Hi, This morning I used \rotate to correct some slightly sloped graphics and noticed a weird behavior. In case of the rotation angle interval (-1,0) the negative sign is simply ignored, so the rotation goes to the opposite direction. Donno if negative values for the rotation angle are allowed (they normally work). But it's easier to handle it this way (sign for direction of rotation). @Wolfgang: as workaround, only use positive values or add -360 ;) (and sorry for my wrong interpretation of your table mail) @Taco: are you still collecting the ConTeXt bugs? Best wishes, Peter \setuplayout[grid=yes] \starttext \showgrid \def\Foobar{\blackrule[width=\textwidth,height=0.5\lineheight]} \framed{\rotate[rotation=-0.5]{\Foobar}} % -0.x is not working (sign is ignored) \snaptogrid\hbox\bgroup \framed{\rotate[rotation=359.5]{\Foobar}} % ok \egroup \snaptogrid\hbox\bgroup \framed{\rotate[rotation=0.5]{\Foobar}} % ok \egroup \snaptogrid\hbox\bgroup \framed{\rotate[rotation=-359.5]{\Foobar}} % ok \egroup \stoptext

Right now not really, I have no time. That does not mean that people cannot add bugs at the tracker themselves, though: http://foundry.supelec.fr/tracker/?atid=161&group_id=21&func=browse Best wishes, Taco

Thanks Hans, patch works fine. Also we have another 'brrr' (\realnumber) in the source :D Peter
