Beyond the Basics Relation between coordinates and rotation for text

    Hello,

    Scripting a bit in python for a laser cut machine, there are some things I don't understand on what are coordinates of a text rotation.

    On the attached file (unit is mm), at coordinates (0, 0), (20, 20), (40, 40), (60, 60), (80, 80), (100, 100),  i drawn a circle, a cross and a text. Bigger the coordinates, bigger the shift with the supposed origin of the text.

    Has anybody an explanation I could understand? Because I can understand just enough of the generated xml code to try a few things.

    Regards,

    Pfeuh

    The section "Transforms with the XML Editor" in the manual has links to more in-depth info.
