How to make your text for in any direction besides across?

[Illnab1024]

There is no way to do this right now (I believe this is object-oriented text?). The only thing to do with text as of now is write.

Well, after you've drawn the text you can use the selection and move tools to get it in a different orientation. But that won't let you, for instance, write text that follows a path, like if you wanted to wrap text around a circle or something. That's pretty advanced stuff to implement!
