GC gc = e.gc;
gc.setAdvanced(true);

Bounds b = image.getBounds();

Transform transform = new Transform(display);
// The rotation point is the center of the image
transform.translate(50 + b.width/2, 50 + b.height/2);
// Rotate
transform.rotate(45);
// Back to the orginal coordinate system
transform.translate(-50 - b.width/2, -50 - b.height/2);
gc.setTransform(transform);
gc.drawImage(image, 50, 50);
transform.dispose();

above the code, a translate method is used twice . why is it used twice??

Think of how differently a rotation would behave for a circle if that
circle where at the origin (nothing would change) verses if it's not at
the origin (it would actually rotate around the original).
