Rotate views in Xamarin.Forms about the X, Y, and Z axes |
Xamarin.Forms includes first-class support for rotating views in three dimensions. Every View instance exposes Rotation, RotationX, and RotationY as values that can be set or bound.
Understanding Rotation and Position
Views have AnchorX and AnchorY properties that define how a view is positioned. Rotation is applied relative to the anchor values. Rotation is interpreted as a degree value rather than a radian or gradian value.
Rotation values apply to the axes as follows:
Rotation– rotates around the Z-axis. When holding a phone normally, the Z-axis extends out towards the user.RotationX– rotates around the X-axis. When holding a phone normally, the X-axis extends out towards the user's left and right.RotationY– rotates around the Y-axis. When holding a phone normally, the Y-axis extends down towards the ground and up towards the sky.
See the following illustration to better understand how objects are rotated around the axes:
Rotation
The Rotation property rotates the view around the z-axis. Consider the following XAML that rotates a label 52 degrees about the z-axis:
<Label Text="Rotation" Rotation="52" />
In C#:
var label = new Label { Text = "Rotation", Rotation = 52 };
RotationX
The RotationX property rotates the view around the x-axis. Consider the following XAML that rotates a label 73 degrees about the x-axis:
<Label Text="RotationX" RotationX="73" />
In C#:
var label = new Label { Text = "RotationX", RotationX = 73 };
RotationY
The RotationY property rotates the view around the y-axis. Consider the following XAML that rotates a label 122 degrees about the y-axis:
<Label Text="RotationY" RotationY="122" />
In C#:
var label = new Label { Text = "RotationY", RotationY = 122 };
