[Qgis-user] QGIS rotate entire rendered map

[Raymond Nijssen]

Hi Bjorn,

You can rotate your map in the composer only. First, add a map to your 
layout. After selecting it you can edit the rotation value in the tab 
"Item properties".

I don't know when this feature was added, but it has been in QGIS master 
for a while.

Good luck!
Raymond
