Implement shape rotation.

Code snippet from SO:

public Image RotateImage(Image img, float rotationAngle)
    {
        // When drawing the returned image to a form, modify your points by 
        // (-(img.Width / 2) - 1, -(img.Height / 2) - 1) to draw for actual co-ordinates.

        //create an empty Bitmap image 
        Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap((img.Width * 2), (img.Height *2));

        //turn the Bitmap into a Graphics object
        Graphics gfx = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);

        //set the point system origin to the center of our image
        gfx.TranslateTransform((float)bmp.Width / 2, (float)bmp.Height / 2);

        //now rotate the image
        gfx.RotateTransform(rotationAngle);

        //move the point system origin back to 0,0
        gfx.TranslateTransform(-(float)bmp.Width / 2, -(float)bmp.Height / 2);

        //set the InterpolationMode to HighQualityBicubic so to ensure a high
        //quality image once it is transformed to the specified size
        gfx.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;

        //draw our new image onto the graphics object with its center on the center of rotation
        gfx.DrawImage(img, new PointF((img.Width / 2), (img.Height / 2)));

        //dispose of our Graphics object
        gfx.Dispose();

        //return the image
        return bmp;
    }
