Hi Everybody (especially Microsoft),
we build EMF files with rotated text for export to office (powerpoint,
word). It is planned that the text can be edited in the office document.
Without the rotate transformation the text stays as a block and can be
edited in the office document after ungrouping. But a rotated text leads to
single charackters when ungrouping.
The following sample code creates an emf file. The file can be dragged to
powerpoint to see the problem.
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(100, 100, PixelFormat.For mat32bppArgb);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromIm age(bmp);
IntPtr hdc = g.GetHdc();
Metafile mf = new Metafile(@"test .emf", hdc);
g.ReleaseHdc(hd c);
g.Dispose();
g = Graphics.FromIm age(mf);
g.RotateTransfo rm(30.0f); // Leads to single charackters in the Emf file
String s = "1.2345";
g.DrawString(s, this.Font, Brushes.Red, 0, 0);
g.Dispose();
Can anyone tell me how I can draw rotated text without loosing the editing
capability?
There must be a way. Because when I make a rotated text area in power point
and save this to an emf picture it can be imported without loosing editing
capability. I already enumerated the metafile to find out the record types.
But that does not tell me which gdi methods I have to use.
Thank you.
Cheers,

Try specifying that the metafile can use both EMF and enhanced EMF (with
GDI+ commands).

Good idea. I tried all types.
Both EmfType.EmfOnly and EmfType.EmfPlus Dual result in single
charackter blocks when ungrouping.
EmfType.EmfPlus Only results in an empty graphic when ungrouping.
Unfortunately no type gives a satisfying result.

I'm using PIL to generate some images which may be rotated at the
user's option. When they are rotated, the original image is cropped
in the new image (which is fine), and the corners are black (which
is not, in this case). I can't find any documented way to change
the default fill color (if that's what it is) for the corners, and
PIL also doesn't seem to support a flood fill. I have created a
flood fill in Python, which works but which...

Hi,
I am facing a problem in my application. I have an image on which there
are many numbers present. I can find the pixel position of the center
of those numbers. Now I have the names of those numbers in seperate
file which I have to write to corresponding numbers.
I rotate my image on 45 degrees with point to rotate 30 pixels on top
left which shows my text on 45 degrees on top left. Writing this
doesn't gives my much trouble.
