[DUG] FastReport Rotate 180 degree

[Cheng Wei (FMI)]

Thanks for your suggetions kyley. We end up having to render  
everything to an image and rotate it 180 degrees.

To maintain fine print quality we use Tmetafilecanvas instead of  
Tcanvas, which makes rotating much harder. But we got there at the end.

Cheers
Cheng
