function output = rotateAround(image, pointY, pointX, angle, varargin)
% ROTATEAROUND rotates an image.
%   ROTATED=ROTATEAROUND(IMAGE, POINTY, POINTX, ANGLE) rotates IMAGE around
%   the point [POINTY, POINTX] by ANGLE degrees. To rotate the image
%   clockwise, specify a negative value for ANGLE.
%
%   ROTATED=ROTATEAROUND(IMAGE, POINTY, POINTX, ANGLE, METHOD) rotates the
%   image with specified method:
%       'nearest'       Nearest-neighbor interpolation
%       'bilinear'      Bilinear interpolation
%       'bicubic'       Bicubic interpolation
%    The default is fast 'nearest'. Switch to 'bicubic' for nicer results.
%
%   Example
%   -------
%       imshow(rotateAround(imread('eight.tif'), 1, 1, 10));
