Using a matrix to rotate rectangles individually

by

I would use a function similar to this:

public void RotateRectangle(Graphics g, Rectangle r, float angle) {
  using (Matrix m = new Matrix()) {
    m.RotateAt(angle, new PointF(r.Left + (r.Width / 2),
                              r.Top + (r.Height / 2)));
    g.Transform = m;
    g.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, r);
    g.ResetTransform();
  }
}

It uses a matrix to perform the rotation at a certain point, which should be the middle of each rectangle.

Then in your paint method, use it to draw your rectangles:

g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
//g.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Black), r1);
//DoRotation(e);
//g.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Black), r2);

RotateRectangle(g, r1, 45);
RotateRectangle(g, r2, 65);

Also, here is the line to connect the two rectangles:

g.DrawLine(Pens.Black, new Point(r1.Left + r1.Width / 2, r1.Top + r1.Height / 2),
                       new Point(r2.Left + r2.Width / 2, r2.Top + r2.Height / 2));

Using these settings:

private Rectangle r1 = new Rectangle(100, 60, 32, 32);
private Rectangle r2 = new Rectangle(160, 100, 32, 32);

resulted in:
