Rotation

 
Rotation moves the filtered image clockwise around the center. The maximum amount of rotation (100%) is the arc size of one slice. Since all slices are identical, rotating by more than one slice has no benefit. All that it would do is to periodically repeat exactly the same pattern every time that the rotation crossed a multiple of the slice size. So by limiting the rotation to just the size of one slice you get much finer control over the image movement, with 100 steps over one slice instead of 100 steps over a full circle.

For example, if Split is set to 4, then the image is split into 4 slices and each slice covers a 90 degree arc of the image (one fourth of a full circle of 360 degrees = 90 degrees). Rotation then moves the image clockwise from 0 to 90 degress. The following diagrams illustrate what happens with Split set to 4 and Rotation at 0 compared to 50 (50% x 90 degrees = 45 degress).

Rotation = 0

Rotation = 50
