[reportlab-users] How to write text upside down?

[Gregory Piñero]

I'm trying to write some text, one string I want to put upside down
since the printed document is meant to be folded.

Here's what I'm currently trying, with calling c.rotate(180) but no
text seems to show up on the document after I call that.

def write_text(c,front_text,inside_text):
    c.setFillColor(black)
    c.setFont("Helvetica", 22)
    c.drawCentredString(3*(width/4), int(.4*height), front_text) #want
right side up
    c.setFont("Helvetica", 18)
    c.rotate(180) #write text upside down so it's right when folded.
    c.drawCentredString(width/4, int(.75*height), inside_text) #want upside down
    c.setFont("Helvetica", 8)
    c.drawCentredString(width/4, int(.13*height),
        "Created while fondly thinking of you at") #want right side up

Is there a different method I should be using?

Thanks again,

Greg
