- Suppose I wish to draw labeled cubes (similar to wooden blocks
- with letters on their sides) and have them rotate all over the place.
-
- I know how to rotate things around, but am having a hard time
- with the letters. I could figure out the coordinates of the
- vertices of these letters and draw them each time - but this
- leads to ugly results.
-
- Has anyone written code to do someting similar, say with the
- fm calls? Is it as tedious as I think it will be? Any sample
- code out there?
-
- Thanks in advance. Posting a reply or replying by e-mail
- are both acceptable...
