Problem to draw a vertical Label [message #210264]

Hi,

I tried to draw a Vertical Label :

public class VerticalLabel extends Label {

public VerticalLabel (String name) {
super(name);
}
....
protected void paintFigure(Graphics g) {
g.rotate (90);
super (g);

}
...
}

When adding to my Figure, it is displayed but not rotated !
What is wrong ?

thanks
Virginie

Not sure, I think you'd need to adjust the bounds of your label (to be
vertically oriented) otherwise it will likely be clipped to the horizontal
label extent.

There's a utility that you might find convenient:

org.eclipse.draw2dImageUtilities#createRotatedImageOfString( ..)
