I've been trying to load a background image from the NLS from within Templot. It all works as expected except for some reason i can't rotate the map using shift alt buttons with the mouse.If i go directly to the NLS website outside of Templot the rotate function works fine.

Am i doing something wrong or is the rotate function not available in Templot?

Regards
Ray.

Hi Ray,

The embedded browser in Templot is a version of Internet Explorer provided by Windows for embedding.

Templot has no control over the way it works. Unfortunately some of the NLS web functions don't work on there.

You have 2 options:

1. rotate the map in your usual browser and make your own screenshot. There is a function on the background shapes dialog at help > calculate size of a map screenshot menu item to obtain the required size for the picture shape.

or

2. make a screenshot using the embedded browser functions, then rotate the picture shape in Templot. Click the modify tab and the twist... button.

regards,

Martin.

Many thanks Martin.

The twist function worked a treat.

Ray.
