Paintbrush Cannot Rotate a Graphic (71506)

This article was previously published under Q71506

The Paintbrush program included with Windows version 3.0 cannot rotate a graphic 90 degrees. However, Paintbrush can "flip" a graphic, horizontally or vertically, and "tilt" a graphic.

When Paintbrush flips a graphic, it makes a mirror image of the graphic, based on the horizontal or vertical axis.

A tilted graphic has its base line dragged horizontally to cause the graphic to lean (or tilt) at an angle.

For more information, please refer to chapter 8 in the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide" for version 3.0.
