TFont.Orientation property

Declaration

property Orientation:;

Description

Orientation is an Integer property which contains the rotation angle used for text in 1/10ths of a degree. The rotation angle is measured between the x axis of the canvas and the font's baseline; at zero angle the text is drawn horizontally from left to right ("3 o'clock direction"), and a positive angle corresponds to a rotation in counter-clockwise direction.

Here are some examples (of course, intermediate values are allowed as well):

Setting a new value for the property causes the font Reference to be re-created, and calls Changes to signal the OnChange event handler (when assigned).

The default value for the property is 0 (zero).
