You need to write a bigger area to the colour you want where you are going to output the text. The rotate is rotating an area that includes not just the text but the other junk as well. This is just a simple programming bug

I'm trying to get my head around this

IMAGE ROTATEx, y, width, height, new_x, new_y, angle!, remove black triangle artifact
Text 10,10,"NE"
Image rotate 6,4,30,30, new_x, new_y, angle!
that means it's picking up a rectangle 30 x 30 with the word NE in it?
Then rotating that by angle and placing it in the new position?

That's why it's using the grey colour instead of the blue because at the original location the colour is grey

Yet when I do Text 540,110,"NE" so it picks up the correct colour it Still prints a blank box with the grey colour

If I experiment and try and do as you say and use larger area to write to it just makes the grey boxes larger

It's possibly because I can't get my head around "exactly" what it's doing

Because you haven't changed the address where the rotate is sourcing the data

USE the BOX command to write a blue box at 0,0. Then use the original code. Once the rotates are done Rewrite the blue box to grey

You can see the effect with the attached

Option explicit
CLS RGB(gray)

Thank you, that works perfectly
I don't get why it needed the box but I'll work on it and try and figure that out myself

btw that other error I mentioned is still happening, I've narrowed it down to one section of code
SUB Forecast
LONGSTRING PRINT c()
conditions$ = JSON$(c(),"current_conditions.conditions")
print conditions$

I actually thought it would do the longstring print before it went on to the JSON$

edit: if I type run straight away it then runs fine till the next time, I suspect it might be something wrong in the data being received so I'm going to do the longstring print straight after wget and see how that goes

I thought it might be the buffer for c() wasn't large enough and was not getting the end }}, I had it at 15000
I then counted the characters received and there was 93885, it should have been enough but I've upped it to 16K just in case

Maybe add a delay after each line to make sure any print buffering has finished.

Please try the attached and see if it makes the crashing better or worse

Sorry Peter, it crashed again first time I pressed run
I deleted the old mmbasic, and .options
transferred this version and got this immediately

Edit:

Without doing anything else I pressed run and it ran, same as before
btw it was around secs = 17 when I pressed run the first time so it shouldn't have tried to get the JSON data

Ok - that's useful. It looks like the json you are trying to load is simply too big and/or complex for the parser. Nothing I can do about it I'm afraid

I really hate to disagree with such an expert but I have to with this.
The Pi and Picromite is definitely able to handle the data and parsing.
The old version 5.05.01 worked perfectly for days with no issues, the only thing wrong was Blit and image rotate didn't work
Blit I discovered was my fault because I didn't know it had been changed to three parameters and not 4
I checked this by loading it up again and running it overnight, over 12 hours so far with no crashes
The only thing missing was Image rotate
This version worked best out of all the ones you did yesterday, it ran for several hours before crashing and throwing this error

If I close the terminal and do screen -D -r it goes back to the error and won't do anything until I close the terminal again
The only way to gain control of the Pi again is close the terminal, log back in and reboot.

However, thank you so so much for trying :)
I can get away without the image rotate function by using miniature images with the words inside rotated to the correct angle.

Please could you try the attached. I've updated the JSON parser to the latest version. This includes bug fixes of both memory leaks and buffer overflow conditions that may relate to the issues you are seeing. I've run it on a simple test program for an extended period without issue

Peter it's working perfectly for over 2 hours so far.
It did crash the very first time I press run but it was also a new install of the latest Stretch, Pigpio and python3-distutils on a clean SD card.

I took a screenshot in case it's any help

I also tried it on a new install on a clean SD card with the latest Pi OS lite on my Pi 4 but it didn't run
pi@Pi4:~ $ sudo ./mmbasic
./mmbasic: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Please run it on the version of stretch that you posted - any upgrades are likely to break it - this is exactly the problem with the whole Pi infrastructure
