+# Rotating geometry
+
+This tutorial demonstrates how to rotate geometries, particularly polygons, using GeometryOps.jl.
+
+There are several approaches to rotating geometry, depending on your needs:
+
+1. **Simple rotation using the `rotate` convenience function**
+2. Simple rotation around the origin
+3. Rotation around a polygon's centroid  
+4. Using external transformation libraries
+
+All rotation approaches ultimately use the [`transform`](@ref) function which applies a transformation to every point in a geometry.
+
+## Using the rotate convenience function
+
+The simplest way to rotate a geometry is using the `rotate` function:
+
+```@example rotation
+import GeometryOps as GO
+import GeoInterface as GI
+using CairoMakie
+
+# Create a simple square polygon  
+square = GI.Polygon([[(1, 1), (2, 1), (2, 2), (1, 2), (1, 1)]])
+
+# Rotate by 45 degrees (π/4 radians) around the centroid (default)
+rotated_square = GO.rotate(square, π/4)
+
+# Rotate around a specific point (e.g., origin)
+rotated_around_origin = GO.rotate(square, π/4; origin = (0, 0))
+
+# Visualize the results
+fig = Figure()
+ax = Axis(fig[1, 1], aspect = DataAspect(), title = "Rotation using rotate() function")
+poly!(ax, square, color = :blue, alpha = 0.3, label = "Original")
+poly!(ax, rotated_square, color = :red, alpha = 0.5, label = "Rotated around centroid")
+poly!(ax, rotated_around_origin, color = :green, alpha = 0.5, label = "Rotated around origin")
+axislegend(ax)
+fig
+```
+
+## Simple rotation around origin
+
+The simplest approach is to rotate around the origin (0, 0) using a 2D rotation matrix.
+
+```@example rotation
+import GeometryOps as GO
+import GeoInterface as GI
+using CoordinateTransformations, StaticArrays
+using CairoMakie
+
+# Create a simple square polygon
+square = GI.Polygon([[(1, 1), (2, 1), (2, 2), (1, 2), (1, 1)]])
+
+# Create a 2D rotation matrix function (rotate by angle in radians)
+rotate2d(angle) = StaticArrays.SMatrix{2,2}(cos(angle), sin(angle), -sin(angle), cos(angle))
+
+# Rotate by 45 degrees (π/4 radians)
+rotated_square = GO.transform(p -> rotate2d(π/4) * p, square)
+
+# Visualize the original and rotated polygons
+fig = Figure()
+ax = Axis(fig[1, 1], aspect = DataAspect(), title = "Rotation around origin")
+poly!(ax, [square, rotated_square], color = [:blue, :red], alpha = 0.5)
+fig
+```
+
+## Rotation around polygon centroid
+
+Often you want to rotate a polygon around its own center rather than the origin. This requires:
+
+1. Translating the polygon so its centroid is at the origin
+2. Applying the rotation
+3. Translating back to the original centroid position
+
+```@example rotation  
+# Calculate the centroid of our square
+centroid_point = GO.centroid(square)
+
+# Create a rotation transformation around the centroid
+function rotate_around_centroid(geom, angle)
+    center = GO.centroid(geom)
+    rotation_matrix = rotate2d(angle)
+    
+    return GO.transform(geom) do point
+        # Translate to origin, rotate, then translate back
+        rotated_point = rotation_matrix * (point .- center)
+        return rotated_point .+ center
+    end
+end
+
+# Rotate the square 90 degrees around its centroid
+rotated_around_center = rotate_around_centroid(square, π/2)
+
+# Visualize
+fig = Figure()
+ax = Axis(fig[1, 1], aspect = DataAspect(), title = "Rotation around centroid")
+poly!(ax, [square, rotated_around_center], color = [:blue, :red], alpha = 0.5)
+# Mark the centroid
+scatter!(ax, [centroid_point[1]], [centroid_point[2]], color = :black, marker = :x, markersize = 15)
+fig
+```
+
+## Using CoordinateTransformations.jl
+
+For more complex transformations, you can use the CoordinateTransformations.jl library, which provides composable transformations.
