Rotate Text
I'm creating a form to be printed that has text going both horizontal and vertical. How can text be rotated?
Re: Rotate Text
Hi darink,
Welcome to the forums!
liveCode does not provide simple text rotation, a method I've seen of doing this is to import a snapshot of the text and rotate the image. This will provide you with the text rotated but not:
T
e
x
t
That, I'm sure could be done with some fancy coding.

Super Cool - just what I needed. Have never seen the "export snapshot from field "f1" to tVar as png". Not sure what the moderator comment about removing posts is about!
Still, it would be nice to have native rotation that uses the font rendering machinery of your platform, but I'll live.
