The information in this article applies to:
If you rotate a bitmap file (TIFF, BMP, PCX, or DIB) that is banded in Microsoft Draw version 1.0, it rotates incorrectly.
1. Import a banded bitmap from the Clipboard into Microsoft Draw.
2. Select the bitmap, and choose the Rotate-Left command. Draw
compresses the bands of the bitmap into a single band height.
bands reversed. (The top band appears on the bottom, and the bands
progress to the bottom band, which displays on the top.)
bands of the bitmap into a single band height.
original bitmap layout. Some gaps may appear between the bands because
rounding errors can occur during multiple rotations.
The filters that ship with Microsoft Draw version 1.0 do not produce banded bitmaps; however, you can get banded bitmaps from other sources (such as the Macintosh), and the bands do rotate as individual objects.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Draw version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
