I'm looking forward to this feature. I have an which displays moving text. It would be great if a user could decide if she wants the text displayed in portrait or landscape regardless of phone orientation and if that orientation is locked or not.

So they need a way to tell MIR, the orientation they want for drawing themselves. This can be portrait for some, landscape for others, or even combinations. Without this feature, portrait application get distorted when running in a landscape oriented device. So, it would be nice to have an API, in MIR client, to precisely lock the orientation of the MirSurface used for drawing. My use case is a full-screen game, that require always Portrait Orientation. Another is a full-screen game that requires always Landscape. Better (future): - allow this even for non full-screen applications - allow combination like Portait+PortraitUpsideDown, or LandscapeLeft+LandscapeRight - allow to change the orientation when the application run (so not only when creating/requesting the surface). Remarks : - touch event may need to be translated into the correct coordinates system!
