LAnnText::GetRotateAngle

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LAnnText::GetRotateAngle(pdAngle)

L_DOUBLE *pdAngle;

/* pointer to a double that returns the rotate angle */

Gets the rotation angle for a Text annotation object. This function is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits.

Parameter	Description
pdAngle	Pointer to a double variable to be updated with the rotation angle.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Call this function to get the rotation angle for this annotation object.

The angle is in radians, and uses the following convention.

The possible range of rotate values is (-Pi) ... (Pi)

A rotation in the clockwise direction is considered a positive rotation.

A rotation in the counter-clockwise direction is considered a negative rotation.

For example, if a rectangle is rotated 90 degrees in the counter clockwise direction, this function will get (-PI/2) for the rotation angle. If a rectangle is rotated 90 degrees in the clockwise direction, this function will get PI/2 for the rotation angle. If a rectangle is rotated 270 degrees in the counter clockwise direction, this is equivalent to 90 degrees in the clockwise direction so the rotation value returned is PI/2.
