Adding Mirrored Text

pc.wd

<p>Hi all,</p><p> </p><p>Does anyone know of a way to generate flipped text (bob ---> dod)? I'm using BIRT 3.2.32 and can't use plugins like Batik.  I've tried coercing the example from here: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://developer.actuate.com/community/devshare/_/designing-birt-reports/1325-adding-dynamic-svg-graphics'>http://developer.actuate.com/community/devshare/_/designing-birt-reports/1325-adding-dynamic-svg-graphics</a>, but it hasn't yielded any useable results.  I've also tried coercing a chart to flip the text, but that fails as well.  However, that's hopefully due to ineptitude, rather than impossibility. </p><p> </p><p>Loading a static SVG file is out of the question as well - the SVG needs to be generated from names in a data source.  Using a mirrored font is the last resort and not preferable.</p><p> </p><p>Thanks for any help!</p><p> </p>

<p>Wow. That's a new one.  One thought you might consider would be to find a text font that is letters in their mirror image.  Then all you have to do is reverse the characters in the string and render it using that font.</p><p> </p><p>Have a look at this  <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.fontpalace.com/font-download/MirrorImage/'>http://www.fontpalace.com/font-download/MirrorImage/</a></p><p> </p><p>Good luck.</p>
