How to draw rotated text?

Hi,

I was looking on the SDK but I can't find how to draw text in angles
different from 0 and 90. Is it possible? If not, does exist some 3rd party
library allowing this? Any hint is welcomed

Thanks in advance

Try using Graphics.DrawPa th() or FillPath() methods. Look at help for
GraphicsPath.Ad dString() that might help you out..

Hi,

To rotate text at a location, follow these steps

1 - Do a translate transformation to the location of your text
2 - Do a rotate transform through the required angle
3 - Write the text as normal using drawstring

The following code should help you, it assumes that there are no prior
transformations

objGraphics.Tra nslateTransform (X, Y)
objGraphics.Rot ateTransform(.R otation)
objGraphics.Dra wString(Text, Font, objBrush, 0, 0, .StringFormat)

I'm using PIL to generate some images which may be rotated at the user's option. When they are rotated, the original image is cropped in the new image (which is fine), and the corners are black (which is not, in this case). I can't find any documented way to change the default fill color (if that's what it is) for the corners, and PIL also doesn't seem to support a flood fill. I have created a flood fill in Python, which works but which...

Hello, there, I have no idea how to draw an ellipse with an rotated angle. For example, the ellipse's center is (20.0, 50.0), two conjugate diameter pairs end-point are (35.0, 35.0), (25.0, 55.0). I hope to use win32 API functions to finish this drawing. Is it possible? Please help me giving your suggestion. Tks.

Hi, I am facing a problem in my application. I have an image on which there are many numbers present. I can find the pixel position of the center of those numbers. Now I have the names of those numbers in seperate file which I have to write to corresponding numbers. I rotate my image on 45 degrees with point to rotate 30 pixels on top left which shows my text on 45 degrees on top left. Writing this doesn't gives my much trouble.

I have been searching for hours to find a solution to display text rotated at 90 degrees in firefox, and could not find one. css3 and IE has the css command "writing-mode: tb-rl;" but this does not work in firefox. i came to conclusion that SVG is the solution.
