Hello,
I need to know text angle in getpagetext. Will it be possible to get this value in a future release?

Thanks,
Jordi

Hi Jordi!

If it's the rectangle around the text you want
Then you should try option "3". Please read here:

It should be possible now with option 3.  You can check the relationship of the first point returned to that of the second point.

GetPageText  - Option 3

3 = Return a CSV string for each piece of text on the page with the following
format:
Font Name, Text Color, Text Size, X1, Y1, X2, Y2, X3, Y3, X4, Y4, Text
The co-ordinates are the four points bounding the text, measured using the
units set with the SetMeasurementUnits function and the origin set with
the SetOrigin function. Co-ordinate order is anti-clockwise with the bottom
left corner first.

This is just from the top of my head so you will need to test this and correct it if I am wrong.

if (X2 > X1) the angle = 0;
if (Y2 > Y1) then angle = 90;
if (X2 < X1) then angle = 180;
if (Y2 < Y1) then angle = 270;

This of course won't work if the text is rotate 45 degrees.  It should be possible to determine the angle using trigonometry of the line (x1, Y1) - (X2, Y2).

Andrew.
