Hello,

using the positioning library to place rotated nodes causes "unexpected" results (see the attached file for a minimal example). With the default option on grid=false cause positioning relative to rotated anchors and, in this example, the nodes are not vertically aligned.

It would be nice to have an absolute option for positioning, analogous to the option introduced for labels in the cvs version. That is let positioning use anchor on the borders whose angle is measured "absolutely", that is 0 is always above, etc...

Research direction

Start with the attached P.pdf and the positioning library behavior described in the issue; compare it with the label option mentioned from the CVS version. Work out the intended absolute-anchor semantics for rotated nodes and verify the reported alignment example. Done means the requested option gives the expected vertical alignment.
