Dear members,

a colleague asked me about the orientation of text in the Text class.
It is obvious that the "LineOrientation" and "StartCorner" attributes
are to be used in combination.

Is the following table of assumed text rendering directions correct:

LineOrientation| |
-------------+ | Horizontal | Vertical
StartCorner \| |
---------------+----------------------------+----------------------------
upper-left | left,top -> right,bottom | left,top -> bottom,right
lower-left | left,bottom -> right, top | left,bottom -> top, right
upper-right | right, top -> left, bottom | right,top -> bottom, left
lower-right | right, bottom -> left, top | right, bottom -> top, left

If yes, is this somewhere stated or do I just remember it from one of
the meetings?
Do we need a clarification here?

Andreas
