[Request Feature] Rotation of words

[kakakhan2016]

Thanks for wonderful work. It would be nice if rotation of words feature can be added/coded. Is it possible?.

Hey @kakakhan.
It's currently not possible to control the rotation of words more directly. Allowing per-word control of whether the rotation is 90 degrees or 0 degrees would be easy, but adding other rotations would be a little bit more work. Pull request welcome.

Hey @amueller I can try working on this in my spare time if that is ok with you? (Don't know if you remember me but I am the guy who contributed the initial conda package)

[amueller]

@vaastav which part? Arbitrary rotations or controlling for 90 degree rotations? Feel free to try either.

Btw, more help with packaging might be even better ;) The conda package has some issues and I have no time to look into it right now. There are issues both with conda-forge and the conda channel you created, I think at least missing Python 3.6 support. (I just want to emphasize that this is in no way a criticism of your previous contribution, really just asking for help :)

I'll try the 90 degree rotation first and then see if I can go ahead with arbitrary rotations.

I am not sure why the Conda thing is being an issue but I'll definitely take a look at it.

thanks :)
