Reply #3 - Dec 28th, 2009, 9:01am   that would have been my suggesten if you want to mirror it if you just want to turn it... do it like this : Code: void setup() { size(200, 200); textFont(createFont("Arial", 25)); } void draw() { translate(width/2,height/2); pushMatrix(); rotate(PI); text("Test", 0,0); popMatrix(); }
