Possible to display text vertically? [message #457081]

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to display a Label or Text field
vertically. Using either of these classes is probably the wrong decision
for this task, but I can't think of any other way. Perhaps I can write the
text to an image and rotate the image?

Then I decided to open a book... So the rotate image idea is highly
recommended by Rob Warner in "The Definitive Guide to SWT and JFace"
(www.apress.com) in Chapter 10, Listing 10-15. I would copy the text here
but that would be blatant plagerism.

Note that there's new graphics api in the 3.1 stream that does this in a
nicer way. For an example see
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet10.java?rev=HEAD&a mp;content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup .
