, so in other words if you had a smiley face for a picture and you wanted the left eye to be on the right side how would you do that? I was able to be able to flip the images upside down, but flipping them sideways hasn''t been a success yet; I can only get inverse colors and 2/3 of its flipped, arg, hehe. I just want to manipulate the image data to get this effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you have a vertical axis about the horizontal middle, then your transformation is essentially

f(x) = -x 

Since both x and -x are defined relative to the axis (x = 0), then your required horizontal flip is

new_x = middle_x + (middle_x - old_x)      = 2 * middle_x - old_x      = width - old_x 

Use exactly the same algorithm for the y-axis. I don''t think you need to mess with the pixel depth data.
