The –rotate normal,inverted,left,right does not work, but you can use the transform option to achieve the same effect. To create the transformation matrix you can use something like: angrytools.com/css-generator/transform/
for translateXY enter half the screen resolution
don’t copy the generated code, it has the numbers in the wrong order just type out the matrix row wise.
Thanks for suggesting RNote, i always use Xournal++ to take notes, but there are some problems and RNote seems to work much nicer with gestures. The only thing that i am missing is an option for saving pen configuration to easily switch between a black pen and a yellow marker.
