+## Turning a page by any angle
+
+`rotate` writes a number on the page — `/Rotate`, a multiple of ninety — and
+`turn` rewrites the page onto a sheet of its own, for every angle in between.

+pdfops turn -by 30 tilted.pdf turned.pdf

+bounding box — `w·|cos θ| + h·|sin θ|` across, `w·|sin θ| + h·|cos θ|` down —
+and the page is centred on it. That is the difference from straightening a
+scan, below, which keeps the paper it was given.
+
+An angle that is a multiple of ninety goes through `/Rotate` and nothing else
+happens: no transformation, no new content stream, and text that was selectable
+stays selectable.
+
+**Positive is clockwise**, as ISO 32000-1 Table 30 and `Rotate` already mean it.

 ## Straightening a scan
 
 `deskew` measures how far each page is tilted and turns the crooked ones back.

+### Turning by an angle that is not a quarter
+
+**Turn them by an angle**, beside *Turn them*, takes the angles the cycle
+button cannot say: any number of degrees, clockwise, added to whatever the page
+already carries.
+
+⛔ **The paper grows and nothing is cut off.** A page turned thirty degrees
+comes back on a bigger sheet, because a sheet that stayed the same size would
+have two corners of the page over its edge. The status line says so —
+*"turned 1 by 30 degrees — the paper grew to hold the corners"* — since that is
+the part nobody expects. It is the one difference from **straightening a
+crooked scan**, which keeps the paper it was given: a fraction of a degree on a
+page whose text sits well inside its margins costs nothing.
+
+A quarter, a half or three quarters still go through the page's own `/Rotate`
+and change nothing else about the file, so text that was selectable stays
+selectable.
+
+⛔ The two controls **share a row**, which is not a matter of taste: given a row
+of its own the angle pushed the Pages panel forty-four pixels past the bottom
+of its box, and a last control that can only be scrolled to is a control people
+do not find. The workbench has a test that measures exactly that.
