Formatting - sideway

The /sideway/ keyword causes the following font to be rotated 90 degrees anti clockwise.

/sideway/


The sideway key must precede a /serif/ or /sans/ keyword.

Example

This example creates a 12 point serif font that is rotated by 90 degrees. The sentence is then drawn in the text frame with a sideways orientation. Normal text is restored with the remaining lines.

/sideway/
/serif/,12
/text/,500,400,600,1000,"A sentence on its side."
/left/
/serif/,12
/text/,0,0,600,100,"Regular text."


• The /sideway/ keyword must be followed by the /sans/ or /serif/ keyword. To restore a normal horizontal font either the /left/, /right/, /centre/, or /middle/ keyword must be followed by the /sans/ or /serif/ keyword.
