Raphael js get element's rotation

Question

Is there a way to get an elements rotation value using the raphaeljs library? I'm sure there is but I can't find it anywhere in the documentation. I imagine its goes something like this .attr('rotation') but this doesn't work.

Answer 1

Use the Element.transform() function to get the current transformation data as well as to set it.

You probably already know that element.transform(tstring) sets the transform data, including rotation.

To get that data back from Raphael, simply call element.transform() without any parameters:

tstring = element.transform();`

Hope that helps.
