How to modify the display orientation
1. GPIO interface type LCD rotating display method:
Suitable for GPIO interface type LCD (2.4” 2.8”3.2” 3.5”).
Run command at Terminal:
sudonano /boot/config.txt
if you are using 2.4”, 2.8”or 3.2”, then find line “dtoverlay=tft9341”and add
rotate parameter value as format following：
dtoverlay=tft9341:rotate=value
if it is LCD 3.5”, then find line “dtoverlay=tft35a” and add rotate parameter value as
format following：
dtoverlay=tft35a:rotate=value
Take LCD 3.5”as example:
To rotate 0 degrees (vertical screen display), the corresponding parameter value:
dtoverlay=tft35a:rotate=0
To rotate 90degrees (horizontal screen display), the corresponding parameter
value:
dtoverlay=tft35a:rotate=90
To rotate 180degrees (vertical screen display), the corresponding parameter value:
dtoverlay=tft35a:rotate=180
To rotate 270degrees (horizontal screen display), the corresponding parameter
value:
dtoverlay=tft35a:rotate=270
Press Ctrl + X, choose Y, save and exit; and re-start to achieve..

2, HDMI Interface type LCD rotating display method:
Suitable for HDMI Interface type LCD (such as a 3.97”, 4.3”, 5”, 7” versoion B, 7” version C, 10.1”)
Run command at Terminal:
sudonano /boot/config.txt
Find "display rotate" parameter; if not have it, then add it.
Meanings of the parameters for display_rotate show as in the table
below
display_rotate result
0 no rotation
1 rotate 90 degrees clockwise
2 rotate 180 degrees clockwise
3 rotate 270 degrees clockwise
0x10000 horizontal flip
0x20000 vertical flip
To rotate 0 degrees, the corresponding parameter value:
display_rotate=0
To rotate 90 degrees, the corresponding parameter value:
display_rotate=1
To rotate 180 degrees, the corresponding parameter value:
display_rotate=2
To rotate 270 degrees, the corresponding parameter value:
display_rotate=3
To flip the display horizontally, the corresponding parameter value:
display_rotate=0x10000
To flip the display vertically, the corresponding parameter value:
display_rotate=0x20000
Press the key Ctrl + X, choose Y, save and exit.

3, modify the touch parameters
After display direction changes, still need to do the touch settings by modifying the
“99-calibration.conf” file. Execute command:
sudonano/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
Take 5”HDMI LCD as example:
The default parameter is 0 degrees, that is “display_rotate = 0”, correspondingly
the touch calibration parameters are:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "ADS7846 Touchscreen"
Option "Calibration" "140 3951261 3998 "
Option "SwapAxes" "0"
EndSection
To rotate the display 90degrees, that is “display_rotate = 1”, the touch parameters
should be revised correspondingly as follows:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "ADS7846 Touchscreen"
Option "Calibration" "2613998 3951 140"
Option "SwapAxes" "1"
EndSection

To rotate the display 180degrees, that is “display_rotate = 2”, the touch
parameters should be revised correspondingly as follows:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "ADS7846 Touchscreen"
Option "Calibration" "3951140 3998261"
Option "SwapAxes" "0"
EndSection
To rotate the display 270degrees, that is “display_rotate = 3”, the touch
parameters should be revised correspondingly as follows:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "ADS7846 Touchscreen"
Option "Calibration" "3998261 1403951"
Option "SwapAxes" "1"
EndSection/
After the modification, re-start to see the effect of the
modification
sudo reboot
