Hi,
The java drawString() method draws string horizontally by default, but I want to draw the string vertically, see an example below: I want to draw the string "abcdef" as below format:
a
b
c
d
e
f
so, I thought of the AffineTransform, but I can not work it out.
Who can help me? If you have other ways, they are welcome too.
Thanks. Robin
Create your own method to do it.
public void drawVerticleString(Graphics g, String line)
{
//you do the rest
}
You can use a for loop.
consider the following example:
if the orignal string is:
abcdef
hijklm
I would draw the string like:
ah
bi
cj
dk
el
fm
I think out an method:
reordering the charactres in the destination format and draw them horizontal.
No other good method?
