We just recieved our copies of the new Showcase package today. I eagerly installed it on my PI and began to play. Only a few minutes into a simple pi chart I found to my dismay that Showcase doesn't rotate text objects. This seems like a rather serious shortcoming. What is so complicated about rotated text? Or am I reading the manual wrong? Greg Atchity Iowa State University atchity@tc2.chem.IaState.edU Ames Laboratory - USDOE atchity%qchem1@alISUvax.bitnet 310 Wilhelm Hall (515) 294-2582 Ames, IA 50011

Manual page 3-52 says (as you state) "Objects that won't rotate (text,images, and 3D viewers) have a square handle". I agree, what is so hard about rotating text? NB. This program looks great! -- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / Jeff Hanson \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / * ViSC: Better * tohanson@gonzo.lerc.nasa.gov * * * * * * / \ / \ Science / \ / \ NASA Lewis Research Center / \ / \ Through / \ / \ * * * * * * * Cleveland, Ohio 44135 * * * Pictures * * \ / \ / \ / \ Telephone - (216) 433-2284 Fax - (216) 433-2182 \ / \ / \ / *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Folks, How do I create 3D models so that I can use them in IRIS showcase? Which package should I use? Are there any public domain packages? Thilaka -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thilaka Sumanaweera
