How to rotate North oriented Map

Question

I want to rotate my North oriented point shapefile to 45%, is there any way to rotate it QGIS or MapInfo?

Do you wish to print a rotated Map, or do you wish to rotate the actual data itself? — Devdatta Tengshe, Jun 19 '13 at 07:58
Hm, well the question yo claim this is a duplicate of, only asks about QGIS. This question asks about QGIS or MapInfo, so I guess it's not a complete duplicate — Peter Horsbøll Møller, Jun 20 '13 at 05:38

In QGis you need to use the Affine Plugin (plugins->Fetch Python Plugin) or you could do it using PostGIS.

Have a look at this thread for further description on correct usage.

This doesn't rotate the data, only the Map in the print. – Devdatta Tengshe Jun 19 '13 at 09:11
Editted answer to reflect that the OP wants to rotate the data and not the map. – MappaGnosis Jun 19 '13 at 11:22

In MapInfo Professional you can rotate selected objects by any angel around a specific coordinate.

Make the alyer editable
Select the objects you want to rotate
Select Objects > Rotate and enter the angle and a coordinate you want to rotate the data around
Hit OK

If you data currently is stored in a shape file, you need to save it into a tab file to be able to edit it.
