Rotating Elements

To rotate an element is to spin it around the pivot point.

To rotate an element using the Transform node

1.   Click Transform > Transform to insert a Transform node at the appropriate place in your script.
2.   Connect a Viewer to the output of the Transform node so you can see the effect of your changes.
3.   In the Transform properties panel, select the appropriate filtering algorithm from the filter dropdown menu (see Choosing a Filtering Algorithm).
4.   Position the pivot point as necessary:

Increment or decrement the center x and y fields to move the axis in either direction.

Or press Ctrl (Cmd on a Mac) while dragging on the center of the transformation overlay.

5.   Increment or decrement the rotate field.
