--- Comment #5 from Armin Le Grand <Ar...@me.com> ---
ALG: @Nicholas Moisan: Close to thjat. The current core does not use
transformations and indeed just 'flips' the outline. The text object and a
rectangle are the same objects, except that a single flag decides if it behaves
as a text frame or an object with text. When using a rectangle with no fill as
pseudo-textframe you can see what is possible: Flipping horizontal does
nothing, flipping vertical rotates 180 degrees.
It would be possible to allow the same for text frames, but does not lead much
further.
I am working on a branch (aw080) for quite some time to get the DrawingLayer to
use transformations; when this is done, it will be possible to flip text
frames, including completely mirrored texts, too.
Grepping as a reminder for aw080 and adapting text...
