Just to check that I'm seeing this right: - The rotate property of a node can only rotate around the node's center. - The RotateTransition simply manipulates a node's rotate property.
So as soon as you have to rotate around any other point except the center, these two classes cannot be used. The alternative is: - Use a Rotate transformation, which allows specifying the rotation center. - Animate that using a Timeline, because that is the easiest way to animatie a transformation. Tom
