Summary0001347: Set Label Orientation
DescriptionOption to set Label orientation for Greek letters, constellation names, etc.
Reason:
Some star maps need to be created in the landscape orientation and the labels are misaligned when doing so.
Steps To ReproduceCreate a star map that requires a landscape capture of the sky and labels, but the labels need to be oriented so that the up/down is on the horizontal plane in portrait view. Selecting a specific angle for the labels (Greek, names) would facilitate precision mapping.
TagsNo tags attached.

It is possible to add an option for the label orientation but I am not sure to understand why you need it.
To be sure to make it right can you upload here (in the "Upload file" section) a photoshoped map that show what you need?

Hi, I include a portrait capture with some Greek labels rotated by Photoshop. I am creating maps for historical research and to submit documentation I need to present detailed maps with Greek letters fully showing at the orientation desired. The portrait and landscape capture options place the Greek labels vertically, but for some drawings I need the map to stay in position as is to maintain an approximation of the correct perspective and number of stars that can be captured without distortion, but I need to adjust the orientation of Greek labels. The size can be controlled, but not the angle or distance from star center. Thanks.
