[reportlab-users] How to use textobject.setTextTransform()

[Rüdiger Mähl]

Bill gave me an example:
> [...]
> angle = 270
> co = cos ( angle * pi / 180.0 )
> si = sin ( angle * pi / 180.0 )
> t.setTextTransform ( co, -si, si, co, 8.2 * inch, ( 9 - 2.5 * ( p % 4 ) =
+ 0.125 ) * inch )
> [...]

Thanks, Bill. That helped a lot, but the rotation angle was somehow 
wrong when I tried the formula with my values.

Good idea, that worked! Thank you, Jerome!
