CRC.rotate() — adds a rotation to current transform

Synopsis

void rotate(float angle)

Arguments

angle

The rotation, in radians. Positive values result in clockwise rotation, and negative values result in counterclockwise rotation.

Description

This method alters the current transformation matrix so that any subsequent drawing appears rotated within the canvas by the specified angle. It does not rotate the <canvas> element itself. Note that the angle is specified in radians. To convert degrees to radians, multiply by Math.PI and divide by 180.
