Now define A to be a rotation matrix: (Use geometric intuition!)

In [18]: 
alpha = 0.1*np.pi
In [19]: 
A = np.array([
    [np.cos(alpha), np.sin(alpha)],
    [-np.sin(alpha), np.cos(alpha)]

Now multiply the geometry by this matrix, reassign to stickman, and plot:

stickman = np.einsum("ij,jk->ik", A, stickman)
pt.plot(stickman[0], stickman[1])
