I am trying to create EPSF Files from my App. When I rotate text I use an offscreen bitmap to do the rotation. When I try to create the PICT I get rubbish. I have tried using BitMapToRegion, but have problems with the ~@k limit, and the PICT is black an white. Is there a way of including offscreen rotation within the OpenPicture/ClosePicture sequence, or is there a way of suspending the drawing to the picture to do the offscreen stuff, and then continuing? Thanks Douglas
