setShapeRotation()

Purpose

Sets the rotation of a shape in degrees or radians

Description

Used to apply rotation to a shape drawn with drawShape()

Syntax

setShapeRotation( shape, amount )

Arguments

shape Handle which stores the shape to rotate

amount Float number of degrees (or radians) to rotate the shape by around the origin. Negative numbers apply counter-clockwise rotation

Example

gw = gWidth()
gh = gHeight()

shape = createBox( gw / 2, gh / 2, gw / 2, gh / 2 )
rotation = 0

loop
    clear()
    j = controls( 0 )
    rotation += j.ly
    setShapeRotation( shape, rotation )
    drawShape( shape )
    printAt( 0, 0, "Move left control stick up and down to rotate the shape." )
    printAt( 0, 1, "Current rotation angle: ", rotation, " degrees" )
    update()
repeat
