Re^3: Image rotation with GD: counter or clockwise?

I needed something working and I wanted to add a quick way to pass the angle. Ok it fails for the, in this case, edge case of 0 degrees but with 0 degrees no rotation is even needed so it will be stupid to pass 0 to my SSCE. Too much Short to be a SCE? :)

I had a recent thread about processing image files, and the expectation of respondents that I should have shown up with an Short, Self-Contained, Correct Example ground it to a halt. Sure, first, to insulate myself from criticism, I got a shorter, more concise version of what I was doing, but I left off that because those don't end up as images on the net, which is the proof in the pudding. The equating of image files and lists of strings works in some places and straight-up ludicrous in others. Then the SSCCE couldn't keep up with changes I was making on the fly, so it turned out to be a great irrelevance. Meanwhile, I flubbed integration and will have to re-do anything I "accomplished." I didn't even do the write-up.

My program is already more than 450 lines

That's not a lot between readmore tags. Don't we encourage people to show their source around here?

How is any of this relevant to anything that has been posted in this thread? An SSCCE example was provided, these comments are regarding something unrelated to the GD issue in question. The expectation that you should be able to provide a short example that illustrates what you're having problems with is reasonable.

"Don't we encourage people to show their source around here?"

You have just complained about being asked to provide your source code for something you're having problems with. If providing this and example source data (regardless of data type, e.g. a URL for an example image) is something you consider not worth writing up that's more of an issue for you, perhaps you don't fully understand the reasons why SSCCEs are preferable and more likely to get the help you are looking for.

Update: Fixed typo.
