How do I rotate a square /rectangle using line as the reference point? Thank you

clc
clear all
close all

polyin = polyshape([0 1 1 0],[0 0 10 10]); %original shape

c1=rotate(polyin,-1.64329,[1 0]);
[x,y]=centroid(polyin);
[x1,y1] = centroid(c1);

plot([polyin c1])
axis equal

hold on
plot(x,y,'r*',x1,y1,'r*')
hold off

Using what line? Using it as a reference in what way?

I believe you're asking how to rotate the polyshape about its centerpoint. If so, specify the reference point of rotation using the thrid argument in polyout = rotate(polyin,theta,refpoint). The center point is returned by centroid().

polyin = polyshape([0 1 1 0],[0 0 10 10]); %original shape
[x,y]=centroid(polyin); % center point

c1=rotate(polyin,-1.64329,[x,y]); % rotate about center point
[x1,y1] = centroid(c1);

plot([polyin c1])
axis equal

hold on
plot(x,y,'r*',x1,y1,'r*')
hold off
