effect to display it sideways. See below.

;original
img: to-image layout [
origin 0x0
space 0x0
H1 "hello there"
]
view center-face layout [image img]
; one way - make the face yourself
rot-face: center-face make face [
image: img
size: reverse img/size ; (width, height) -> (height, width)
edge: none
effect: [rotate 90]
]
view rot-face
; or another way - lay it out with layout
view center-face layout [
origin 0x0
image img reverse img/size effect [rotate 270]
]
