ensure text is not upside down

i have a line and i have the angle of the line and i have a coordinate (a endpoint of the line).

i want to put text on the line at the rotation of the line. but i want the text not upside down.

how to i ascertain that the angle and line direction is going to make the text upside down.

I used AngleFromXAxis to get the current angle of the line...)

 

I would check the angle to see if it is grater that 180 if so then the text
will be "reversed" so switch the end points.

From 271 to 90 degrees, line angle should be fine so text should be written
from start point using angle from start point to end point)
From 91 to 270, text will be upside down so text should be written from end
point using angle from end point to start point

 

Yes, I realised this last night. So I added in this check:

If dRotAsDeg > 90# And dRotAsDeg <= 270# Then

Although I had < 270.

To rotate the text, I did this:

' Get location of text
Call .GetBoundingBox(min, max)
' Calculate center point
center(0) = min(0) + ((max(0) - min(0)) / 2#)
center(1) = min(1) + ((max(1) - min(1)) / 2#)
center(2) = objCoord(2)
' Rotate it round by 180 degrees
Call .Rotate(center, Deg2Rad(180#))

Is that the best or efficient way?
