FA-79178 / Image orientation metadata / Member archive

Canvas rotation for tag 8 shifts by the height · case 03

Counter-clockwise photos are cut off at the bottom of the canvas.

Case contract

Input [w, h, tag]. Produce the canvas size and the 2D affine [a, b, c, d, e, f] (x' = a*x + c*y + e, y' = b*x + d*y + f, continuous coordinates, so mirroring an extent e maps x to e - x) that draws the stored image upright. Tags 5..8 use a [h, w] canvas; invalid tags are treated as 1.

Why this case matters

Camera, phone and scanner images carry an orientation hint separately from the stored pixels; galleries, thumbnailers, editors and upload pipelines must interpret it consistently or photos appear sideways, mirrored or doubly rotated.

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
