Request: Vertical Text

[graham.ferguson9]

Hi
Working on a profile that will use vertical elements.

Rather than build my text like this by adding individual characters and rotating each one:

R
A
M

Is it possible to rotate the entire word to flow vertically?

Also, for sensors using text output ie ram usage 24 Gb - how difficult would it be to make the text/numeric values follow a similar pattern?
Final question - is it possible to add a drop shadow or bloom?

Screenshot to illustrate the concept I'm working on below which might make sense of the request! Also I've got an idea for making a cityscape like Night City or LA from Blade Runner, using the billboards and buildings to display values, some of which will likely need to be vertical.

If these things are an absolute pain to add then I can probably do a lot of it as part of the background, though that won't allow for customization. That said, no idea if my weird ideas are any good anyway, just having fun exploring.

Hey, sorry about the late reply.

for vertical text, just add in the "manual styling" option

Code: Select all

writing-mode:vertical-lr;text-orientation:upright;


that will make the text go vertical as in the picture.

and to generate a shadow to the text, generate an effect here

and also add it to the code above

I'll give that a try, cheers for the help!

Text is going to be too small with this layout.

I'll maybe try doing just "Matrix rain" zoomed in a bit.

Still not convinced this one is easily realised.

WIP:

Layout is not as squashed on the device, but the stats might not stand out enough.
