If we rotate basis vectors i' and j' by angle from i and j, (so that the i' direction rotates toward j) the components of a fixed vector v change as follows:
vi becomes
vi' = vi cos + vj sin
and vj becomes
vj' = - vi sin + vj cos
These effects are illustrated in the accompanying applet. You can move the vectors and also rotate the basis.
