[JAVA2D] Rotation and Scaling

[Ted Hill]

Hello,     I have a question on the interrelation between rotation and scaling.   When I call g2.rotate(theta) it makes a change to the scaling.   I find this surprising, I thought that I could do a rotation independent of the scaling.   Can anyone explain this? I'm using JDK 1.3 on NT 4.    Thank you.   ========= start code snippet           final double ONE_DEGREE = Math.PI / 180;         AffineTransform at = g2.getTransform( );           double xScale = at.getScaleX( );         double yScale = at.getScaleY( );           System.err.println("    setTransform( ) 1 xScale yScale: " + xScale + "  " + yScale);           g2.rotate(ONE_DEGREE * 45);           at = g2.getTransform( );           xScale = at.getScaleX( );         yScale = at.getScaleY( );           System.err.println("    setTransform( ) 2 xScale yScale: " + xScale + "  " + yScale);   ========= end code snippet   Here is the output:       setTransform( ) 1 xScale yScale: 1.0  1.0     setTransform( ) 2 xScale yScale: 0.7071067811865476  0.7071067811865476
