Formula for rotating a 4 point (rectangle) polygon?

I am using Zelle graphics, but I suppose it is the same for any graphics program. From what I can tell, Zelle graphics does not have a "setheading" or "rotate" command for the rectangle (this is probably because the bounding box is created with two points). In turtle graphics it is easy with setheading(). So presently, I have a class that creates a polygon. I have a draw method and a rotate method. In the rotate method I am changing the Point(x1,y1) for each corner in a FOR LOOP. I broke out some graph paper to get the initial first few points to rotate, there is complex math I believe that would make this more palatable. Presently this is my init method with these attributes, but I am sure there is a better way:

    class create():
def __init__(self, p1x,p1y,p2x,p2y,p3x,p3y,p4x,p4y):
    self.p1x = p1x
    self.p2x = p2x
    self.p3x = p3x
    self.p4x = p4x
    self.p1y = p1y
    self.p2y = p2y
    self.p3y = p3y
    self.p4y = p4y

NOTE : this is not the entirety of my code. This is just the INIT method. I don't want anyone to think I have not tried this. I have with working code to rotate a polygon to the left about 5 points, but this is just using self.p1x=self.p1x+1 - I know this is not the correct way to rotate a rectangle. But at present I have a working model for rotating it slightly.

EDIT : Here is the new work I have tried. I am still trying to understand this :

  • I need the midpoint, because the equation is derived from it. That is after I get the rotation correct. I am going to assume a midpoint in a 10x10 starting from the origin is going to be 5,5 for this example.

Does this code look ok so far? I am going to assume a rotation angle of 10 degrees for this example. NOTE : I am getting a high number for the movement of the x,y point so I think I have done something in error :

import math
#assume a 10 x 10 rectangle top left corner 0,0
#top left coords
x=0
y=0
#midpoints
midx = 5
midy = 5

#degrees to radians???????

#new top left x
newx1 = x - midx * math.cos(10) - (y-midy)*math.sin(10)+ midx
#new top left y
newy1 = y - midy * math.sin(10) - (x-midx)*math.cos(10)+ midy
print(newx1, newy1)

The output is : 6.475252090935413 3.524747909064587

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

How to show number of registered users in Laravel based on usertype?

i'm trying to display data from the database in the admin dashboard i used this: <?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB; $users = DB::table('users')->count(); echo $users; ?> and i have successfully get the correct data from the database but what if i want to display a specific data for example in this user table there is "usertype" that specify if the user is normal user or admin i want to user the same code above but to display a specific usertype i tried this: <?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB; $users = DB::table('users')->count()->WHERE usertype =admin; echo $users; ?> but it didn't work, what am i doing wrong? source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68199726/how-to-show-number-of-registered-users-in-laravel-based-on-usertype

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE".
