Rotate Atlas Region Libgdx

Question

protected TextureAtlas atlas = Assets.manager.get(Constants.ATLAS_PATH, TextureAtlas.class);

AtlasRegion region = interfaceAtlas.findRegion("arrow");

I've load an image like this ( http://marinedealerconference.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/right.png ): an arrow that points right...

But I can't find a way to rotate it! How can I? Because I want it goes down.

Answer 1

you cannot rotate region although you can rotate Sprite or Image

    //sprite:
    public void rotate(float degrees)

    //image - remember to set origin to the center here!
    public void rotateBy(float amountInDegrees)

Instead of rotating the region itself you can "tell" SpriteBatch to draw it rotated:

    batch.draw(region, x, y, originX, originY, width, height, scaleX, scaleY, rotation);
