Mr. MacArthur, if I recall well, as of R6 Xlib has necessary functions for drawing rotated text. X Logical Font Description was finally enhanced in that version and it allows embedding a transformation matrix in certain fields of an XLFD name. Those who use old R6 also have a solution: * Render text into a Pixmap. * Read it back via XGetImage(). * Rotate it "by hand". * Put it back to the server via XPutImage().
So, I think it is possible, yes. Ah yes, an alternative (but not a good one IMHO) is to use stroke-rendered font because it can be converted into XDrawLine() calls... :) _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
