[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Rotate TE

jwm@stdc.jhuapl.edu (Jim Meritt) (09/08/89)

Is there a graceful way to rotate a text region (with a scroll bar) 90
degrees to the left?  I want to put the (original) top on the left, and
the (original) left on the bottom with the scroll bar (originally left)
on the top.

This thread just went through the net a few weeks ago... I think the
consensus was there was an early issue of MacTutor that showed how to do it
in an amusing but inefficient way, and there was a recent issue of MacTutor
(this year sometime) that shows how to do it right.  It's in an article on
TextEdit itself, so you shouldn't have much trouble identifying the article
(that is, it has "TextEdit" (and maybe "Offscreen") in its title).
