Equation of curves
Rotation based on cartesian co-ordinate system

Newx =oldx*Cos(Theta) - oldy*Sin(Theta)

i.e. x' = x*cos(Theta) - y*sin(Theta)
Newy =oldy*Cos(Theta) + oldx*Sin(Theta)
i.e. y' = y*cos(Theta) + x*sin(Theta)

Rotation based on Cartesian CS

Let x = r * cos(Theta)
And y = r * sin(Theta)
X = r * cos(P+T)
Y = r * sin(P+T)
Now, x' = r * (Cos(P)*Cos(T)-Sin(P)*Sin(T))
And y' = r * (Sin(P)*Cos(T)+Cos(P)*Sin(T))
Substituting value of X and y
Thus, x' = x * Cos(T) - y * Sin(T)
y' = y * Cos(T) + x * Sin(T)
