Rotating a 2d polygon around a point.

Currently I have code that is repeatedly called which animates a 2d polygon rotating around a point, based on how close to the point it is.

the problem is, my code seems to work fine for a radius of 100 or greater, but the polygon doesn’t rotate for a radius shorter than that.

Here is my code:

if (items[0] != NULL)
{	
  //the center co-ordinates of 2d polygon
  int xpos = items[0]->getX();
  int ypos = items[0]->getY();

  //vector from point to center of polygon	
  float d = items[0]->getArc();
		
  //current angle between vector and horizontal	
  float theta = atan2((float)ypos - y, (float)x - xpos);
  float angle = float(theta * (180 / 3.14159));
  items[0]->rotate(-angle - 90);

  float DEG2RAD = (float) 3.14159/180;
		
  angle = -angle +180;
  //add one to angle
  angle++;
  //convert to radians
  float degInRad = angle*DEG2RAD;
  //set x and y position of polygon
  items[0]->setPosition((float)(x + cos(degInRad)*100), (float)(y + sin(degInRad)*100));
}
