Orientation options for text.
Orientation |
Description |
|---|---|
Horizontal |
The text is displayed horizontally. |
Vertical |
The text is displayed, one letter on top of each other, reading from top to bottom. |
Up |
The text is rotated to read from bottom to top. |
Down |
The text is rotated to read from top to bottom. |
|
When you rotate text up or down, the vertical and horizontal alignment are still relative to the text and not to the bounding box. In other words, text displayed with up orientation and left alignment is actually flush against the bottom of the bounding box, not the left side. |
