Hi adepters,

how to rotate some cgm graphics for pdf output in editor 6?

Thanks for your advices.

If you are using FOSI and if graphic entities are used in the document, the graphic can be suppressed and the graphic entity name can be fillvalled into a Putgraph category that has the desired rotation.Note that the graphic entity and notation do not have to be declared in the FOSI.
For example:<e-i-c gi="graphic"><charlist inherit="1"></charlist><att><specval attname="print-only" attloc="system-var" attval="yes"><charsubset charsubsetref="SUPPRESS"></charsubset></att><att><specval attname="print-only" attloc="system-var" attval="yes"><fillval attname="entityref" fillcat="putgraph" fillchar="graphname"><charsubset><putgraph rotation="90"><subchars>...</subchars></putgraph></charsubset></att></e-i-c>Good luck!

I've tried it, but illustrations don't rotate. I don't know, where I've done mistake.

<xs:element name="graphic" type="graphicElemType"/">

<xs:element maxoccurs="unbounded" minoccurs="0" ref="hotspot"/">

<xs:attribute ref="applicRefId"/">

I assumed rotation would work because scaling works. But when I tried it now, the graphic did not rotate. That seems like a bug to me, and I would encourage you to report it.
In the meantime, I found a way to make it work.In addition to setting the rotation characteristic on Putgraph, set scalefit to 1 and specify width as the column width. For example:

<att><specval attname="print-only" attloc="system-var" attval="yes"/"><fillval attname="entityref" attloc="graphic" fillcat="putgraph"fillchar="graphname"/"><charsubset charsubsetref="SUPPRESS"><putgraph width="37pi" scalefit="1" rotation="180"></putgraph></charsubset></att>

That worked for me in 6.0.
Good luck!Suzanne

Thank you very much Suzanne.

It's OK.
