[Sugar-devel] prevent screen rotation in a sugar activity?

[Erik Blankinship]

Thank you for these suggestions.

It is sometimes a designer's prerogative to present their work in one
format.  Numerous examples are available on the iPhone and android markets.

Is it possible to override or be notified of a rotation signal?  Or is the
answer to really remap the display and input into my software, which seems
unfortunately complex.

"*The following software has been modified from its original version. It has
been formatted to fit this screen."*
