WIll imtransform shift the center?

Hi, I am trying to rotate the image by using imtransform. However I realise that it is different to imrotate as I cant define the center. I believe that by using the imtransform will shift the image center. Is there a way that I can define the center point for transformation or I better to use imrotate instead? Sorry for asking stupid question.

to make this clear, I have a image which size 200x200, then I want to change it to 300x300 because I don't want information loss as I will rotate the image. therefore, the image center changed from 100,100 to 150,150(theoretically). Then I would apply imtransform to the 300x300 image, is there a way that I can transform the image from the origin(0,0) to somewhere I define? The reason of I need to use imtransform is because I have a TForm, as a result I think by using imtransform/imwrap would be the best way to handle the image. I am not sure whether I am right or not.

Don't use imtransform to shift the center. Use imtranslate() instead.

thank you for helping. But this is not what I want sorry :( I am trying to transform the image i.e resize and rotate. However I think by using imtransform will rotate the image from point (0,0) is there a way that I can define the rotation point instead?

Use the 'loose' option of imrotate. It will enlarge the canvass enough to contain the image. It will not clip corners off as they rotate out of the original matrix.
