+
+        ``plot_rotation`` 1/3 is AutoCAD's landscape-on-portrait-media
+        convention: the media stays 210 x 297 and the sheet is turned, so
+        paper-space X runs along the 297 mm side. The figure *and* the axes
+        window both take the turned size — sizing only the figure left the
+        window 210 wide inside a 297 mm page, and ``set_aspect("equal")`` then
+        shrank the axes box to 0.707 and cut everything past x = 210 minus the
+        margin (measured: a 277 mm frame lost its right 27%, with ``ok: True``
+        and a MediaBox that read as correct). The margins turn with the sheet,
+        mapped the way ezdxf's own ``Page.from_dxf_layout`` maps them. What
+        the headless renderer still does not do is rotate the *content* on the
