around a given axis.</p>
<p>You can provide the desired axis by assigning a <a href="qvector3d.html">QVector3D</a> to the axis property or by passing a
member if <a href="qt.html#Axis-enum">Qt.Axis</a> to the setAxis
convenience function. By default the axis is (0, 0, 1) i.e.,
rotation around the Z axis.</p>
<p>The angle property, which is provided by QGraphicsRotation, now
describes the number of degrees to rotate around this axis.</p>
<p>QGraphicsRotation provides certain parameters to help control
how the rotation should be applied.</p>
<p>The origin is the point that the item is rotated around (i.e.,
it stays fixed relative to the parent as the rest of the item is
rotated). By default the origin is <a href="qpointf.html">QPointF</a>(0, 0).</p>
<p>The angle property provides the number of degrees to rotate the
item clockwise around the origin. This value also be negative,
indicating a counter-clockwise rotation. For animation purposes it
may also be useful to provide rotation angles exceeding (-360, 360)
degrees, for instance to animate how an item rotates several
times.</p>
<p>Note: the final rotation is the combined effect of a rotation in
3D space followed by a projection back to 2D. If several rotations
are performed in succession, they will not behave as expected
unless they were all around the Z axis.</p>
