Can QPainter.drawText rotate text ?

Gilboonet

I'm exporting the output of my application to a svg file using QSvgGenerator and QPainter. It goes well for the lines and paths, but I also need to output rotated text and I didn't find anything that allow me do to that.
Here is what I managed to do...

For the text output my application uses QGraphicsSimpleTextItem and setRotation() on it, and painter.drawText(). Is it possible to create a svg file having text tags with rotation transform or do I need to do that by myself ?

@TomZ Thank you, I follow the order you mentioned and it works fine.

if (doSVG) {
    painter.setFont(fNum);
    painter.setPen(pNum);
    painter.save();
    painter.translate(c.toPointF()+ b.toPointF() +tit->pos());
    painter.rotate(radToDeg(ra));
    painter.drawText(- ti->boundingRect().width()/2, -2, QString::number(n));
    painter.restore();
}

@Gilboonet Apparently I need to use

painter.save();
painter.drawText(0,0, string);
painter.rotate();
painter.translate(x, y);
painter.restore();

@Gilboonet yes, that is indeed the way to do it. Except that you should likely put the rotate and translate before the drawText
