Peskin) Newsgroups: comp.lang.smalltalk Subject: text as images Message-ID: Date: 4 Apr 91 22:23:12 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 18 Under PPS 2.5 we were able to rotate strings, because we could convert strings to Images. Does anyone know how this can be done under PPS Re. 4? It appears that Text is directly written to the display surface in the appropriate GraphicsContext (like it is in X). Any ideas on how to convert a String to an Image (short of a set of new primitives)? --dick peskin %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Richard L.
