Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The setgtextvector function sets the current orientation for font
     text output to the vector specified by <x> and <y>. The current
     orientation is used in calls to the outgtext function.
 
     The values of <x> and <y> define the vector, which determines the
     rotation direction of font text on the screen. The text rotation
     options are shown below:
 
     (x, y)     Text Orientation
 
     (0,0)      Unchanged
     (1,0)      Horizontal text (default)
     (0,1)      Rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise
     (-1,0)     Rotated 180 degrees
     (0,-1)     Rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise
 
     If other values are input, only the sign of the input is used. For
     example, (-3,0) is interpreted as (-1,0).
 
     Return Value
 
     None.
