Parameters

The x and y parameter refer to the top/left corner of the string to display. This is also the point around which the rotation will take place.

    If CreateImage(0, 200, 200) And StartDrawing(ImageOutput(0))
      Box(0, 0, 200, 200, RGB(255, 255, 255))
      For Angle = 0 To 360 Step 45
        DrawRotatedText(100, 100, "Hello World!", Angle, RGB(0, 0, 0))
      Next Angle
      StopDrawing()
