    Rotate

    Important

    This package is deprecated. From Unity 2023.2, TextMesh Pro is part of the Unity UI (uGUI) package. For current documentation, refer to TextMesh Pro in the Unity UI package.

    Use the <rotate> tag to rotate each character about its center. Specify the amount of rotation in degrees. Positive values rotate characters counter-clockwise. Negative values rotate them clockwise.

    Rotation affects the spacing between characters, and may cause characters to overlap in some cases. Use the <cspace> tag to correct character spacing as needed.

    Example:

    Rotate text <rotate="-10">counter-clockwise</rotate> or <rotate="10">clockwise</rotate>
    


    Text rotated counter-clockwise (left) and clockwise (right)

    Rotate text <rotate="45">counter-clockwise</rotate>
    


    More rotation makes it more likely that characters overlap

    Rotate text <cspace="15"><rotate="45">counter-clockwise</rotate></cspace>
    


    The <cspace> tag adjusts character spacing, and can help correct overlap caused by rotation
