Text Rotate

[taojia]

Hi, we could draw text on canvas with this code, canvas.text((0,0),u'text',font=('annotation',10)). You know, this text is drawn within a bounding box parallel with the axis. So i wonder if there is any method that i could call to rotate this text? Many thanks.

The obvious solution is to draw a text to a separate image, rotate it with Image.transpose() function and then blit it to the canvas. Maybe there is a better one, though.

Thanks for this reply, Unfortunately, according to my previous post, if you frequently blit image in the canvas, you will get an error "WSERV 10". you know, this problem is still not fixed, so maybe i could not use this solution. Anyway, I will try this solution. Another solution is to split the text into one-by-one character, then to label these characters along the rotated line.

In my opinion, the redraw event should be trigged by user as well instead only called from OS. When redrawing our screen, we can create a running condition if OS decides to redraw as well.

My scape is to use double buffer technique, drawing on the mirror buffer and deserving to redraw event only a simple blit. A timer can trigger your mirror buffer update and the following code can rotate your message.

m=u"message"
m += m
s = len(m)/2
for n in range(3):
    for i in range(s):
        print m[i:i+s]

See you
