Reverse a glyph?

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Rotating a letter

Given any printable glyph, is there some way to reverse it along the vertical (or any other) axis? So that, for instance, a sans-serif d would appear something like a b? (But for more complex glyphs than that.)

Answer 1

The two methods above are right and just to add using \scalebox{<h-scale>}[<v-scale>]{<text>} from the same graphicx package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
d \scalebox{-1}[1]{d}

c \scalebox{-1}[1]{c}
\end{document}

This yields:

Using TikZ:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
text \tikz[baseline=(char.base)]  \node[rotate=-180,xscale=1,yscale=-1] (char) {text};
\end{document}

This is not robust but still does the trick.

Answer 2

This can be done with reflectbox command of graphicx package.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
d \reflectbox{d}

e \reflectbox{e}
\end{document}

Answer 3

You can use \reflectbox from the graphicx package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\reflectbox{ABC}
\end{document}

Answer 4

Just for fun.

\documentclass[border=2pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}
d \psscalebox{-1 1}{d}

e \psscalebox{-1 1}{e}
\end{document}
