[San-Diego-pm] 2D graphics scripting

[Dirk]

By rotating I meant rotating an image around a point.  I guess I have a
wishful notion that a few lines in perl could loop through and move an
icon up-down & left-right, while rotating it x degrees clock-wise.

I'll take a look at the module and the website you mentioned.

Thanks,
Dirk
