Rotatable fields?

[Ken Ray]

Try this:

It takes a snapshot of a field on the card, makes an image out of it and
rotates it:

on mouseUp
  import snapshot from rect (the rect of fld 1) of window (the windowID of
this stack)
  put the short id of the last image of this cd into tID
  select image id tID
  rotate image id tID by 90
  choose browse tool
end mouseUp

You can then hide the original field and move the new image into place. One
note is that the bounding rectangle of the resulting image is as tall as it
is wide due to the rotation.
