[Request] Support manipulation of rotated Elements in the canvas about cardmaker HOT 4 CLOSED

Ok... So I'm running into some issues related to this rotation on the center of the element. I'd like move a rectangular object from the top left corner of my card (0,0) to the top right (562,0), rotated 90 degrees...

So to do that I need to calculate the center coordinates of the element, convert that to the new center position, then calculate the new x,y based on the new center? Am I reasoning this correctly? Is there a better way?

Will the rectangle size change or are you concerned it might? To determine the x,y of the element you would need to rotate the point 562,0 around the center of your image in the desired rotated position (-90 degrees so you get the element position). That does not sounds like fun... I am guessing that manually adjusting the element to appear where you expect is a bit less precise than you would like...

The rectangle size will be unchanged in most cases I think. I'm planning to print these on real cards, so I'd like it to be precise. I'll just use this as an excuse to shake off my programming rust and write a python script to convert the xml. This is good for me. :)

Also, thanks for all your work on CardMaker. It's allowed me to make some very cool projects.
