Rotate an image

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#rotate 

convert winamp-ncrow.png -rotate 45 winamp-ncrow2.png  # 45 degrees

One problem with this simple approach is the picture size (not image file) changed (become smaller) if the degree is not one of 90,180 or 270.

Create an animated gif file

Use the script here. See the last example on here. The rotation speed looks good too! Just change the source image file in the script. 

#!/bin/sh
#
# Create a rotating figure using Distort SRT transformations
#
command='convert -delay 10 koala.gif -virtual-pixel white'

for i in `seq 5 5 360`; do
  command="$command \\( -clone 0 -distort SRT $i \\)"
done

command="$command -delete 0 -loop 0 animate_distort_rot.gif"

eval $command

chmod 644 animate_distort_rot.gif
