Subject: Physically Rotate Text
Date: Tue, 09 Sep 2014 09:28:27 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87oauohqis.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)

If this weren't emacs, I wouldn't be surprised not to have a physical rotate function. 

Here's what I'm looking for: the ability to change a block from a horizontal to a vertical layout of text. This would be part of emacs super ASCII non-graphical powers, so that if I'm modelling a bar chart, I can convert it to a column chart:

XXX
XXXXXXX
XXXXX
XXXXXXXXX

becomes:

   X
   X
 X X
 X X
 XXX
 XXX
XXXX
XXXX
XXXX

Any ideas?
