Hi,

May I know how can I programmatically rotate the TextVobject by using the Center point? just like how we drag @ the corner.

This is the code I am using now. Seems like no luck.

Code:
4:              If TypeOf obj Is Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.TextVObject Then
5:                  Dim point As New PointF(obj.GetVObjectBounds.Width / 2, obj.GetVObjectBounds.Height / 2)
6:                  obj.Transform.RotateAt(90, point)
7:                  obj.Update()
8:              End If


Please advice.

Hi,

I think that you should use this point as argument of the RotateAt(...) method:

Code:
Dim bounds As RectangleF = obj.GetTransformedVObjectBounds()
Dim point As New PointF( _ 
     bounds.X + bounds.Width / 2, _ 
     bounds.Y + bounds.Height / 2)

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion, but seems like it's not rotating @ the center of the TextVObject. After the transform, the text will actually shifted to another location. Please advise. Thanks.

Thanks... problem solved..

Dim point As New PointF(obj.GetVObjectBounds.X + obj.GetVObjectBounds.Width / 2, obj.GetVObjectBounds.Y + obj.GetVObjectBounds.Height / 2)

You'll find that unlike ImageVObjects, the TextVObjects centre point doesn't recalculate itself when the TextVObject is resized, (transformed). So the centre point stays in an absolute position, instead of a relative position.

I've been wondering with whether this is a bug or a feature :)

Hello,

You are right. If you change size of text area it does not shift center of rotation. I added this issue to our bug tracking system. Thanks for your report.
Sincerely yours,
Dmitry Sevostyanov
