               VAR textOriginX,textOriginY   :REAL;
               VAR textAng                   :REAL;
               VAR textIsMirrored            :BOOLEAN);

def vs.GetTextOrientation(theText):
    return (textOrigin, textAng, textIsMirrored)

Parameters

theText		HANDLE		Handle to text object.
textOrigin		REAL		Returns coordinates of text origin.
