Rotatable text

Feature Request

Enable text to be rotated

Feature description

Normally PDF text origin is the bottom-left of the text, however due to the coordinate system flip, it is now the top-left.

Questions:

Q: When rotating text where should the origin of rotation be?

• At point of usual render (top-left)

Q: Which direction should rotation be in (in PDF spec it states that rotation occurs anti-clockwise)

• anti-clockwise

Q: Do we reposition text so that it does not go above the origin (i.e. move the text down so the minY = text.options.y)

• No (we expose the transformation in the boundsOfString method which outputs the resultant x,y coords for the rendered text bounding box)

Q: Units of rotation
-Degrees

Once the questions are answered ill sort a PR out

---

Example implementation i've done

• Blue dot is the text position
• Note it does work at any angle just using increments of 45 here for clarity

This could also bring in the code from boundsOfString with modification to support rotated text.

Just came across this. First of all, many thanks for adding this functionality!
Just one thing, the typedeclaration for TextOptions doesnt support rotation yet.
