rotating along object's axis??

How do I make something (an image, a box, etc) rotate along its axis (either CORNER or CENTER_DIAMETER) instead of having the whole matrix rotated??
As an aside, and coming from Director, I find the translate(), scale() and rotate() functions very confusing and unintuitive. They seem to work like cameras in 3D modelling software instead of just plain "moving" functions. I know, I know, the transformation matrix, but I find myself struggling to find a use for a function that rotates or translates according to the world origin, instead of the object origin. Or maybe I'm just dumb.
I would still love to rotate something along its axis, so if you have any thoughts... thanks

You might want to take a look at BSpace, it's a custom Processing version that helps my students do the Flash >> Processing transition. Specifically for your case, it provides an alternative way to move objects, and change the axis for each shape.

a couple of notes:
It uses processing version 56, and there's currently only a PC version. Up-to-date versions for both platforms will be available soon.
