WWI: Rotate graphics from phrases on a template

[john_hermans]

Hello,

We are preparing a label layout (in WWI) that would require the graphic representation of symbols (T, F, Xi ...) to be printed rotated by 90 degrees.

Rotating text on a WWI-template is no problem, but the graphics keep coming out in the normal orientation.

We tried putting several variations of putting them in a textbox or a table-cell and then changing the orientation of the text in the textbox or table-cell, but nothing worked.

Do you know if/how we can print the graphics rotated?

Thanx.

Kind Regards,

John Hermans

Hello Christoph,

Thanx for your suggestions.

AFAIK OSS doesn't have anything on this topic indeed.

I got a suggestion from TechniData: create a new symbol method to pick up another graphic file based on the same phrase.

(Eg. Symbol_T.jpg is transformed by the method into Symbol_T_rot.jpg, and that file is picked up and used in the report).

We're looking into this.

Regards,

John

Hello John

in my opinion the suggestion of TechniData is a good solution regarding your topic and it will work so give it a try. Keep in mind that you need a good naming convention regarding file name so you can use one phrase with one graphic linked so the WWI process can select/find "on the fly" using the new method the rotated graphic file.

There is only one topic which you should keep in mind (I have missed to write this in my last reply but I assume you know the issue)

Depending on the SAP release you are using you have a local WWI installation on the client. The new graphic file retrieved by the method should be in place in the corresponding local directory so that the "report from templlate" process is supported. If you use release like ECC 6.0 Enh3 and higher you have the option to use a WWI server park to support the local WWI process and WWI and the graphic files need not to be distributed any more to the client but have to be installed on the WWI server park

With best regards and good succes in using the solution

Christoph
