Hi all, in the spirit of Mathematic 6 here is another look at the
example using Manipulate:
Manipulate[
Graphics[Table[
GeometricTransformation[Style[Text[char], size],
RotationTransform[a, {0, 1}]], {a, Pi/5 Range[10]}],
ImageSize -> 180], {size, {50, 75, 100, 125}}, {char,
CharacterRange["A", "Z"]}]
Bye, Mariusz
