Description

vector symbols are rotated clockwise, whereas all other symbols are rotated anticlockwise.

the vector rotation code should be fixed so the rotation direction is consistent with the other symbol types

Since it is angle that is specified, I think that clockwise would be a better choice. One advantage of this is that for point symbols, clockwise would translate directly to the traditional "compass" directions: 

0 degrees = north
90 degrees = east
180 degrees = south
270 degrees = west

Should be discussed in the upcoming symbology RFC.
