Post subject:  How to draw text vertically
Hi,
I need to place text vertically into my pdf document.
This document is one big image that I create on the fly and save as pdf.

I am using DrawText method, but it does not let me control orientation.
Could you please help.

Thank you in advance for your response.

Helen.

Hi!

Look at the "DrawImage (rotated)" section of this sample:

With "RotateTransform" you can draw rotated text.

Hi Thomas,

The sample code you quoted shows how to rotate an image, but I need to rotate text.
Is there a way to create image out of text?

Thanks
Helen.

Transformations of the gfx apply to anything that is drawn (images and text).

I am very new to graphics programming. this is my first graphical project. so could you please help me a bit.

I have this main gfx where I add all my graphical elements to.
Now, I will create another gfx with the line of text I need to rotate. I will rotate it using the techinque you mentioned.
But how do I add this new gfx to a particular place in my main gfx?

Thank you in advance for your help.
Helen.

You only need one gfx.
You can call gfx.Save() before the transformation and gfx.Restore() after drawing the vertical text - the sample uses these functions in BeginBox/EndBox.
