Is there any way to rotate a field, label, ? Thanx Regards AurÈlien AurElien, This may be overkill, but Turtle Graphics is one option. If your text variable is tMessage then in TG you would use something like: on mouseUP put This is a vertical line into tMessage put the number of chars in tMessage into tNum put -100,100 into startHere -- Your choice put 12 into charSeparation -- Your choice startTurtle penUp setHeading -90 setXY startHere repeat with i = 1 to tNum forward charSeparation label char i of tMessage end repeat end mouseUP Or, for something more interesting, to write the message along a semi-circular path: on mouseUP put This is a semi-circle into tMessage put the number of chars in tMessage into tNum put 150 into R startTurtle setHeading -90 penUp repeat with i = 1 to tNum forward pi*R/tNum -- Spaces characters evenly on the semi-circle left 180/tNum -- Takes a semi-circular path label char i of tMessage end repeat end mouseUP You can find TG on the RR web site at: http://downloads.runrev.com/stacks_apps/ Jim ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

No. Your only option might be to render the text as a bitmap and then rotate it.

RE: Displaying vertical text
You can also make a singe column field with a letter per line L I K E T H I S Va Ri At Io Ns Are also possible but cost more... ;) You can even parse multicolumns like these using the tabstops to title thin columns in a table... Playing with the textsize prop can also give you better look. Diagonal text anyone? OK, im on a roll... Type your text in a field, format it, snapshot it, insert in image, then rotate... It's scriptable too! Example script: left as an exercise! ;) Cheers VaXieR -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Rossi Sent: Friday, November 05, 2004 20:13 To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: Displaying vertical text Recently, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I need to display a text verticaly, this text cannot be an image as it comes from a variable.

Re: Displaying vertical text
You *can* rotate an Image, correct? So why not take a snapshot of the horizontal field, place the snapshot in an image, and rotate that?
