Create mirror-reflected text.
Run the code to make text large. Try different texts or different sizes:
This is a text string. You can run it like any other code. The output doesn’t have quotes, but it’s a string too:
Use Style to change the styling of the text. This changes the size to 40 points (a “point” is a unit used by printers, equal to 1/72 inch):
Turn the text into an image, then reflect it. Try directions other than LeftRight—for example, TopBottom:
When you run this code, the output is text. You can tell it’s text because you can select parts of it by dragging:
This output looks like text, but it’s actually an image—a picture of the text. You can tell it’s an image because when you click it, you get an orange frame. Rasterize turns text (and other things) into images:
If you click the image and drag one of the handles to make it bigger, you can see the individual pixels:
Once you’ve turned text into an image, you can apply image operations to it. This reflects the text to turn it into mirror-writing:
Change the font family. Try other font families—for example, "Arial" or "Impact":
Write text in different fonts by specifying the font family:
Here’s the same text in a different font:
Share It—make a website that mirrors text you type in:
Deploy a form that asks for some text and then displays it mirrored:
Click the link in the output to visit the site.
Tell the world about your creation by sharing the link via email, tweet or other message.
