Text direction? #249

Closed hearlambeth closed 1 year ago

hearlambeth commented 1 year ago

Hiya,

Thanks for this wonderful library. This might be a feature request or something I'm missing: does Terminal have text direction? The default is of course horizontal, but I'm wondering about printing vertically, even at diagonal/arbitrary angles.

output u t p u t

This wouldn't be hard for me to code for my own implementation but I'm wondering if it's already here. I'm not seeing it in curses.

Not submitting a pull request as I'm not capable enough as a coder.

Thanks, Paul

There is not anything for vertical or diagonal text, you will probably want to use move_xy()

There is such a thing as Right-to-left unicode mark, but at least in my terminal, it has no effect, though I sometimes enable it by accident in a web browser (Command+Shift+X in Firefox on osx) and confuse myself.

Enjoy your project!

Thanks so much for the fast response!

Had no idea there was a shortcut for that. Ctrl+shift+x works in Firefox in Windows too.
