How to rotate rectangle

Question

I have created a rectangle on canvas. I wanted to know that how can we rotate the rectangle 30 degree.

m_ctrlChart.GetCanvas().Rectangle(10, 50, 60, 100); 

I am not able to find any API which will help me to rotate rectangle. Thanks

I'm afraid the functions to do this are internal. However, you could use a Rectangle tool that supports rotation. Ie:

  TChart1.Tools.Add tcRectangle
  TChart1.Tools.Items(0).asRectangle.Shape.Angle = 30
  With TChart1.Tools.Items(0).asRectangle
    .Shape.Transparency = 0
    .Shape.Color = vbRed
    .Left = 10
    .Top = 50
    .Width = 50
    .Height = 50
  End With

Of course you can always calculate the coordinates yourself using trigonometric functions as @selva-kumar says.
