Hi Ales and all, I think I'm a simple person, I can handle 1 problem at any given time frame ;-)
If I select a text or attribute in a schematic in gschem and rotate it 90 degrees CCW, I expect it to rotate 90 degrees CCW. If I repeat this, I expect the text or attribute to be upside down, reading right to left, and so on, and so on. Mind you, I'm not asking gschem to be able to rotate text or attributes in 45 degree steps (or even infinite smaller steps). If I mirror a text or attribute, I expect the text to be mirrored (more difficult to read) and the bottom left justification altered to bottom right ??. Unless there is some configuration value in gschem.rc indicating "MIRRTEXT=OFF", like in other CAD applications. BTW, I'm using some old gschem version in GTK+1.2 (2003-something), because my old Pentium [1, 2, MMX] machines won't boot after upgrading to FC1, so basiccaly I'm stuck to RH-7.3 ;-( Just my EUR 0.01 Kind regards, Bert Timmerman. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ales Hvezda Sent: maandag 5 september 2005 4:01 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: gEDA: 180 deg text rotation in libgeda Hi, >here's my patch to allow 180 degrees rotated text. >I'm not sure what it might break - I tested it in gschem only. > Thanks for the patch, but I don't know if I can accept this patch, mainly because in the early days, gaf support 180 rotated text (which if I am not mistaken is upside and going right to left). I changed this due to popular feedback (to the current behavior which is right side up and reading left to right). I'm curious, why do you need 180 degree rotated text? Maybe I was wrong. :-P -Ales
