Description
JHotDraw7 has built-in support for rotation of selections. Press space bar to change the mode and the blue grippers become purple, with an extra little circle on top, for rotation.
We should support this too. This will prevent the need for separate tools for things like oval and ellipse.

Research direction
Start by locating the overlay selection and interaction code in imagej-common, then compare its behavior with JHotDraw7's built-in rotation support. Verify how the space bar changes selection modes and how blue grippers become purple with an extra rotation circle; done means overlays can be rotated without separate oval or ellipse tools.
