Re: Text in Gdiplus

Chris,

Thanks for the reply.

I vaguely remember having done this. Once you acquire a GdiplusGraphics
from the bitmap do some form of rotate on it and then drawString. I was
using a dedicated transparent graphic solely for my text so it might
affect other detail on said graphic and you need to combine two.

I was drawing text (in 3 different orientations) and images to a
printer canvas. I couldn't really combine bitmaps as the different
resolutions (printer vs screen) were causing a problem and I couldn't
see how to specify a resolution to use in a GdiplusGraphic object?

I got there in the end by using the #transform operation with a matrix
to rotate the text to the correct orientation and position. I still
have no idea what the transform and matrix parameters were doing but
with trial and error (and a lot of paper) I got the page drawn
correctly.
