I am in the process of moving a GKS based graphics toolbox over to X
using only Xlib. There haven't been many problems until trying to make
similar text routines. I cannot find a way (relativly simple) to display
text vertically. Does anyone have any ideas/ tricks that may enable me
to do this. Is there anyway to rotate text using Xlib ? How about
a rotated font ?
Thanks,
Dave

This is another one of the "Most Frequently Asked Questions". The answer is "sort of". One method is to draw each character on a separate line. Another method is to draw into a bitmap and then rotate the bitmap using XImages. -- Eric Taylor Baylor College of Medicine etaylor@wilkins.bcm.tmc.edu (713) 798-3776
