Errrrr, yeah. I know I said I wouldn't be messing with rotation, but it is a woman's right to change her mind, isn't it?
I would like to run some captions along the *left* edge of the page, and by looking at one of SBT's books in the MR library, I got the caption placement and rotation kind of figured out. But I'm not so sure if my twiddles on the image placement is the correct way to do this (it was all by trial and error, you see).
Code:
<div>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="-75 0 600 720" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<image height="720" width="500" xlink:href="../Images/001.jpg"/>
<g transform="translate(-50 360) rotate(90 0 0)">
<text style="font-style:italic;font-size:20pt" x="-80pt">"My Weird Caption"</text></g>
</svg>
</div>
So are the negative coordinates really the correct way to do this, or did I just stumble on something that happened to work out?
