rotating an image while moving

In my code I am attempting to move a box along a path, when it is moving it needs to be rotating in a circle. However I am unsure of where to start. I have the box moving along the required path using the following code.

   Xcoordinate = [0,0,5,5];
  Ycoordinate = [0,5,5,0];

figure
hold on;

for  t = [0:0.02:5.85];
     x = 50*cosd(35)*t;
     y = 50*t*sind(35)-9.81*(t^2)/2;
     theta = 5*pi/180;
     rotationfactorx = [cos(theta), -sin(theta)];
     rotationfactory = [sin(theta), cos(theta)];
     sqr = fill(Xcoordinate+x,Ycoordinate+y,'y');
     axis([-20 250 -20 250]);
     pause(.02);
     delete(sqr);
end

Put the box in a hgtramsform group. Use makehgtransform() to calculate the new rotation matrix and then set() it in the hgtransform group to get the effect of the rotation and movement.

I am unfamiliar with this command, could you explain in more detail how I would apply it to my code?
