   automation.SelectNone();
   // see if we can flip? (should say no)
   if(!automation.CanFlip)
      MessageBox.Show("Cannot flip objects because no objects are selected");

   // add a text object and select it
   AnnTextObject text = new AnnTextObject();
   text.Font = new AnnFont("Arial", new AnnLength(20, AnnUnit.Point), FontStyle.Bold);
   text.TextColor = Color.Red;
   text.Text = "Flip Me!";
   text.Bounds = new AnnRectangle(100, 100, 200, 200, AnnUnit.Pixel);
   automation.Container.Objects.Add(text);
   automation.StartEditing(text, false);

   // flip this object vertically
   MessageBox.Show("Now we are going to flip this text vertically");
   if(automation.CanFlip)
      automation.Flip(false);

   // flip this object horizontally (reverse)
   MessageBox.Show("Now we are going to flip this text horizontally (reverse it)");
   if(automation.CanFlip)
      automation.Flip(true);
}

Remarks

AnnAutomation can flip one or more AnnObject if they are currently in edit mode (selected) and these objects are not locked.

If objects are grouped together the group is flipped as a unit.

Call the CanFlip property to determine whether you can call this method.
