Rotating a Brush?

GIMP Version: 2.6.11
Operating System: Windows
OS Version: XP - SP3
GIMP Experience: Beginner Level

Is there some way to rotate a brush in Gimp like you can in Photoshop without having to make several layers and rotating and moving each layer? I looked at all the brush dynamics but I did't find anything. Did I miss something?

Fantastic! Thanks Ana. Heck I was looking for a setting, never imagined it was a script.

Actually in the Gimp-2.7.4 version.
This is already available via brush angle.

Cool. Thanks, Rod. I had so much trouble with trying to get mathmap to work, I finally gave up and downloaded the portable (James H version). Just haven't had time to work thru it yet with all the little tweaks and nuances I saw posted about it. When I do I'll be sure to try that brush angle puppy out.

dd also created a python plugin to do this too which is pretty cool.

Sorry Pirate541