+
+```@example rotation
+using CoordinateTransformations
+
+# Create a more complex polygon
+polygon = GI.Polygon([[(0, 0), (3, 0), (3, 2), (1, 2), (1, 1), (0, 1), (0, 0)]])
+
+# Get the centroid
+center = GO.centroid(polygon)
+
+# Create a composite transformation: translate to origin, rotate, translate back  
+rotation_transform = Translation(center) ∘ LinearMap(rotate2d(π/3)) ∘ Translation(-center[1], -center[2])
+
+# Apply the transformation
+rotated_polygon = GO.transform(rotation_transform, polygon)
+
+# Visualize multiple rotations
+fig = Figure(size = (800, 400))
+ax = Axis(fig[1, 1], aspect = DataAspect(), title = "Multiple rotations using CoordinateTransformations")
+
+# Show original
+poly!(ax, polygon, color = :blue, alpha = 0.3, label = "Original")
+
+# Show rotations at different angles
+angles = [π/6, π/3, π/2, 2π/3]
+colors = [:red, :green, :orange, :purple]
+
+for (angle, color) in zip(angles, colors)
+    transform = Translation(center) ∘ LinearMap(rotate2d(angle)) ∘ Translation(-center[1], -center[2])
+    rotated = GO.transform(transform, polygon)
+    poly!(ax, rotated, color = color, alpha = 0.5, label = "$(round(rad2deg(angle)))°")
+end
+
+axislegend(ax)
+fig
+```
+
+## Using Rotations.jl
+
+For 3D rotations or more sophisticated rotation operations, you can use Rotations.jl. However, since Rotations.jl objects are not directly callable, you need to wrap them:
+
+```@example rotation
+using Rotations
+
+# For 2D rotation using Rotations.jl, we need to work with the rotation matrix
+# and extract the 2D part
+polygon_2d = GI.Polygon([[(1, 0), (2, 0), (2, 1), (1, 1), (1, 0)]])
+
+# Create a Z-axis rotation (for 2D rotation in the XY plane)
+function rotate_with_rotations_jl(geom, angle_degrees)
+    # Create 3D rotation around Z axis
+    rotation_3d = RotZ(deg2rad(angle_degrees))
+    
+    # Extract 2D rotation matrix (top-left 2x2 submatrix)
+    rotation_2d = rotation_3d[1:2, 1:2]
+    
+    # Apply to geometry
+    return GO.transform(p -> rotation_2d * p, geom)
+end
+
+# Rotate by different angles
+fig = Figure()
+ax = Axis(fig[1, 1], aspect = DataAspect(), title = "Rotation using Rotations.jl")
+
+poly!(ax, polygon_2d, color = :blue, alpha = 0.3, label = "Original")
+
+for (angle, color) in zip([45, 90, 135], [:red, :green, :orange])
+    rotated = rotate_with_rotations_jl(polygon_2d, angle)
+    poly!(ax, rotated, color = color, alpha = 0.5, label = "$(angle)°")
+end
+
+axislegend(ax)
+fig
+```
+
+## Performance considerations
+
+When rotating many geometries or performing many rotations, consider:
+
+1. Pre-computing the rotation matrix
+2. Using StaticArrays for better performance
+3. Using the `threaded=true` option in transform for large geometries
+
+```@example rotation
+# Example of efficient batch rotation
+polygons = [GI.Polygon([[(i, 0), (i+1, 0), (i+1, 1), (i, 1), (i, 0)]]) for i in 1:5]
+
+# Pre-compute rotation matrix
+rotation_mat = rotate2d(π/4)
+
+# Rotate all polygons efficiently
+rotated_polygons = [GO.transform(p -> rotation_mat * p, poly) for poly in polygons]
+
+# For very large geometries, use threading
+# large_polygon = ... # some large polygon
+# rotated_large = GO.transform(p -> rotation_mat * p, large_polygon; threaded=true)
+
+fig = Figure()
+ax = Axis(fig[1, 1], aspect = DataAspect(), title = "Batch rotation")
+poly!(ax, polygons, color = :blue, alpha = 0.3)
+poly!(ax, rotated_polygons, color = :red, alpha = 0.5)
+fig
+```
+
+## Summary
+
+GeometryOps.jl provides flexible geometry rotation through:
+
+- **`rotate(geom, angle)`** - Simple convenience function for common rotation tasks
+- **`rotate(geom, angle; origin=point)`** - Rotate around a specific point  
+- **`transform`** with rotation matrices for advanced control
+- **CoordinateTransformations.jl** integration for complex, composable transformations
+- **Rotations.jl** integration for advanced 3D rotations
+
+The key insight is that both `rotate` and `transform` work with any function that takes a point (as an SVector) and returns a transformed point, making the system highly flexible for various geometric transformations.
+
+For most use cases, `GO.rotate(geom, angle)` provides the simplest interface, while `transform` offers maximum flexibility for custom transformations.
