Rotate text to the projected graticule

Syntax

Description

rotatetext rotates displayed text objects to account for the curvature of the graticule. The objects are selected interactively from a graphical user interface.

rotatetext(objects) rotates the selected objects. objects may be a name string recognized by handlem, or a vector of handles to displayed text objects.

rotatetext(objects,'inverse') removes the rotation added by an earlier use of rotatetext. If omitted, 'forward' is assumed.

Examples

Add text to a map, and rotate the text to the graticule.

Remarks

Meridian and parallel labels can be rotated automatically by setting the map axes LabelRotation property to 'on'.
