Pixel tracker.. track rotation?

Is it possible to track rotation in TVP?
I've gotten the hang of the pixel tracker.. in this shot, I have some painted eyeglasses that I need to track with the motion of the girl's face.
I can track x,y.. but can TVP track rotation as well? Some trick for this with the 2 point stabilizer?

If you track only 1 point, you don't get any rotation, only position.
If you track 2 points, you get position, rotation, and even scale.
if you'd track 3 points, you'd get position, rotation, and non-proportional scale.

Can you provide an example as to how I can track more than one point? I can "set tracker", but I can only set one! Then the keyframes are created... This doesn't seem to be covered in the manual.
Thanks,

2 point stabilization is the one you need. See manual for details.

Ahh..! Ok, after some investigation, I found a method that works. I had to clean it up with the keyframer a bit, but I got working motion tracking.
I'll do a tutorial for everyone this weekend.
Thanks again!
