printing rotated text?

Post by Mr. Strange »

I can print rotated text, and I can print formatted text (formatted means aligned and wrapped after some number of characters).

But I cannot print rotated formatted text. Will this be added to love sometime soon?

Actually, you can.

But for that you need to rotate the whole graphics thingy, with some undocumented function:

Code: Select all

love.graphics.push()
love.graphics.rotate(angle)
love.graphics.printf(text, x, y, xwrap)
love.graphics.pop()
Help us help you: attach a .love.

Nice! I have to do some tricky math to adjust for the new coordinate system, but it's totally worthwhile to get my card text printing consistently.

Thanks much for this!
