It's possible something in this thread would help you:

In a window, outside of a canvas or repeater, templates live in a [TemplateHolder](https://sdk.inductiveautomation.com/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.53/com/inductiveautomation/factorypmi/application/components/template/TemplateHolder.html) which is a type of JPanel, so rotating it doesn't seem simple to me. I mean, don't get me wrong, I can imagine ways to paint the components differently, but it's not clear to me how to cleanly get a true template rotation.
