Option to rotate text (and only text) by 180°

Why? Because before:

Made this for myself, idk if you actually need it :)

It looks like you modified dialog_text_base.py by hand, that file is generated by wxFormBuilder from text_dialog.fbp. You should make your dialog changes using the builder and then generate a new .py file using it.

Also, I do wonder if instead of rotate, we should maybe call it flip, just in case in the future we want add a more granular rotation.

Oh. Thanks for clarification, never worked with wxWidgets

Apparently I need the exact version of wxFormBuilder, should I go for it? Or can I edit the fbp file directly?

Hello efogdev,

don't you achieve the same effect with the Padding option?

I tried to understand the advantage of your option and couldn't see it for myself. Padding is “faster” with the same end result.

Kind regards

@CrackXT yep it can be achieved with padding, but when you copy&paste and rearrange/rotate labels a lot, it's easier to click a checkbox when needed. If you have a label with padding, and you need to rotate the text, you have to change the starting cap, the ending cap, and the 2 padding values.
