Rotated Text?

[Hakan at Exformedia.se]

If you want better print result you can scale the textfield first by factor 2 or 4, import a snapshot and then rescale the image. LiveCode will now use the extra data when printing. I’ve tried this code on a button:

on mouseUp
   lock screen
   put the rect of field 1 into tRect
   put the textSize of field 1 into tSize
   set the width of field 1 to the formattedWidth of field 1
   set the height of field 1 to the formattedHeight of field 1
   import snapshot from field 1
   set the angle of the last image to 90
   set the loc of image 1 to 100,100
   set the textSize of field 1 to the textSize of field 1 * 4
   set the width of field 1 to the formattedWidth of field 1
   set the height of field 1 to the formattedHeight of field 1
   import snapshot from field 1
   set the resizeQuality of the last image to "best"
   set the angle of the last image to 90
   put the rect of the last image into tImgRect
   repeat with i = 1 to 4
      put item i of tImgRect / 4 into item i of tImgRect
   end repeat
   set the lockloc of the last image to true — important if you want the resize to stick when unlocking screen
   set the rect of the last image to tImgRect
   set the loc of the last image to 140,100
   set the textSize of field 1 to tSize
   set the rect of field 1 to tRect
   unlock screen
end mouseUp

and if you then print the card you will see a clear difference between the two fields.

You of course need a ”field 1” with some text for it to work ;)
