I've been able to implement single line scrollingLabel(https://developer.roku.com/docs/references/scenegraph/typographic-nodes/scrollinglabel.md) in horizontal direction, is there any way to have a scrollingLabel in vertical direction?

I know of the scrollableText(https://developer.roku.com/docs/references/scenegraph/typographic-nodes/scrollabletext.md) but i want the label to scroll automatically rather then a user voluntarily scrolling it.

UseCase: Show some description text that be as short as 3 sentences to as long as 10.

Thanks in advance

The rotation attribute. Technically it will be vertical. But you will have to turn your TV 90 degrees to read it.

I do not think there is a vertical scrolling behavior for labels because technically they are 1 line. The fact they can have multiple lines and span them is wrapping. The fact you can put chr(10) in there and simulate a new line is just simulating.

You could probably use animation to show your text as you move it behind a clippingRect but you would technically be bounce. Move slowly to top then to bottom then back to top (rinse and repeat forever) and do it all behind a clippingRect. That would be the only way to do it and you would have to write it yourself. It wouldn't be that hard to do.

Hey, thank you so much for your reply, I think i get the gist of what you're saying.....I still haven't implemented any custom UI node from scratch, but i'll give it a shot. 🙂
