Nope

I must be misinterpreting the docs. Why are the coordinates
different? - Dave

"The points are relative to the text regardless of the angle , so "upper
left" means in the top left-hand corner seeing the text horizontally."
Which means that with normal text without an angle, you have this box with
the array-indexes:
6,7---------4,5
| |
0,1---------2,3
However, if you have an angle of 180 (text upside down), you see this
picture:
2,3---------0,1
| |
4,5---------6,7
So, 0 & 1 hold the 'lower left corner IF you see the text horizontally' as
opposed to the 'lower left corner if you look at the picture'. The
coordinates WILL change if the angele changes (how could they not?), but
the different indexes will be for the same relative position from the text
if you were to look at the image the way the text appears horizontal
again. (Damned, this is far more easily explained face-to-face by just
rotating a piece of paper...).
