Vertical text growth (specifically in Pitbull4)
I've tried googling, I've searched the dogtext and I've tried possibly every single option there is in Pitbull4, but to no avail. Frankly, I'm starting to think it's not possible, which would suck. I'm no lua expert, not by a mile.
What I want to achieve is this: vertical text growth (rather than the typical horizontal): 8 0 N I G H T E L F D R U I D Anyone have any ideas? |
Last I checked, asked, and begged for this myself, I was told it isn't available (possible).
If it truly isn't possible, has anyone ever added it to the Wish list to Blizzard? |
Simple:
Code:
local function vertical(s) |
Code:
local string = "test" |

EDIT: Yours doesn't seem to work. |
Except that the above solution is a horrible hack which will break on multi-byte letters. That being said, the underlying library which blizzard uses for fonts in WoW does support vertical text. We don't have access to this however, as the WoW engine most likely doesn't implement it.
We could of course just do: lua Code:
edit: damn drycoding, fixed the syntax error. |

Your 'solution' works occasionally on some instances, but it isn't a true working code. On unitframe elements I found using a hack to be less than desirable because of how frequently it breaks.
I've looked through the wishlist previously, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know if this has been answered by Blizz, or even asked for? |

Switching from Pitbull4 to oUF is something I'm willing to do to make this work -- though at first glance the intense Lua editing for a layout scared me away. I've a more or less clearcut image in my head how I want my unitframes to look like (Photoshop wins sometimes :>), and at this point Pitbull4 won't let me accomplish that (vertical text being only one of them). |
