Hello all,
I just got an idea for a neat effect for an upcoming desktop. I found this wallpaper, http://wallbase.cc/wallpaper/485031 and that sparked the idea to have text and meters "reflected" on the side wall mirrors.
SO, my only question is how would I go about flipping meter's display to be backwards to gain the effect of reflection?
Many thanks in advance!

Sorry, Flip=1 has nothing to do with images.

He makes no mention of images, I popped my best guess for a meter in...
- Line, Bar & Histogram Flip
- Bitmaps, Buttons, Images & Rotators ImageFlip
- You can invert text using Angle

Re: Reflective text
Correct. I don't know why I read into his message that he was referring to an image meter. Anyway, as Seahorse says, there are several ways depending on the type of meter, but I caution that really good looking reflective text with for instance a transparency gradient and proper perspective, is not really possible with any of them. You are going to be firing up Photoshop or something to get that.Seahorse wrote:He makes no mention of images, I popped my best guess for a meter in...
