Can somebody tell me how to draw Text with a rotation? Or is there a way to CopyBits with a rotation? Simplest of all, how is Text drawn vertically? ==Chaoping

The Toolbox provides no way to do this. You have to draw the text in normal orientation in an offscreen bitmap, then rotate the image into another offscreen bitmap by doing tiresome bit manipulations. A good graphics text should give you an algorithm or two, especially for the 90-degree rotations. The hard part is to make the rotation fast. David Casseres
