Title: Simple way to rotate region
Question: Simple function returning rotated region. Pprocedure doing the same with source region.
Answer:
It's the simple function returning new region rotated to the angle that
you want around the source region. Source region doesn't change.
The second procedure does the same with source region without creating new region.
I hope this will be useful.
