AffineTransform rotation question

[hilz]

Hi all:
I have an AffineTransform that has a uniform scale(x scale == y scale). How
can i get the rotation portion of it, or the rotation angle "theta" ?

One suggestion was to scale it by the square root of the determinant of the
matrix, and set the translate portion to 0,0 but that does not seem to give
correct values.
Can anyone please tell me what do i need to do to get the theta ?
thanks

Just apply the transformation to two simple points P0(0,0), P1(1,0). The
resulting P0' and P1' will allow you to determine everything you want to
know with elementary math.

That was simple yet effective!
I am new to this area and i am experimenting with it.Your suggestion opened
my eyes to a lot of things!
