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 ?

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
