Abstract
An approach is provided where a request is received to rotate graphical objects displayed on a display screen from a first orientation to a second orientation, the request received from a user operating the machine. The second orientation of the graphical objects is calculated based on a rotational reference that is included in the request. The graphical objects are then displayed on the display screen at the calculated second orientation, with the second orientation being visually rotated from the first orientation.
