A 2D rotation transform in WPF is accomplished by using a transformation matrix. The transformation matrix is multiplied by another matrix representing a single 2D point to be transformed. The resulting matrix describes the transformed point.

Where ϴ represents the Angle property of the ScaleTransform, indicating the number of degrees to rotate the point in a clockwise direction.
This leads to the equations:
