Rotate
This transformation action simply rotates glyphs. You can set the rotation
angle, the position of the center of rotation and the direction of rotation.
You can rotate glyphs around the zero point, around the center of the
glyph’s bounding box or you can specify a point that will be used as the
center of rotation. Here is an example of the same rotation transformation
