def rotate(cls,angle):
     """
     rotates the camera coordinates about the center of the camera by
     specified angle. Modifies the CameraGeometry in-place (so
     after this is called, the pix_x and pix_y arrays are
     rotated).
     
     Note:
     -----
     This is intended only to correct simulated data that are
     rotated by a fixed angle.  For the more general case of
     correction for camera pointing errors (rotations,
     translations, skews, etc), you should use a true coordinate
     transformation defined in `ctapipe.coordinates`.      
     
     Parameters
     ----------
     cls: give the name of the class whose pixel positions should be rotated
     angle: value convertable to an `astropy.coordinates.Angle`
         rotation angle with unit (e.g. 12 * u.deg), or "12d"
