Circular text

rbuser

Has anyone ever used ReportBuilder to generate labels containing circular
text? I have had a request to generate a CD type label in which the client
wants all lines to be printed in a normal horizontal fashion except the
very last line which they want printed so that it lines up against the
circular bottom of the CD. This last line contains dynamic information from
a database so it would need to be updateable (in other words not a static
graphic). I can't think of an immediate way to do this but thought I would
ask anyway.

Thanks,
Steve Swarner

Hi Steve,

Currently there is no component to produce circular text in ReportBuilder.
You might try downloading and testing the TWPaintBox utility to perhaps draw
the text directly to the report canvas. Another option would be to create
the text as an image (wmf for best quality) and place the image on the
report where you need it. The TWPaintBox component can be found on our web
site in the friends | rcl section. http://www.digital-metaphors.com.

Thanks Nico. I'll give these other options a try.
