finding the rotation?

[juworld]

I am trying to find rotation to an element object. I found rotation attributes for text object but it only returns true or false. Is there any way I can find the numeric representation of rotation?

Thanks in advance

i would imagine its in the matrix object associated with that shape

Hey, thanks for replying!

I've been looking into the text object and I can't figure out how to get the Matrix Object from the Text Object.

Please advise,

Thanks,

Justin

K, i figured it out!

I guess text object is also an element object. So you can get the matrix by simply calling textObj.matrix.

Once you got the matrix, you can figure out the rotation.

var rotationInDegree = (Math.acos(mat.a) * 180 / Math.PI)
