Intersting stuff.
When one first drags a roundRect from the toolbar, the PI has a field to enter
a value for the “roundRadius” property. But after a rotation, where the graphic
is now defined solely by its “points” property, the ability to get or set that
property disappears. I suppos

You are absolutely right, a roundedRect graphic does rotate with revPolyRotate.
Don’t know why I trusted the docs

I'd guess that Dictionary entry was written before July 7, 2007.
In the revcommonlibrary script you'll find the revRotatePoly command on lines
496 thr
The docs must be wrong. I just tested with all seven of the graphic options in
the tools palette, and they all rotate just fine.

LiveCode refuses to scale rotated images if the angle is set and lockloc is
false but if you set lockloc to true you can scale the rotated image. If you
just rotate an image with lockloc set (to true) it will always keep the image
inside the original bounding box which is normally not what you w

Many thanks Craig and Bernd for your suggestions
Craig: Unfortunately the docs say revRotatePoly only works with lines, curves
and polygons
Bernd: Oh! Yes, exporting as png does work to give transparent corner bits!
Obvious now!
I think I had briefly considered this and rejected it because at
AHA, now I remember. Try the “revRotatePoly” command. That seems to work with
any graphic.

I think that only a “regular” polygon graphic can be rotated by setting its
“angle” property.That means that a roundRect or rectangular graphic do not
respond at all. LC will not throw an error, and the property sticks, but the
arc itself does not change..
I could be wrong about all this.

Export snapshot from object gives a nice image that can serve in place of the
graphic except that it has black spots at each corner outside the rounded
frame
Have you tried as "png"? It should make the black corners transparent.
export snapshot from graphic "g1" to image "iDest" as png
