Turn

An image can be
rotated clockwise or
counter-clockwise
around the origin
using simple rules.

An image can be rotated

around a certain point
using the counting
method to determine
the original distance
from the center point
and then counting to the
new point.

Clockwise 360
Counter-Clockwise 360
(x , y) remains (x , y)
A (2 , 1) remains A (2 , 1)

Clockwise 270
Counter-Clockwise 90

(x , y) becomes (-y , x)
A (2 , 1) becomes A (-1, 2)
