I have a need for rotated graphic objects, in particular a roundrect graphic.

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. Which means the image can really only be used against a black 
background. 

Ideally the background outside the rounded frame should be transparent, 
although I suspect that may not be possible with the bitmap image format 
produced. Is there any setting that can fix this (a mask?), or failing that set 
the colour of these pixels (I presume the snapshot is actually produced by 
rendering the object in a hidden buffer with default black background) .

The alternative solution of producing a screenshot against a background of the 
required colour is not practical; it requires displaying the object against an 
empty visible region of the screen before taking the screenshot and therefore 
an unacceptable flash for the user.
