Dear ITK community,

I am frequently using Convert3D (c3d) which works most of my image processing tasks (and easy to construct a pipeline for parallel processing). One thing I am wondering is whether it has a functionality to rotate an image. I have a 3D image, where the “rod” object is in almost 45 degrees and rest is just background. I presume that by rotating this and using the -trim option would save me a lot of space as well as computation. I see in the documentation “-wrap(rotate)” command which I am not sure whether it is what I am looking for. Any tips appreciated.
