Hi Rich:

>My Report Engine will rotate the text to any angle that you need and when it rotates the text in both my Report Preview, Printed Output or a PDF Document it does so by actually rotating the Font and painting the font at the rotated angle. Therefore, the same font smoothing is done as normal text and so there aren't any jagged bitmaps. You can't see the rotated text in the Report Designer yet until I get my Report Designer Tool completed. But, if you run the DemoIt() Method of my Mind's Eye Report Engine you will see the rotated Text. Also, my PDF Output engine is about 5 to 10 times faster in speed than the Adobe PDF Writer once the report has been loaded into my control.

Can you specify mutiple rotated text string(s) in a square or rectangular area so that the excess string does not show outside of the "box". In otherwords, create a background text effect in a box (or over the whole page) with mutiple rotated text strings?
