The rotation tool works exactly the way Illustrator's does.
In, it doesn't.
2) Select the rotate tool (whose icon is the universal symbol for "rotate" that can't possibly be confused with anything else)
3) Click once to define an origin
4) Click and drag to interactively rotate about that origin.
This is how the Illustrator rotate tool has worked since, literally, Illustrator 1.0.
There is already a database product called Pentaho Mondrian. You may want to think about chosing another name, there are still 1-2 alternative famous artists left :-)
Great work Artur. I think this has potential, with enough contributors, to be a widely used tool. It's unfortunate that some people are getting really hung up on a specific interpretation of the submission title (that it currently has feature-parity with Illustrator), instead of talking about the seriously impressive amount of work you've put into this thing, or actual constructive criticism. Don't let it get to you,…
Agreed wholeheartedly, and this is as someone who's literally spent thousands of hours using Illustrator. I played with it for a few minutes and found the interaction to be very natural, and I only found a couple of bugs. I would suggest that if you avoid a lot of the print-specific aspects of Illustrator like color separations, supporting spot colors, screening options and a lot of their more gimmicky features, this…
I changed it to select only the two points that made up that line segment because I thought it made more sense, and there's usually plenty of hit-area on the inside of the shape for selecting the whole thing. In this case, I see how it was confusing.
I suppose I could revert back to the old selection model, or add an edge case where clicking on a line segment selects the whole shape if it consists of only two points. The current system would make more sense if there were more things you could do with selected points besides just moving them around with the arrow keys.
Either way, thanks for reporting this. If you catch any more problems, please log them in https://github.com/artursapek/mondrian/issues. :)

Vanilla JS is easier for me. I don't have time to learn the workings of coffeescript just to read a library casually.
'The golden rule of CoffeeScript is: "It's just JavaScript". The code compiles one-to-one into the equivalent JS, and there is no interpretation at runtime' There really is very little magic with coffeescript. Most of it is syntactic sugar which can be learned at a glance of: http://coffeescript.org/ . Don't mean to come off as pushy but I think it's well worth learning what coffeescript is. Especially if you are fam…
