missing method to set rotation angle externally

[alexandervlpl]

It would be very useful to have a method like polygon.transform.set_angle() so that polygons can be rotated externally, without user interaction.

Thanks for the great plugin! :+1:

@alexandervlpl I had the same problem. As I have just found, you can rotate a polygon externally with polygon.transform.transform(angle);

Not very explicit, but it works

Hi! I'm also interested in a method like polygon.transform.set_angle(), which it should be an absolute angle. Indeed the @vnosikov proposed a solution using the transform.transform(angle), but I figured out that the angle should be relative, that is, I didn't find any way to set an absolute angle.

what do you mean by "absolute"?

[betomaki]

Hi w8r! "Absolute" I mean, if I set the angle to 45deg, I expected to have everything rotated 45deg. However, using the suggestion of @vnosikov, if I call it a number of times, it increments the angle.

Maybe I'm failing to check the documentation, but is there any way to access the angle in transform? Something like a angle property...
