Remarks

When the map is part of a rotated dataframe, assign the dataframe rotation angle (in degrees) to this property.  This will ensure that the world file or GeoTIFF header appropriately accounts for rotation of the image.  The rotation angle of a map can be read from IDisplayTransformation::Rotation. The display transformation of the active view can be accessed via IActiveView::ScreenDisplay.
