I would find the angles from each point to each other point, take modulus(pi/2), concatenate the list with its negative, and sort.  Rotation by each angle produces a new alignment.  Only J primitives are needed.

Use complex numbers to represent the (x,y) values, and *. to convert to angles.

Dear J-Wiki,

I want to make a script that, given the X/Y values of a 2D dot-graph, will rotate the graph around its designated origin, looking for instances of 2 or more points coming into new horizontal &/or vertical alignment, and at each such instance output the full set of current X/Y values (integer-rounded).

Could you point me to the main needed ingredients?

Thanks in advance,

Peter Armstrong
