Rotate a point around another point

Question

I have a task to draw a specific graphic. As part of this task I need to rotate some dot\'s on 45 degrees.

I\'ve spent already 2 days trying to calculate a formula,

Answer 1

You're math looks weird to me. I think dx = r*Cos(theta) and dy = r*Sin(theta).

Here's a little program I wrote because this was bothering me, and I haven't done math is years.

Point center = new Point() { X = 576, Y = 576 };

Point previous = new Point() { X = 849, Y=561 };
double rotation = 45;
double rotationRadians = rotation * (Math.PI / 180);

//get radius based on the previous point and r squared = a squared + b squared
double r = Math.Sqrt(Math.Pow(previous.X - center.X, 2) + Math.Pow(previous.Y - center.Y, 2));
Console.WriteLine("r = " + r.ToString());

//calculate previous angle
double previousAngle = Math.Atan((previous.Y - center.Y) / (previous.X - center.X));
Console.WriteLine("Previous angle: " + previousAngle.ToString());

double newAngle = previousAngle + rotationRadians;

Point newP = new Point();
newP.X = center.X + r * Math.Cos(newAngle);
newP.Y = center.Y + r * Math.Sin(newAngle);

Console.WriteLine("(" + newP.X.ToString() + ", " + newP.Y.ToString() + ")");

Console.ReadLine();
