Re: Print Address upside down???

[John Kellogg <johnk@EAGLE.MITI.COM>]

Here is a sample program that shows how to print text at 90, 180, and 270
degrees of rotation when producing Postscript output:

begin-program
  do main
end-program

begin-procedure main
use-printer-type postscript
print '0 degree 1,1' (1,1)        ! Print line at 0 rotation
print-direct 'statusdict begin'   ! Rotate 90 degrees
print-direct '90 rotate'
print-direct '0 -792 translate'
print '90 degree 1,1' (1,1)       ! Print four lines rotated 90 degrees
print '90 degree 2,1' (2,1)
print '90 degree 3,1' (3,1)
print '90 degree 4,1' (4,1)
print-direct '-90 rotate'         ! Rotate back to 0
print-direct '-792 0 translate'

print '0 degree 2,1' (2,1)        ! Print line at 0 rotation
print-direct '180 rotate'         ! Rotate 180 degrees
print-direct '-612 -792 translate'
print '180 degree 1,1' (1,1)      ! Print four lines rotated 180 degrees
print '180 degree 2,1' (2,1)
print '180 degree 3,1' (3,1)
print '180 degree 4,1' (4,1)
print-direct '180 rotate'         ! Rotate back to 0
print-direct '-612 -792 translate'

print '0 degree 3,1' (3,1)        ! Print line at 0 rotation
print-direct '270 rotate'         ! Rotate 270 degrees
print-direct '-792 -180 translate'
print '270 degree 1,1' (1,1)      ! Print four lines rotated 270 degrees
print '270 degree 2,1' (2,1)
print '270 degree 3,1' (3,1)
print '270 degree 4,1' (4,1)
print-direct '90 rotate'          ! Rotate back to 0
print-direct '180 -792 translate'
print '0 degree 4,1' (4,1)        ! Print line at 0 rotation
print-direct 'end'
end-procedure
