How do I display text vertically? Is this even possible with PDFsharp or MigraDoc?

If not, could anyone let me know how it can be done or some kind of work around?

Thank you for any help.

It surely works with PDFsharp.
Simply use rotation.

A sample that uses rotation:

I'm having some trouble:

Following the sample you directed me to, I cannot get the text to rotate. This is my code (vb):

Code:
Dim gfxRotate As XGraphics = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page)
        gfxRotate.DrawString("Principal", SmallBoldFont, XBrushes.Black, New XPoint(20, 550))
        gfxRotate.RotateAtTransform(75, New XPoint(20, 550))


but it does not rotate the string. Am I using it wrong? Could you provide an example that rotates a DrawString() please?

Thank you

Problem solved. I put the RotateAtTransform line before the DrawString and it worked.
Sorry for not trying that first before posting, but I was following the sample.

For anyone who needs a simple way to rotate their text, here is my code:

Code:
Dim gfxRotate As XGraphics = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page)
        gfxRotate.RotateAtTransform(90, New XPoint(20, 550))
        gfxRotate.DrawString("Text Here", SmallBoldFont, XBrushes.Black, New XPoint(20, 550))


Be sure to dispose any other graphics used prior.
