You'll need to set the "points" property of a polygon style graphic to
do this. You'd calculate the vertex locations for the 5 points (the
last is the same as the first) based on the angle of rotation using a
little trigonometry. I'll leave the details as an exercise for the
reader, but any computer graphics book will have the magic
incantation.
