  such as a point pattern or a window. 
}
\usage{
  rotate(X, \dots)
}
\arguments{
  \item{X}{Any suitable dataset representing a two-dimensional
    object, such as a point pattern (object of class \code{"ppp"}),
    or a window (object of class \code{"owin"}).}
  \item{\dots}{Data specifying the rotation.}
}
\value{
  Another object of the same type, representing the
  result of rotating \code{X} through the specified angle.
}
\details{
  This is generic. Methods are provided for
  point patterns (\code{\link{rotate.ppp}})
  and windows (\code{\link{rotate.owin}}).
