Page orientation

As a pivot function is defined as the possibility of the display can be rotated for 90 °, but the content then back to the original orientation ( horizontal text ) is displayed. For this, a program is required, which rotates the screen and thereby the change in the height and width take into account. In recent graphics drivers that this feature is already included in the rule, which then makes additional software.

Thus, a better representation and readability of high-format text and pages is achieved (eg DIN A4 pages in its original size).
