vertical text support #531

Closed ekicyou closed 1 year ago

ekicyou commented 2 years ago

I'm experimenting with piet-direct2d to incorporate vertical text support.

  1. Is there room to introduce a writing-mode API into piet-common? I can't develop anything other than direct2d.

  2. In vertical-rl, the origin is on the upper right, is there any discussion? Is it possible to support druid?

  3. In vertical, TextLayoutBuilder::max_width is the height specification, is there any discussion?

We will close because we do not expect official demand for the time being. I will continue the experiment with a fork.

Indeed, we are not currently looking to add more features to the text API, although vertical text is definitely something we would want to support in an eventual text API for piet-gpu!
