Rotating Text

[oliverburton]

Hi,
I had an issue where text would not rotate with a custom font using this library. I resolved by modifying the APi.text method

Below transformationMatrix = [f2(c), f2(s), f2(s * -1), f2(c)];

I added
xtra = [f2(c), f2(s), f2(s * -1), f2(c), ''].join(" ") + "";
mode = 'Tm';

I declared mode at the top of method and initialised to Td

I then modified the args passed into the out function as folllows:

out('BT\n/' + activeFontKey + ' ' + activeFontSize + ' Tf\n' + // font face, style, size
activeFontSize * lineHeightProportion + ' TL\n' + // line spacing
textColor + '\n' + xtra + f2(x * k) + ' ' + f2((pageHeight - y) * k) + ' ' + mode + '\n' + text + ' Tj\nET');

(added xtra and modified mode)
Looks to be working for me, hope this helps somebody!

Thanks Bro, Exactly what I needed... Works Perfectly

This does allow rotating for me, but changes from my custom font to Times

@oliverburton do you have a full example for that? I didn't got this to run.
