drawTextCharRotation

Type: Integer

Availability: Read or write at run time only

The drawTextCharRotation property of the Window class specifies the angle, in degrees, between the base line and the x-axis of the form or control of each character. For example, a value of 90 draws the characters so that they are positioned on their side with their base parallel with the right hand edge of the form or control.

The default value is 0 degrees.

This property, in conjunction with the drawTextRotation property, allows the output of non-horizontal left to right text.

Use this property only with the drawTextAt method, as the rotated text could be rotated outside the rectangle defined by the drawTextIn method.

The drawTextCharRotation property, together with the drawFontBold, drawFontStrikethru, drawFontItalic, drawFontName, drawFontSize, drawFontUnderline, and drawTextRotation properties, determines the font used for graphics text drawing methods.

The font that is used defaults to the application font defined by the fontName property of the Application class.
