    How to draw text at Line? How to calc direction for text placed on the line?

    I did DrawableOverrule instance and override WorldDraw method.
    In this method I have checked:


    public override bool WorldDraw(Drawable d, WorldDrawwd)
    {
      if (d isLine)
      {
          Line line = (Line)d;


    Next I want to draw text placed on the line and I did:

     

       wd.Geometry.Text(line.StartPoint, normal, direction

     

    Question is - how to calculate required direction for text that text should be placed on the line? Is it easy way to do it?

     

    Thanks!

    The Line.Delta property returns a vector along the direction of the line.
