Graphical and Rotated Text

ASP.NET and Windows Forms Versions

The Problem:

Visual Studio.NET does not have a visual method of creating graphical or rotated text consisting of gradients, textures, or hatch patterns. Code solutions are fairly difficult to implement. In both Windows and ASP.NET applications, developers typically either stick with plain old solid text or make their text external graphics. These graphic files must be recreated frequently. Changing text dynamically is then next to impossible.

The Solution:

Gain full power over your text with the Graphical Text control. Rotate it; apply gradients and other fills to it; stretch it vertically or horizontally; even allow word wrap on your graphical text. Change text instantaneously. Better yet, do this in either your ASP.NET or Windows applications. In ASP.NET, you can choose to have your graphical text stored as an external file or streamed right to the browser! And when you use external files, you get lots of options as to when to rewrite the image file. In Windows, your text can be completely cut out (providing full transparency to the background and other objects behind it).

The Uses:

Graphical Text is for those developers who want more than just plain horizontal or vertical text without the hassle of creating separate graphic files for each image. Imagine asking for the user's name on the first page and then displaying that name graphically throughout the rest of the application. You can even databind to Graphical Text! Set all of its properties very easily with its built-in Designer.

  • I for one have greatly benefited from your TBK Tracker and Tracker.Net products. Thank you.
  • We use Tracker.Net for our web-based e-Learning system and TBK Tracker for our LAN-based systems, both from Platte Canyon of Colorado Springs, CO. Both of these systems were out of the box solutions and required our IT department to partner with our training department on adapting the system to our infrastructure. But the LMS has been easy to use, is very stable, and delivers many features of other systems that require heavy front-end engineering work and require on-going seat licenses, neither of which were required by the Platte Canyon solutions. I can strongly recommend their products for an inexpensive off the shelf solution for LMS in both the web-based and LAN configurations. We have had the web-based solution for 5 years and the LAN based system for over 10 years.
  • Your tracking products for ToolBook (and now SCORM) content have made my work as a content provider immeasurably better and easier.
  • TBK Tracker (from Platte Canyon) is a great tool that should do everything you are interested in. The price is very affordable and does a lot of things. You don't have to spend the time developing the complex reporting and database programming you probably did with your Access program.
  • I made the delivery and the customer is happy. Thanks for your TBK Tracker product!
