Could anyone point me in the right direction.

I am trying to write some mapbasic code to label points. These points make up
many
seismic lines and i would like to be able to find a way of labeling only every
10th, 50th
or 100th point and also rotating all the labels so that they are at 90 degrees
to the angle
of the line.

I have tried to do this using the CreateText command but the labels appear very
messy
and not well positioned to the points even after playing around with the anchor
and offset
values. This is also very slow as i have large numbers of points to label.

I would prefer to use automatic labeling as this is much neater and quicker, but
i can't see
how to sample the labeling to defined intervals or how to rotate labels
depending on the
varying angles of each line of points.

Thanks in advance for any help and apologies if i've missed the obvious !!
