Hi,
I'm new to PB having migrated from Blitz+ and am finding the language to be superior in every way, however I would like to see the following two items added:
1) The ability to print text vertically.
2) A function to paste bitmap images within menus.
thanks for looking

For number one take a look here
viewtopic.php?t=12181&highlight=printing
And for number two try this
http://www.purearea.net/pb/CodeArchiv/M ... or+Icon.pb (although it is for putting icons in menus, not bitmaps)

Thanks for the welcome guys
Thanks for the info GreenGiant, the icon info is what I had in mind but with the ability to display a bitmap image vertically down the side of a menu like EmuLoader does.
I was going to use sprites so I could rotate the text for display on a vertical arcade monitor, but I thought it would be nice if PB supported this feature as it would use less memory than my own routines. The other advantage would be I wouldn't have to spend my time drawing fonts.
