And do you need to do this in code or can you just get a graphics package and rotate the image to the required orientation.

If you require more than 1 orientation then just create several bmp files with the vulture at different orientations the the number required is fixed.

It needs to be in code. But im really new at this and i dont know how to write the code that i need to do the rotation.

Do you need to rotate it by a multiple of 90 degrees to but an arbitary amount?

Matrix multiplication is one option, especially if you have to unpack all the bmp data into it's own matrix.

It has to be by user input, so any anount of rotation has to be possible.

use GetDIBits to get the matrix bitmap data, then you can rotate image in the matrix, then pass it to image. that's the principle.
