Hi Graham,

Different programmers has posted to this list (and
Metacard list) handlers to rotate poligon graphics.

In my website (look the direction at the the foot
of this post) you could find a stack named
graphic transformations, that shows the use of
matrices to scale, rotate and skew poligon graphics.
