This useful feature is not documented, though. 2) About what point does the quad rotate? It seems to rotate about the upper left corner of the viewport (intentional?).

When it's placed elsewhere, the rotation is offset: Code: #include <acknex.h> void main() { while (1) { wait(1); draw_quad(NULL, vector(200, 200, 0), NULL, vector(128, 128, 0), NULL, COLOR_RED, 100, total_ticks); } } Last edited by Myrkling; 06/04/11 13:17.
