Bravo Lin (even if I'm not David !!!)

Thanks Jean - I think it would make a nice opening, especially for a video presentation on YouTube, etc., where the extra 14 meg of the little video of Earth turning wouldn't be so noticeable as with an exe show. Maybe I can convert it to Flash and get the size down a bit without sacrificing the quality. I was finally able to capture a decent Earth rotation AVI from Celestia and it works well with David's code for the text.

Best regards,

Lin

Well done Lin,

Glad it was of help.

I have been doing exactly the same thing for U (the PTE text) but got caught up with other business today. Some guys your side of the pond have been highly inefficient in dealing with an order of mine.

Your application is spot on.

I would change two MINOR details:

I'm not a big fan of that type of font and would have used a Sans Serif font. You're the graphics guy - you know best about these things.

Secondly, the ball that we live on is incline at about 23.5 degrees (at the moment) which is the same angle as my text. I did it that way so that the text would circumnavigate the equator.

That apart, I'm really pleased with what you have done.
