$acnv->rotate(TagOrID, angle ?,x, y?) This method rotates the object identified by TagOrID by angle. The angle is specified in degrees. If an x, y coordinate is specified, then the object is rotated about that point. Otherwise, the object is rotated about its center point, if that can be determined. #### As it stands, the module can only rotate the following object types about their centers: Lines Polygons Rectangles (if rectToPoly(1) is called) Ovals (if ovalToPoly(1) is called) All other object types (bitmap, image, arc, text, && window) can only be rotated about another point. A warning is issued if the user tries to rotate one of these object types about their center. Hopefully, more types will be able to center-rotate in the future. #### use Tk; use Tk::AbstractCanvas; my $mw=MainWindow->new(-title=>'RotateText-Test'); my $w = $mw->screenwidth; my $h = $mw->screenheight; $mw->geometry( $w."x".$h); $mw->resizable(1,1); my $canvas = $mw->Scrolled('AbstractCanvas', -background => "white", -scrollbars => "osoe", -height => 0, -relief => "solid", -width => 0, -scrollregion=>[0,0,1,1], )->pack(-anchor=>'nw', -side=>'top', -fill=>'both', -expand=>1); my $text = $canvas->createText(0,0,-anchor=>'center',-fill => 'red',-text => 'Hello Monks !!!',); #my $text = $canvas->createText(2,10,-anchor=>'center',-fill => 'red',width => 1,-text => 'Hello Monks !!!',); ## this rotates but not the characters :( $canvas->rotate($text,90,$x,$y); $canvas->viewAll(); MainLoop; ();
