I have made a 3d enviroment in jitter using opengl, this consists of a plane and above that a set of spheres positioned according to 3d co-ordinates captured by a gesture capture system. using jit.gl.handle @inherit_transform 1 i am able to rotate both the plane and all the points, this part is working fine. My problem comes when i add text. I am using text2d and i want to simply position text in the top left corner giving some infomation to the user. The problem is i cant get the text to stay in the top left corner as handle affects the position of the text when it is used to rotate the image. I have tried turning off automatic on all the drawing objects but this didnt help. I am new to jitter so any help 

or advice you could give me would be great
