Description

Dear Apache contributors,

Is there an efficient way to get the exact angle in radians or degrees of a TextPosition, not only the ranges (0, 90, 180, 270). Basically, what we have currently uses the following information.

 

float a = textMatrix.getScaleY();
float b = textMatrix.getShearY();
float c = textMatrix.getShearX();
float d = textMatrix.getScaleX();

Hagd, A.
