Hello, I am using MapBasic 5.0 and MapInfo 5.5. I have made an application that rotates all the text objects of a table. To do that, I use the Alter Object statement, like this: Alter Object TxtObj Geography OBJ_GEO_TEXTANGLE, RotAngle This works fine, except when the text angle is moved into or out of the 90-270 degrees sector. In these cases, the text is correctly rotated, but also moved in a quite unpredictable way. How do I rotate a text object without moving its starting point? I do not want to change the font(s). I thought I could get the original coordinates using the ObjectGeography() function before rotating, and then issue another Alter Object statement [ something like this: ALTER OBJECT TXTOBJ GEOGRAPHY OBJ_GEO_LINEBEGX, TXTX ] to reset the coordinates, but I can't figure out the attributes. The "LINEBEGX" doesn't seem right, but none of the others do, either. Do you have a hint, please...? And soon...? _______________________________________________ Jens Åge Nielsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bloms Oppmåling AS, Bergen Kanalveien 5 Tel.: +47 55596764 5059 Bergen, Norway Fax: +47 55596799 Website: http://www.blom.no/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
