Sorry for the messy PR... I've dropped edge_centers (I'll add them as private API in the widget PR), and should have resolved all the other comments. |

Is it really lower left? Can't angle be over 90?

Yes, it's lower left in the de-rotated frame. I'm not sure what the best way to phrase this is - perhaps just "from the lower left before rotation is applied."?

Would it better and clear enough to use "anchor point" (xy), as this term is used in the Rectangle patch docstring?

I don't think that works for Ellipse though, since the "anchor point" is the center.

Indeed, it isn't sensible for the Ellipse patch - sorry I read too quickly!
Is it worth having a get_corners property as public API for the Ellipse patch? Maybe there could a private API _get_corners for both (Rectangle and Ellipse) and Rectangle patch could have the public get_corners as a convenience property?

#21977 (comment) could be improved but this is already good.

PR Summary
This is pulled out of #21945 because it's a standalone feature, and I think it's worth the scrutiny of a separate PR.
