Description

The following code shows how to draw vertical text using AffineTransform.

Example

class MyCanvas extends JComponent {
  public void paint(Graphics g) {

    Font font = new Font("Georgia", Font.ITALIC, 50);
    g.setFont(font);
    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
    AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform();
    at.setToRotation(-Math.PI / 2.0, getWidth() / 2.0, getHeight() / 2.0);
    g2d.setTransform(at);
    g2d.drawString("java2s.com", 150, 100);
  }
}

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] a) {
    JFrame window = new JFrame();
    window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    window.setBounds(30, 30, 450, 450);
