How to display an INCLINED (TILTED) TEXT in a view

[Ciampo]

Hi,


I want to display some text in a view with circle an lines.

But my text has to be diplayed inclined or tiltled (I don't know the real word) that is to say on a line with an angle of 45° or 62° or any ° from the horizontal.


The CDC class doesn't seem to give me the solution even using its DrawState Methods.


does anyone have the solution ?


Thanks

When you create a font (CreateFont or CFont::CreateFont) one of the paramters you can specify is the "escapement" of the font. The on-line help says:


---

nEscapement


Specifies the angle (in 0.1-degree units) between the escapement vector and the x-axis of the display surface. The escapement vector is the line through the origins of the first and last characters on a line. The angle is measured counterclockwise from the x-axis.

---


So you can have text at 45 degrees by setting escapement to 450.

Thank you, daren
I ve tried this in my view

void CTestrView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
{
CTestrDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);

// TODO: add draw code for native data here
CFont myFont;
if (!myFont.CreateFont( 32, 10, 450, 450, 1000,
0, 0, 0, 0, OUT_DEVICE_PRECIS, CLIP_TT_ALWAYS,
PROOF_QUALITY, DEFAULT_PITCH, NULL ))
MessageBox ("Erreur de creation de Fonte", "", MB_OK);

SetFont( &myFont, TRUE);

pDC->TextOut (120, 120, (LPCTSTR) "toto", 4);
}


Toto is written but not inclined (tiled).
Is there any special option to use at the font cration or does the matter comes from the SetFont call


thanks

Hi.

You probably need to select the font into the DC, via pDC->SelectObject().

Can we display tilted text on a dialog probably by using label control or any other way through code.
