-
- Rotator is a shareware vector font text effects program written by Simon
- Coward that can produce angled, rotated, arched, sine wave and circular
- text effects. It requires either SpeedoGDOS or NVDI version 3 or later.
-
- It's come on in leaps and bounds in the last few versions and now supports
- layers and multiple loop functions that make it easier to create 3D
- effects and shadowed or exploding text.
-
- The program has menu options to select the effect type, the various
- settings for each type, which font and point size to use, the zoom setting
- for displaying the text and how many layers there are and their
- relationships to each other. (See screen shot).
-
- Rotator stores each text entry along with it's settings in a file with a
- .ROT extension.
-
- It would be useful to be able to type in more than one line of text and
- also if more effect types could be supported as in Wordperfect on the PC.
-
- Registration is only £5 and enables the option to save non-normal text as
- IMG files for direct import into DTP programs. Given that the program is
- still being developed, I would encourage anyone who could find a use for
- this program to give the author support and register it straight away.
