What might be more efficient is constructing 2 bitmaps, one vertical and one horizontal, at the height/width of the screen, caching them, and rendering them at different offsets to achieve the rotating effect. They should not occupy much memory because they would be only a couple of pixels wide or high. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
