---------------------------------------
{quote}[~cowwoc]Is it possible to add a method that would return the actual
angle of transformation, even if it isn't a multiple of 90 degrees?{quote}
Well, the code for that is trivial (apply the matrix to (1,0,1) and (0,0,1) and
calculate the atan of the difference; if you are more interested in uprightness
and less in actual text direction, probably add 180° in case of a negative
determinant), so anyone can create code to that effect. Whether a change of the
API is desired, I cannot tell.
{quote}With PDFBOX-1912 in the works{quote}
Well, it is IN PROGRESS since May *2014*, and the latest commit to that project
was in October 2014... Or do you have other activity information with more
recent dates?
