HI,

how i can use a other rotatingpoint (PIVOT) as use this

setrotate xx
drawtext "text",100,100

this will only rotate on the left/up point
?

Hi panno

you need to use the image handle commands to set the "pivot".

Panno, if you want to find the exact centre of your text string, use TextWidth & TextHeight:

Off the top of my head....

w = TextWidth("TESTY!")/2
h = TextHeight("TESTY!")/2

SetHandle w,h
SetRotation r
DrawText "TESTY!",320,240
