I've been playing with a Morphic implementation of "Joe the box" for an intro programming course. It shouldn't be hard, right? The problem is rotation. It's easy to rotate a polygon morph, but I can't get a TextMorph (for the name) to rotate and stay centered. My next attempt (attached), was to use a transformation morph. This almost works, except that when rotating from a non-manhattan orientation, smurfs get left on the display. The code is attached. I try doing this in a workspace: joe := NamedBoxMorph2 new. joe name: 'Fred'. joe openInWorld. joe color: Color lightBlue. joe turn: -45. joe turn: 45. Do the joe turn: +/- 45 a few times. Bits of the rectangle are left on the display. Is this a bug in morphic, or a bug in my code (more likely)? Is tehre an easy fix/ The critical method from the filein is this one, I think: BoxMorph2 >> initialize "initialize this BoxMorph so that it looks like a Box in BoxWorld" | rectangle b | super initialize. smoothing := 3. b := Rectangle origin: 85 @ 200 extent: 80 @ 80. rectangle := RectangleMorph new. rectangle bounds: b. rectangle color: Color transparent. rectangle borderWidth: 1. self addMorphCentered: rectangle. self bounds: b. I tired making the bounds of the boxMorph a pixel or two bigger (in the last line): this didn't help. Any ideas? Andrew
