Boudga Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: Jacks raging bile duct.... Insane since: Mar 2000	posted 04-24-2000 18:15 I need to create a tileable wallpaper for someone. They want the words "Domain Admin" tiled at -45Âº. If the text was horizontal it would be no problem for me. However, when it's rotated it doen't tile well for me. Can anyone assist me with a tip on how to create this tile?<P>Thanks in advance!<P>

First, make your Document a square (ie 32x32, 64x64, 128x128, etc..) Make your text as you normally would. Rotate it 45° with the transform tool. Second, go to filters>offset. Offset by one half your image in both horizontal and vvertical. (ie A 32x32 image would be offset 16H and 16V. ) Now give it a go. Ctrl+A to select your whole image. Goto Edit-define pattern. Open a new document at least three times larger than your orginal image. Shift+Backspace Use:Pattern. Sit back and admire your perfection.<P>-I'm not a complete idiot, there are some parts missing.
