certain usecases (like side or ceiling mounted huds and vertical monitors) require the use of rotated displays or huds. as the text and textbox functions do not support rotation it is effectively impossible to display text on such displays. to me, the most effective solution to this would be to add a "rotation" property to displays and huds as this would work well with scripts with multiple displays (of different rotations) and eliminate the need to add rotation properties to several LUA functions.
