Mac Forum / Programming / Mac Programming / August 2007Drawing text at an angle within a view?
This is probably a silly question, but when drawing within a common view, drawing various shapes and text, can you draw text at an angle? I don't see an attribute for angle or rotation but it seems to me that in order to have text drawn at an angle, its housing view must be rotated?

The following works just fine for me: @implementation RotatedView - (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect { NSAffineTransform *t = [NSAffineTransform transform]; [t translateXBy:200. yBy:200.]; [t rotateByDegrees:40.]; [t translateXBy:-200. yBy:-200.]; [t set]; [@"Hello World" drawAtPoint:NSMakePoint(100., 100.) withAttributes:nil]; [[NSAffineTransform transform] set]; } @end > > This is probably a silly question, but when drawing within a common > > view, drawing various shapes and text, can you draw text at an angle?

Thanks for doc pointer, it's what I needed.
