Description Alexander Nyßen

Build Identifier: M20100211-1343

A Rotatable interface could be introduced to org.eclipse.draw2d.geometry to define rotation operation (similar to as Translatable defines translation (and currently also scaling; see #307276)). 

A Path geometric object could further be introduced to implement the Rotatable interface and thus add support for calculation of rotation on arbitrary geometric shapes. Transform could be generalized to allow transformation of such Paths instead of just points.

Reproducible: Always

Having reconsidered this, I think it would be better not to introduce a rotatable Interface, but to instead generalize Transform to be able to perform arbitrary affine transformations (or deprecate it and introduce an AffineTransform instead). As the geometry packages is missing several shapes and it does not make sense to file an individual bug for each of them, resolving this as INVALID and addressing these issues under bug #307278.
