Sorry for that...actually this snippet is part of a code where the $x and $y comes from a file ( i just pasted it and forgot to change it...perhaps it would be 0,0 or something but it is optional as the subroutine says..).

But even after altering and applying the changes it wont work...can you edit this code suitably so that it is rotated by a supplied angle...waiting eagerly for some help...
