Using paperjs if I rotate p.view.rotate(update.deg); it is working fine with out issue.

If I refresh the page and call the above function p.view.rotate(update.deg); onload then the view is different. it is displaying a slight zoom.

After reloading the page I am rotating p.view with the previous value. then it is displaying as

Solution

  • I was not able to run your code but I would suggest, for an easier project state preservation, that you use transformations (scale, rotation, ...) through layer rather than through view.
    That would allow you to easily export/import your project whithout having to manually restore state by calling view.rotate() like methods on window reload.

    Here is a fiddle demonstrating the solution.
    It simulates window reload by exporting/importing a project from one canvas to another empty one.

    // rotate layer rather than view so transformations are persisted when exporting
    project.activeLayer.rotate(30);

    // export datas and store them in global variable just for the demo, to simulate a page reload
    window.exportedDatas = project.exportJSON();

    // import the exported datas
    project.importJSON(window.exportedDatas);

    // see that rotation is preserved
