.Description
Uses Pinvoke and ChangeDisplaySettings Win32API to make the change
Windows API enumeration of display rotation is counter-clockwise
.Example
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file ".\Set-OrientationAndResolution.ps1" 0 1920 1080
Parameter: "Rotation" is desired rotation
0 = rotate 0 = landscape
1 = rotate 270 = portrait flipped
2 = rotate 180 = landscape flipped
3 = rotate 90 = portrait
Parameter: "Width" is the pixel measurement parrallel to the task bar after rotation
Parameter: "Height" is the pixel measurement perpendicular to the task bar after rotation
