# rotate
# rotates file $2 by $1 degrees  
# for negative angles needs "0" : -0.4
# the resulting file has the statement $1degrees_ before the old file name
# this is useful if one has a small rotation to make to "straighten" a photograph
# one can quickly try a series of small rotations  -0.4, -0.5 etc

# example of usage:
#  rotate -0.4 panda.png ==>  -0.4degrees_panda.png


# keeps original, because name is changed
#1 refers to the number of degrees to rotate. 
#  only one file, viz. $2, is involved

  convert -rotate $1 $2  $1degrees_$2
