GETGTEXTROTATION

Graphics Function: Returns the current orientation of the font text output by OUTGTEXT.

Module: USE DFLIB

Syntax

result = GETGTEXTROTATION( )

Results:

The result is of type 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.
