My question is quite simple :

How to draw a vertical text/label ?

When I use the graphics.rotate method , the label is lost somewhere in Wonkyland ...

Here a code try and another that both don't work :

graphics.pushState();
graphics.translate(this.bounds.x, this.bounds.y);        
graphics.rotate(-270);
graphics.drawText("TEST", 0, 0); 
graphics.popState()


new Label() {

            @Override
            protected void paintFigure(Graphics graphics) {
                if (isOpaque())
                    super.paintFigure(graphics);
                Rectangle bounds = getBounds();
                graphics.translate(bounds.x, bounds.y);

                if (!isEnabled()) {
                    graphics.translate(1, 1);
                    graphics.setForegroundColor(ColorConstants.buttonLightest);
                    graphics.drawText(getSubStringText(), getTextLocation());
                    graphics.translate(-1, -1);
                    graphics.setForegroundColor(ColorConstants.buttonDarker);
                }
                graphics.rotate(-270);
                graphics.drawText(getSubStringText(), getTextLocation());
                graphics.translate(-bounds.x, -bounds.y);
            }
        };


I read somewhere that rotate method will change coordinate but I didn't find any solution...

Any idea is welcomed ....

Thanks.

Don't ask me How, but it works !!

I've been stuck for several hours to put the label at the right place !!

My eclipse account is unusable Sad


Good luck with that :

let me know if you solve your problem

public class MyLabel extends Label implements RotatableDecoration {

    /** The rotation value. */
    private double angle;

    /** the final location . */
    private final Point location = new Point();

    /** The reference point. */
    private final Point refPoint = new Point();

    /** The location where we want the text. */
    private Point textWishedLocation;

    public MyLabel () {
        super();
    }

    public MyLabel (Image i) {
        super(i);
    }

    public MyLabel (String s) {
        super(s);
    }

    public MyLabel (String s, Image i) {
        super(s, i);
    }

    public Point getTextWishedLocation() {
        return this.textWishedLocation;
    }

    public void setTextWishedLocation(Point newTextWishedLocation) {
        this.textWishedLocation = newTextWishedLocation;
    }

    @Override
    public Rectangle getBounds() {
        if (this.bounds == null) {
            int xDiff = this.refPoint.x - this.location.x;
            int yDiff = this.refPoint.y - this.location.y;
            int x, y, width, height;
            if (xDiff >= 0) {
                width = xDiff;
                x = this.location.x;
            } else {
                width = -xDiff;
                x = this.refPoint.x;
            }
            if (yDiff >= 0) {
                height = yDiff;
                y = this.location.y;
            } else {
                height = -yDiff;
                y = this.refPoint.y;
            }
            this.bounds = new Rectangle(x, y, width, height);
        }
        return this.bounds;
    }

    @Override
    public void setLocation(Point p) {
        this.bounds = null;
        this.location.setLocation(p);
    }

    @Override
    public void setReferencePoint(Point ref) {
        Point pt = Point.SINGLETON;
        this.refPoint.setLocation(ref);
        pt.setLocation(ref);
        pt.negate().translate(this.location);
        // setRotation(Math.atan2(pt.y, pt.x));
    }

    public void setRotation(/* double angle */int newAngle) {
        this.bounds = null;
        this.angle = newAngle;// Math.toDegrees(angle);
    }

    @Override
    protected Point getIconLocation() {
        double linkLength = Math.sqrt(this.bounds.width * this.bounds.width + this.bounds.height * this.bounds.height);
        int y = 0;// -getIconSize().height;

        }
        graphics.drawText(getSubStringText(), getTextWishedLocation() /* getTextLocation() */);

Damned your boss is crueler than mine.

I really don't know how to do that !

I don't have an rcp development environement at the moment so I can't test anything.

Perhaps you should make a figure in which you override the paint method to draw single caracter text each one below the previous.

It might be possible like that


protcode
String s = "NAME";
for(int i = 0 ; i <= s.length();i++){
    graphics.drawText(s.substring(i,i+1));
    graphics.translate(0, -15);//get the right font size height
}


Give us a feedback Very Happy

Good Luck

hi the problem for vertical label is solved , now i am not able position it properly,
i am using an toolbarlayout with alignment center. the label is not positioning itself in the center vertically. the problem is we have to give the textwishedlocation value . its statically fixed in one location . i would like it to be centered as the container for the label resizes. thanks in advance

Hi,

the problem for vertical label has been solved in gef code, by extending ImageUtility Class, just refer the following code

private final ImageFigure image;

final Image icon = ImageUtility.createRotatedImageOfString( "Label Name",
new Font( Display.getCurrent(), "Times New Roman", 12, SWT.BOLD ),
ColorConstants.black, ColorConstants.white );
