 |  ![Public method](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/icons/pubmethod.gif) |  [Rotate(Single, MatrixOrder)](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_Matrix_Rotate_2_106bd46a.htm.md) |  Applies a rotate affine transform to the matrix. |
 
## Remarks
  
The clockwise rotation is applied. Use negative angle value to rotate counter-clockwise.
 
The rotation is applied around the point of origin. To rotate around an arbitrary point, use the [RotateAt(Single, PointF)](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_Matrix_RotateAt_2_222fde3b.htm.md) method.
