Rotation

Since version 2.0.5, A trait allows performing rotation around a given center.

Note: The code is inspired from this given FPDF script created by Olivier.

The rotation affects all elements, which are printed after the method call (except clickable areas). Rotation is not kept from page to page. Each page begins with no rotation.

Only the display is altered. The getX() and getY() methods are not affected, nor the automatic page break mechanism.

All angle parameters are expressed in degrees ('°').

Usage:

To use it, create a derived class and use the PdfRotationTrait trait:

use fpdf\PdfDocument;
use fpdf\Traits\PdfRotationTrait;

class PdfRotationDocument extends PdfDocument
{
    use PdfRotationTrait;
}

// instanciation of inherited class
$pdf = new PdfRotationDocument();
$pdf->addPage();
$pdf->setFont(PdfFontName::ARIAL);
// rotate text by 45 degrees
$pdf->rotateText('My Rotated test', 45, 10, 50);
// rotate rectangle
$pdf->rotateRect(50, 30, 20, 10, -45);
// rotate image
$pdf->rotate(45, 60, 40);
$pdf->image('logo.png');
$pdf->endRotate();
