Hi,

I have tried this before in another scripting environment and if you intend to 
print the graph you may notice a difference in quality between the rendering of 
the text and the rendering of the image.

I don’t know of a solution to this.

The solution [which you will probably not like], is to export the snapshot the textfield and then rotate it in a dedicated image processing application such as GIMP and import
the result.

Obviously that is NBG if you are trying to do that in a standalone, or for end-users.

I should also point out that 'rotate' in Livecode gives extremely crappy results, while
'set the angle' is much better.

All the best

You can do all image capturing off-screen, in variables, and using template 
objects, so you should have no problem with any unwanted visual artifacts.

Of course, the problem will be that I don't want the screen to be jumping 
around while the text is being displayed, then rotated. I assume that the text 
field needs to appear on the screen for the snapshot to work. Hmm, I'll have to 
think about whether this is ok. Or, perhaps I can make some pre-defined labels 
that are generic enough and use them for the axis labels (just thinking aloud). 
That would work.
Best,
Bill
