rotateElement

Element functions can be customized with set and show rules.

Rotates content without affecting layout.

Rotates an element by a given angle. The layout will act as if the element was not rotated unless you specify reflow: true.

Example

#stack(
  dir: ltr,
  spacing: 1fr,
  ..range(16)
    .map(i => rotate(24deg * i)[X]),
)

Parameters

Parameters are the inputs to a function. They are specified in parentheses after the function name.

angle

angle

Positional

Positional parameters are specified in order, without names.

Settable

Settable parameters can be customized for all following uses of the function with a set rule.

The amount of rotation.

View example

#rotate(-1.571rad)[Space!]

Default: 0deg

origin

alignment

Settable

Settable parameters can be customized for all following uses of the function with a set rule.

The origin of the rotation.

If, for instance, you wanted the bottom left corner of the rotated element to stay aligned with the baseline, you would set it to bottom + left instead.

View example

#set text(spacing: 8pt)
#let square = square.with(width: 8pt)

#box(square())
#box(rotate(30deg, origin: center, square()))
#box(rotate(30deg, origin: top + left, square()))
#box(rotate(30deg, origin: bottom + right, square()))

Default: center + horizon

reflow

bool

Settable

Settable parameters can be customized for all following uses of the function with a set rule.

Whether the rotation impacts the layout.

If set to false, the rotated content will retain the bounding box of the original content. If set to true, the bounding box will take the rotation of the content into account and adjust the layout accordingly.

Hello #rotate(90deg, reflow: true)[World]!

Default: false

body

content

Required Positional
