cos(0) == 1 (X axis)
sin(0) == 0 (Y axis)

So, in default SFML coordinates, angle zero is towards the right.

I'm not sure that a rectangle can be described that clearly as having a "direction". Is its width the direction of the rectangle or its height? I suppose it would depend on which is 'longer'.

If its rotation is zero, its width is to the right and its height is downwards.
