I need to be able to rotate text in a label and align it to the left, right or center. So far I am able to do rotation with this code in the derived label\'s onPaint method:
Extension of Adrian Serafin's answer if you need to draw at a non-0 X,Y:
//90 degrees
e.Graphics.TranslateTransform(sz.Width, 0);
e.Graphics.RotateTransform(90);
e.Graphics.DrawString(Text, this.Font, Brushes.Black,
new RectangleF(sz.ToPointF().Y, sz.ToPointF().X, sz.Height, sz.Width), format);
e.Graphics.ResetTransform();
//180 degrees
e.Graphics.TranslateTransform(sz.Width, sz.Height);
e.Graphics.RotateTransform(180 this.Font, Brushes.Black,
new RectangleF(-sz.ToPointF().X, -sz.ToPointF().Y, sz.Width, sz.Height), format);
e.Graphics.ResetTransform();
//270 degrees
e.Graphics.TranslateTransform(0, sz.Height);
e.Graphics.RotateTransform(270);
e.Graphics.DrawString(Text, this.Font, Brushes.Black,
new RectangleF(-sz.ToPointF().Y, sz.ToPointF().X, sz.Height, sz.Width), format);
//0 = 360 degrees
e.Graphics.TranslateTransform(0, 0);
e.Graphics.RotateTransform(0);
e.Graphics.DrawString(Text, this.Font, Brushes.Black,
new RectangleF(sz.ToPointF().X, sz.ToPointF().Y, sz.Width, sz.Height), format);
e.Graphics.ResetTransform();
