In core-mis.tex there are some handy command for graphical text manipulation defined.
\scale
[TODO]
\mirror
There is a \mirror{\sl mirorred} word in this sentence.
\mirror
makes a \hbox
and mirrors the contents. If you want to have a longer paragraph mirorred, you have to make a \vbox
manually.
[TODO: an example]
\rotate
You can rotate something by an arbitrary angle by saying something like
\rotate[rotation=42]{the ultimate answer}
.
.
The rotation angle and the location (which determines around which point the content is rotated) are optional and can also be set by
\setuprotate[rotation=42,location=normal] % normal is the default \rotate{the ultimate answer}
An example by Hans Hagen showing the influence of location=
argument at different angles:
\dostepwiserecurse{0}{359}{45} {\startlinecorrection[blank] \hbox {\expanded{\setuprotate[rotation=\recurselevel]}% \traceboxplacementtrue \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=depth] {\ruledhbox{\bfb (depth)}}}}% \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=fit] {\ruledhbox{\bfb (fit)}}}}% \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=broad] {\ruledhbox{\bfb (broad)}}}}% \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=normal]{\ruledhbox{\bfb (normal)}}}}% \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=high] {\ruledhbox{\bfb (high)}}}}} \stoplinecorrection}
[some more comments to be added]
You can rotate a long paragraph as well.
[example]
Depending on the usage you will sometimes probably want to include the content of what you wish to rotate into a box. Compare the following two examples:
\setuplayout[width=3cm] \setuprotate[rotation=180,location=broad] a\rotate{e}i\par a\rotate{\hbox{e}}i
\crop
