Hi,
 I need to have the capability for drawing innverted (mirror image)of
text strings on a graphics context in Java 1.1. What would be the best
way for going about such a thing. One way I can imagine would be to
produce an Image object in memory with the required string on it and
then somehow invert it( that shouldn't be too hard right?) And then draw
that Image on a panel or something. Is that a
feasible plan?  The inverted text will also need to be animated so the 
method has to be somewhat efficient. Can somebody suggest a better
plan using just the Java 1.1 classes ( and maybe Swing... but 
I'd like it if that could be avoided). If it is going to be very
complicated using only the basic AWT (and swing) classes, I am open to
suggestions involving third party classes (and/or fonts etc)...
 
  Thanks a lot
  Chetan Ahuja
