AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a rectangle and rotate it around its center to demonstrate the formation of a cylinder, involving vectors, trigonometric functions, matrices, and coordinate geometry. Start by sketching the rectangle, then rotate its four vertices in sequence, and finally mirror the rotated rectangle across a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis to complete the cylindrical surface.
The prompt above was compiled from the original drawing commands and is for reference only.
