Printing text at 0degree and 90 degrees

tony_bruguier · Post by **tony_bruguier** » Fri Aug 20, 2004 3:36 pm

Hi PBers,

I'd like to know if I could print some text at a 90 degree angle. I searched thru the archive, and what is suggested is landscape/portrait thingy. But I need to do 0 degrees and 90 degrees at the same time (tricky huh?).

Thanks, as usual, for your help!
Smiles,
Tony

Print, as in on a printer, or print as in print on the screen?

On a printer.

Sorry about the inaccuracy.

Okay, this may look like I asked you then did the opposite because in my example I am drawing it to the screen. But all you'd need to do is put the StartDrawing(PrinterOutput()) bit. The main thing I'm using is PlgBlt_() to rotate an image. The procedure I made just rotates any image through 90 degrees. I hope you can work out from it how to do 90 degrees the other way too. Anyway, here you are,

Code: Select all

Dim rect.Point(2)

Procedure RotateImage(ImageNumber)
  height=ImageHeight()
  width=ImageWidth()
  If height>width
    temp=CreateImage(#PB_Any,height,height)
  Else
    temp=CreateImage(#PB_Any,width,width)
  EndIf
  rect(0)\x=height-1
  rect(0)\y=0
  rect(1)\x=height-1
  rect(1)\y=width-1
  rect(2)\x=0
  rect(2)\y=0
  DC=StartDrawing(ImageOutput())
    DrawImage(UseImage(ImageNumber),0,0)
    PlgBlt_(DC,@rect(),DC,0,0,width,height,0,0,0)
  StopDrawing()
  GrabImage(temp,ImageNumber,0,0,height,width)
  FreeImage(temp)
EndProcedure 


OpenWindow(0,0,0,400,400,#PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered,"test")
CreateImage(0,400,400)

DC=StartDrawing(ImageOutput())
  Box(0,0,400,400,$FFFFFF)
  Locate(50,50)
  FrontColor(255,0,0)
  DrawingMode(1)
  DrawText("This is sideways")
StopDrawing()

RotateImage(0)

StartDrawing(ImageOutput())
  Locate(10,10)
  DrawText("This is straight")
StopDrawing()

CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
ImageGadget(0,0,0,400,400,UseImage(0))

Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow

Just let me know if you have any questions about it.

EDIT: I think ebs' way is probably better, didnt know that one.

Tony,

Take a look at the PrintRotatedText() procedure in the following code. I took an example of printing rotated text on an image and modified it to use the printer instead.

Regards,
Eric

Code: Select all

;- draw rotated text on specified image
Procedure DrawRotatedText(Image.l, Text.s, X.l, Y.l, FontName.s, Size.l, Angle.l, Weight.l, Italic.l, Underline.l, StrikeOut.l, Color.l)
  PrevFont.l
  hFont.l
  ImageDC.l
  
  ; get image device context for API calls
  UseImage(Image)
  ImageDC.l = StartDrawing(ImageOutput())
  
  ; font size is in pixels and negative
  ; if you are specifying the character height
  lfHeight.l = Size * GetDeviceCaps_(ImageDC, #LOGPIXELSY) / 72
  
  ; create rotated font and select into image DC
  hFont = CreateFont_(lfHeight, 0, Angle * 10, 0, Weight, Italic, Underline, StrikeOut, #ANSI_CHARSET, #OUT_TT_PRECIS, #CLIP_LH_ANGLES, #PROOF_QUALITY, #DEFAULT_PITCH|#FF_DONTCARE, FontName) 
  PrevFont = SelectObject_(ImageDC, hFont)
  
  ; set position
  Locate(X, Y)
  ; transparent background

  ; draw text in specified color

Oh my God! Thank you Thank you! Humm, you're on my top list when I get a gmail invitation

tony_bruguier,

I thought again to your post and tried to design something non API dependant ... Maybe this may help. Tell me suggestions / comments or come back with any question :

Code: Select all

;
; Testing the possibility to design a procedure to draw a rotated label without using any API commands.
; F.Weil : 20040822
;
Enumeration
  #Window_Main
  #Font
  #Image_Temp
  #Image_Background
  #Image_Text
EndEnumeration

Dim TextPixels.l(0, 0)
Global WindowXSize.l, WindowYSize.l, kPi.f

;
; DrawRotatedLabel
; (
; ImageWidth.l,              Image width
; ImageHeight.l,             Image height
; TextLeft.l,                Text anchor point x coordinate
; TextTop.l,                 Text anchor point y coordinate
; TextCX.l,                  Text rotation center x coordinate
; TextCY.l,                  Text rotation center y coordinate
; DegAngle.l                 Angle in degrees for absolute rotation
; )
;
; In fact this would work for any given image. This procedure is not optimized to run fast (should be downgraded to FASM).
; Here I assume that #Black is the transparent color to not process. This should also be entered as a procedure parameter.
; I did store pixels in a glbal array to design this "test level" procedure, but it should be changed so that the array to use would be an address.
; Also in this benchmark, I assume to draw directly onto the screen (or a sprite or anything inside StartDrawing() / StopDrawing()).
;
; The rotation DegAngle parameter is in integer degrees for easyness of use, but may be changed to a floating real number (which would be just
; shorter in the procedure code).
;
Procedure DrawRotatedLabel(ImageWidth.l, ImageHeight.l, TextLeft.l, TextTop.l, TextCX.l, TextCY.l, DegAngle.l)
  ;
  ; Conversion of DegAngle (integer degrees) to RadAngle for calculating with regular Sin() / Cos() functions
  ;
  RadAngle.f = DegAngle * kPi
  CRadAngle.f = Cos(RadAngle)
  SRadAngle.f = Sin(RadAngle)
  ;
  ; Transofrmation of anchor point coordinates to rotated anchor point
  ;
  rCX = TextCX + (TextLeft - TextCX) * CRadAngle - (TextTop - TextCY) * SRadAngle
  rCY = TextCY + (TextTop - TextCY) * CRadAngle + (TextLeft - TextCX) * SRadAngle
  ;
  ; Parse all pixels and draw rotated pixels if not transparent
  ;
  For x = 0 To ImageWidth - 1
    For y = 0 To ImageHeight - 1
      Pixel = TextPixels(x, y)
      If Pixel <> #Black
          rx = x * CRadAngle - y * SRadAngle + rCX
          ry = y * CRadAngle + x * SRadAngle + rCY
          If rx => 0 And rx <= WindowXSize And ry => 0 And ry <= WindowYSize
