    <para>
     The above example illustrates a very common way of rotating a
     graphic (in this case just a rectangle) by simply rotating the
     coordinate system. Since the graphic's coordinate system assumes
     (0,0) to be the origin, the page coordinate system is also translated
     to place the graphics not on the edge of the page. Pay attention
     to the order of <function>ps_translate</function> and
     <function>ps_rotate</function>.  In the above case the rectancle is
     rotated around the point (100, 100) in the untranslated coordinate
     system. Switching the two statements has a completely
     different result.
    </para>
    <para>
     In order to output the following text at the original position, all
     modifications of the coordinate system are encapsulated in
     <function>ps_save</function> and <function>ps_restore</function>.
    </para>
