I think I'll go with that for now and perhaps if there's a need/desire for added flexibility later, we can add it in.

That won't be necessary. I've been playing around with AffineTransform a bit, and it'll definitely handle all of our rotation needs.

The only down side is that we'll really want to work on getting either SVG or PostScript image support working because rasterized image formats (GIF/PNG/JPEG) really don't allow the same image quality that vector images do.
