clabel and rotation

Hi, would it be possible to add a keyword to clabel to optionally switch off the angle fix in contour.py lines 384+?

Fix angle so text is never upside-down

    if rotation > 90:
        rotation = rotation - 180.0
    if rotation < -90:
        rotation = 180.0 + rotation

Something like “clabel(CS, upsidedown=True)” with the default as False would do it.

I am using clabel to put directional arrows on a streamline contour plot, and this rotation causes some of the arrows to point the wrong way. So it seems it would be a useful feature. I’m willing to try to do it myself if somebody could tell me which files I would need to edit in addition to contour.py?

Many thanks,

Evan
