RS notes that rectangles can be converted to polygons in a loss-free way, and finely rotated thereafter. Raw sketch:
proc rect2poly {w item} { foreach {x0 y0 x1 y1} [$w coords $item] break $w delete $item $w create poly $x0 $y0 $x0 $y1 $x1 $y1 $x1 $y0 ;# need -fill etc. attributes here }for a more detailed example: Rectangle Conversion

For use with animations, speed is an issue. Especially for use in mobile systems without floating point processor. For this purpose, goniometrics could be replaced by look-ups with 5 entries (1-5 degrees, beyond 5 with gonio). However, the simple improvement below may be sufficient and halves execution time (measured with ARM9 system, w/o FPU) - RJM.
# First improvement step: goniometrics out of loop proc object_rotate {w tag Ox Oy angle} { #foreach {Ox Oy} [object_center $w $tag] break set angle [expr {$angle * atan(1) / 45.0}] ;# Radians set sin [expr {sin($angle)}] set cos [expr {cos($angle)}] foreach id [$w find withtag $tag] { ;# Do each component separately set xy {} foreach {x y} [$w coords $id] { # rotates vector (Ox,Oy)->(x,y) by angle clockwise set x [expr {$x - $Ox}] ;# Shift to origin set y [expr {$y - $Oy}] set xx [expr {$x * $cos - $y * $sin + $Ox}] ;# Rotate and shift back set yy [expr {$x * $sin + $y * $cos + $Oy}] lappend xy $xx $yy } $w coords $id $xy } }

gold added pix[dntwiki] - 2011-04-17 23:49:20The side effect is due to the screen-Y pointing downwards. Use this rotation to get the right rotation direction, i.e counterclockwise for positive angles and clockwise for negative ones.
set xx [expr {$x * cos($ang) + $y * sin($ang)}] set yy [expr {-$x * sin($ang) + $y * cos($ang)}]
