Rotated Text?

[Scott Rossi]

You can do all image capturing off-screen, in variables, and using template objects, so you should have no problem with any unwanted visual artifacts.

I assume that the text field needs to appear on the screen for the snapshot to work. Hmm, I'll have to think about whether this is ok. Or, perhaps I can make some pre-defined labels that are generic enough and use them for the axis labels (just thinking aloud). That would work.
