Shape script: rotated text
« on: August 16, 2017, 11:46:59 pm »
Hey hey,

Let's say I want to write a shape script that mimics the original partition's. In other words, I want to write the name / classifier rotated 90 degrees.

How do I do that?

My theories are always correct, just apply them to the right reality.

I guess the only way is to take your monitor and rotate it by 90 degrees. And if you're tired of that you might send a feature request (there's been a recent thread where someone wanted rotation and I told him he had to queue).

I think I submitted a feature request to allow labels to be rotated.  Fire off another one.

I think it should be available to all elements without having to go through ShapeScripts.
I recently raised this request here: http://www.sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php/topic,38548.0.html.

I don't know the impact on EA but it seems unlikely as it would appear to have been asked numerous times.

I presume you mean for non-rectangular notation.  It will be a bit tough to do (and I don't think it makes sense) for rectangular notation.

But in any case, it's a "Chicken and Egg" situation.  You need shapescript support to create stuff.
