GETGTEXTROTATION

Graphics Function: Returns the current orientation of the font text output by OUTGTEXT. This routine is only available for Windows.

Module

USE IFQWIN

result = GETGTEXTROTATION( )

Results

The result type is INTEGER(4). It is the current orientation of the font text output in tenths of degrees. Horizontal is 0°, and angles increase counterclockwise so that 900 tenths of degrees (90°) is straight up, 1800 tenths of degrees (180°) is upside-down and left, 2700 tenths of degrees (270°) is straight down, and so forth.

The orientation for text output with OUTGTEXT is set with SETGTEXTROTATION.

Example

! Build as QuickWin or Standard Graphics
USE IFQWIN
INTEGER ang
REAL rang
ang = GETGTEXTROTATION( )
rang = FLOAT(ang)/10.0
WRITE(*,*) "Text tilt in degrees is: ", rang
END
