How can I rotate Rectangles in Libgdx?

Question

I rotated my sprite 90 degrees and I want to do the same with my rectangle to be able to use them for collision, but the rotate() method is not available on rectang

Answer 1

I think something like it can help, I can not test now,

//Rectangle
 treeRect=new Rectangle(treeSpr.getX(),
                        treeSpr.getY(),
                        treeSpr.getHeight(), //now is change width by height
                        treeSpr.getWidth());  //now is change height by width

Note: may You need to adjust the origin of the rotation for both

you can use a render ShapeRenderer to see if the result is as expected:

add for test in variable class

private ShapeRenderer sRDebugRectangel = new ShapeRenderer();

add for test in update or draw

sRDebugRectangel.begin(ShapeType.Filled);
sRDebugRectangel.identity();

sRDebugRectangel.rect(yourRectangle.getX(), 
                      yourRectangle.getY(),
                      yourRectangle.getWidth(),
                      yourRectangle.getHeight());

sRDebugRectangel.end();

can look at my answer to this question to use a shaperrender otherwise known as:
