getShapeRotation()

Purpose

Find the rotation of a shape in degrees or radians

Description

Returns the amount of rotation applied to a shape drawn with drawShape()

Syntax

rotation = getShapeRotation( shape )

Arguments

shape Handle which stores the shape in question

rotation Handle which stores the amount of rotation applied to the supplied shape

Example

r = gheight() / 2
a = 0
points = []

for i = 0 to 20 loop
    x = gwidth()/2 + cos(a) * r
    y = gheight()/2 + sin(a) * r
    points[i] = {x, y}
    r -= 30
    a += 36
repeat

lineStrip = createLineStrip(points)
setShapeColour(lineStrip, white)

loop
    clear()
    rotateShape(lineStrip, 1)
    rotation = getShapeRotation(lineStrip)
    drawShape(lineStrip)   
    print(rotation)
    update()
repeat
