Rotate a map.

Use case
A user may wish to view the map in an orientation other than north-facing.
How to use the sample
Use the slider to rotate the map. If the map is not pointed north, the slider will show the heading relative to north in degrees. Slide the slider to zero to set the map’s heading back to north.
How it works
- Instantiate an
ArcGISMapobject. - Set the map to a
MapViewobject. - Use
awaitSetViewpointRotation(...)to set the rotation angle.
Relevant API
- ArcGISMap
- MapView
