Possible to rotate a wx.Frame?

wxPython Users

I have a wx.Frame, and its being displayed on a rotated monitor, so I need to rotate it 90 degrees.

Is that possible? I’m not seeing any rotation options in the documentation.

Can anyone think of a way to achieve this?

Thanks for any help.

Use the video driver to rotate your display.

Alas not possible / practical for this installation.

It’s an unusual request. Usually, when you have a rotated frame
buffer, the driver is involved in the rotation, so it rotates the
windows along with the desktop. If you’re trying to display a
window on a monitor that has been rotated without the knowledge or
involvement of the graphics card, then there’s really no help
available. You’re going to need to render yourself into an
in-memory bitmap (maybe using BufferedPaintDC?), then rotate the
bitmap and display it. You’ll also have to pre-process all of your
mouse clicks.
