To Whom It May Concern:<br><br>I noticed that the help manual is not clear on shape rotation a specific number of degrees around a point. I wrote this for my students to help them. Perhaps it can be included in the Kig manual.<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">HOW TO: Rotate a shape a specific
number of degrees around a point</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<ol><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Click on “Objects>Angles>Angle
by Three Points” and make your desired angle of rotation somewhere
on Kig, generally in an unobtrusive place. If desired, right click
on the angle and click on “Add Text Label>Angle in Degrees.”</p>
</li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Click on “Objects” and
construct your desired object.</p>
</li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Right click on your shape, and
click on “Transform>Rotate.”</p>
</li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Set your desired point of
rotation.</p>
</li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Click on your angle.</p>
</li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Your shape is rotated!</p>
</li></ol>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">NOTES:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Constructing your angle with an opening
to the right allows for clockwise shape rotation. Constructing your
angle with an opening to the left AND adding the text label will
allow both clockwise and counter-clockwise rotations.
</p>
<ul><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Clicking on the arrow created by
the angle makes a counter-clockwise rotation. Clicking on the text
label of the angle makes a clockwise rotation.</p>
</li></ul>
