title: How to rotate a 2d plot along the x and y axis
body: <p>I would like to rotate the below example image along the x and y axis, 360 degree. Save the rotated images so that I can create a gif from the saved files.</p>
  <p>I used the scipy module with numpy but the output doesn't align with the intended output.</p>
  <p>import scipy.misc
  from scipy import ndimage
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  img = cv2.imread('ax2_figure.png')</p>
  <pre><code>plt.figure(figsize=(15, 15))
  
  for degree in range(5):
      plt.subplot(151+degree)
      rotated_img = ndimage.rotate(img, degree*60)
      plt.imshow(rotated_img, cmap=plt.cm.gray)
      plt.axis('off')
  
  plt.show()
  </code></pre>

  <p>The array that was used to generate the plots.</p>
  <pre><code>xy = array([[ 2.56565867, -0.68453676],

  <p>example image</p>
  <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dNNf1.png" width="200" />
  <p>output image in gif format.</p>
  <p>The image is large about 3MB so I added a link to the image.
