I just need help with a concept I can’t wrap my mind around.  
If you’ve been the the site [anovadesign.com](http://anovadesign.com) he has a “picture map”  
I’ve seen this used at other sites too.  
But what I need help with is the rotation. The pictures always rotate around the point you click on.  
I just don’t get it. I understand the momentum and all for the swing though.  
If someone could just outline it or point me in the right direction. Maybe give it a more tehnical name. That’d be great.
