redefining a center point or pivot point

[tsturzl]

Hey I need to redefine a center point for the sprite so I can rotate
it around a certain point. My artist made arms to overlay the body and
they rotate to point to the mouse, problem is the shoulder, which
should be the pivot point, isn't on the center of the image, so once
you get about 70 degrees of rotation the shoulder wanders from its
position.

So is there a way to define another point for rotating around, or
redefining the center point. I remember doing something similar in
pygame, but I'm not sure how to do it in Rabbyt. Any ideas? Also if I
can redefine the center or a new pivot point while the coordinates be
in reference to the image or the screen?

You can use the Sprite's `shape` attribute:

For instance the following shape would set the center of the sprite at the top middle: [-w/2, 0, w/2, h]

Will this change the look of the sprite though, and will it allow me
to rotate the sprite around that point?
