Comment 10 for bug 818539

Clarification of the rotation issue. It turns out that EMF can encode rotated images. To do so it rotates the system of coordinates, writes the image, then restores the coordinate system. Inkscape branch lp988601, currently being merged into trunk, imports and exports that sort of image properly. However, if it reads an EMF with the fake sort of rotation described in post 9 above, it still cannot do anything about it, as it it just sees the larger unrotated bitmap inside which the original image appears to be rotated.
